What a waste???
That was the most fun I've had with it since I got it!!! No joke!!!

And.....you should know that after about 10 of those launches, it is still in perfect working order. Two of the wheels are broken off and two springs flew off but the rest of it work fine. The Nylint is the toughest damn crawler I've ever seen in my life.

Yeah Moger.....that thing is amazing. None of us could believe it! Everytime it went off a cliff and parts were flying everywhere, it just kept running! Even when it had only three tires left on it, it would pull itself up to a cliff and dive off again, and again, and again. It was funnier than hell. I'm going to get new wheels and tires for it and do it again at the next comp. We'll see how long it will last with the Digler behind the wheel.

Try and bolt some large washers to the wheels to reinforce them

Good idea but I doubt anything will help if you drive off a 50 foot cliff.

I just posted this video in the Video Section as well, for all to enjoy!

Great pics slugz and Fred!!

I had a great time competing again. It was great to see everyone again and to meet the new faces. It was a great day.

I took off my HS-5995TG servo and put on an HS-5645. I think the current draw of the super torque servo and the 2 esc's was too much for my battery. Hopefully next time I should be able to finish the courses. .

I also tweaked the shock settings, and changed the gearing (13t up front and 15t in the rear is not a good thing ) so next time you guys will all witness the power of the fully operational 2.2 clod!!!!

I want to say he is 6 years old but Dirk will have to correct me if I am wrong. He drives his dadies trucks and kicks all of our butts.

Thanks for the compliments on the pics but I am ready to trash my camera. Of the 130 pics I took most of them were out of focus It has never done that before and I am not ready to dump a couple hundred on a new one :?
