Looks GREAT.

Fairlead is nice. I like how it has the roller look without the complexity of having to build a roller.

Move those steering links to the tops of the knuckles for more clearance.

Hey Jason I might have something to play with in the super class too. I will be working hard to get it ready so I can make a fool of myself not once but twice.

Yeah, yeah. I hear ya. Build chit like that rig and claim to be a newb.

I'm not buying it.

Harold,

Bring a super if you want but we're not going to compete with them. The terrain is boring for a super. There are a few spots that could be a challenge but you really have to try odd lines.

hlpressley · 11-22-2006, 07:18 PM

Yeah but me as a driver can make the simplest things look hard.

Thanks for the heads up.!

JasonInAugusta · 11-23-2006, 08:39 PM

Someone was asking about the water hazards...(look for the reflection of the sky on the rocks)

This is a lake so there's obviously no tide

but there are several "tide pools" that form when it rains.

These range from an inch or so to about 6" deep.

If it hasn't rained we'll still have water hazards, we'll just use a 5 gallon bucket to fill these pools.

One of my rig in one of the water holes...

canucksrc · 11-23-2006, 08:44 PM

Thank you for the Update. I can live with that. Now if those darn Punisher shafts could arrive.

JasonInAugusta · 11-23-2006, 08:51 PM

Most of them are about 2'-3" deep, nothing to worry about.

P47Tbolt and myself were messing around in one the this past weekend that we'd both worried about. Neither of us had done anything to protect the electronics but we straddled the deep portion of the hole.

I went through it today with the Land Rover (which is running Quark/Revolver) and did fine. Got worried about swamping it at one point but I came out of it unscathed.

Just made it that much more fun.

canucksrc · 11-23-2006, 08:56 PM

Should be a great event. Can't believe the number of people that have signed up

I'll be running a winch on the Courier,

JasonInAugusta · 11-23-2006, 08:57 PM

Cool. With a fairlead like that you'd better run a winch!

I'm going to try to get lights, winches, and a few other things on some of my rigs...as well as build one or two between now and then.

truckerbuddy2 · 11-23-2006, 09:45 PM

i got a question, what class would a stock clod run in if one was to show up? and by stock, i mean bone stock with exception of esc, and servos.

JasonInAugusta · 11-23-2006, 10:01 PM

That's not a 2.2 or a 1.9

Clods fit into Supers.

truckerbuddy2 · 11-23-2006, 10:31 PM

hmmm.... i guess a stock clod would be severly out classed then.... might still be fun to watch tho.... eh???

JasonInAugusta · 11-23-2006, 10:52 PM

Yeah, bring it...just don't have a class for it.

I think three classes will be plenty of crawling.

AIPOHAKU · 11-23-2006, 11:40 PM

Why dont you guys start posting pics of your rigs that'll be ran for us hommies back home who arent makeing it!!!!

chino63 · 11-24-2006, 12:18 AM

just checked out this thread. wish i still lived back east. would be fun to run with you guys and check out the terrain there. hope you all have a great time! ...... how much is a plane ticket these days?..........

JasonInAugusta · 11-24-2006, 10:11 PM

Hey guys...

2.2s have been split into two classes - 2.2 comp and 2.2 scale.

Comp rigs will follow RCC rules (12.5" wheebase, etc) and the 2.2 scale will follow Scale4x4 rules. (battery mounted on chassis, etc)

If you're bringing a 2.2 please specify which you're bringing...if not both.

Scooteracing · 11-25-2006, 11:14 AM

Can you post a link to the Scale 4x4 2.2 scale class rules. Thanks

rocpede · 11-25-2006, 01:38 PM

here is the link to the scale4x4rc web site for the rules:

I have only started building my truck, but unless I run into any unforeseen problems, I will be there to compete in the scale 2.2 class.
