Damn, now you tell me. I just repainted my rigs with the NASA scheme and bought a NASA moon man jumpsuit.

While I was out doing my NASA chores I replaced the flyers with the new ones at both J&M Hobbies and Talbots.

It depends on how many people compete. Right now we only have 4 people so we could be done with 3 coarses in no time.

You can easily compete in either 1 or 2 stages (maybe all 3) and still have time to get down to Hollister.

That would be cool if you guys came up for a little bit of the action. I didn't know you guys had R/C crawlers. You might just have to bring your LEGO crawler also for some Autonomous crawling action. The 3 stooges crawlers await the challenge Wait a minute, you smoked me at the last comp. Maybe I don't want you to bring it.



There should be plenty of time though for competition and you guys getting back to home base. We can just get you to run the 3rd course first if we are running short on time.

here is some pics of my rig same. Cant find any of what you have been working on.

chester trying to get it.

other side

flex shot

here is the lego crawler on the truck

it has over 7 inchs of cleances in the cinter and 5 at the suspension links. 14 1/2 wheel base. I run two standard servos on each axle with servo savers so it steers better then my brothers with a high tq and servo saver because the servo saver takes alot of the power out. it has lathe motors and 9 t pinions. intellispeed SC. 4 channel radio. What it really needs is a ford bronco II body on it!

So I have 8 batteries charged and need to rebuild 2 more and charge them tonight. My 3 7 cell packs for my TLT gets me about 2 hours run time each...

How long are we going to be crawling for?

Question

Hi. Would I breech any etiquette by bringing my four year old son? He loves the crawlers. He's a pretty mellow guy and I don't see him causing any trouble. Assuming it's okay, I'd only be able to stay till 11am. If I'm unable to compete for these reasons, would it be okay if we just watched awhile? Thanks.
Chris
