Those are now technical terms in the Crawlorado Crawler Club.

When you say "front dig" there are people that still don't know what that means, when you say "peel out" they know what the hell you are talking about.

When you say "give it a little bump" some people don't get it, tell them to "pop a wheely" and they'll know what you mean.

We're just trying to help all the new people.

My bad! I just hear all those when kids see me out crawlin... Oh and the best one, "How fast does that thing go?" My neighbors son has asked me how fast my crawlers are at least a dozen times, and I tell him "That's top speed right there" and then he says "My Savage can kick the krap out of that thing!" Then I say "Go get it" He goes in the garage, plays around with that oily nasty un-maintained POS till he gives up on getting it running then he comes back and asks me if I can fix it for him! Maybe if his Dad wasn't still in bed at 3:00 in the afternoon he could help his son get the POS running!

I just thought PEEL OUT sounded really cool. I didn't know they were technical terms.

I wasn't there to mess around and be "cool" I was 100% serious all day long, when I was hollering those things out I was trying to help those guys.

Couldn't have been the complete lack of sleep that you put yourself through on a regular basis... Could it??

Thanks again to everyone.
Was a hot day for sure. Father Peter had a melt down all dressed in black.
Looked good though, and his rig ran good too.

This really is the best group of people anyone could ask to be around. Everybody always wants to see you finish the courses and will always lend a hand, give advice or scrap up parts to get-r-done for ya.

Again, best of luck to all going to Nationals!
Jason, hope you finally got some sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppppp!

BRAD, 2 thunbs up man!

See everyone at the next one.

For you I would say a new servo, and some Losi Claws. Maybe upgrade the battery as well. There are endless things to buy - you know this. THink about where you were weak. I think it is your steering and tires. I would also add some weights to your wheels as well.

[rcracer11]

my battery is fine its a brand new 4200 venom. i can handle me tires. and i got bbs in all of them. ill prolly get a better servo. whats the cheapest servo thats better than a digital high torque traxxas servo?

The Hitec 5645 is something I have used for years in various crawlers. It's a good value and good torque.

Limit those shocks like I mentioned, stiffen that left rear spring, and you should do much better next time.

I may get totally flamed for this, but I have one of CKRC's "wiggle" servos that I think is just fine... That's all I could afford when I was building and haven't had any problems with it (knock on wood)
