This is my first time posting on rccrawler.com, I just had to thank all the guys for the good time my son and myself had at the comp on sunday. I am "the guy with the red emaxx" broken right servo arm and all. I hope to be back with a comp rig.

I love my hawgs. They grip very well on everything and I do have the foam in them so they dont conform to the rocks and fold in on themselves which can be a bad thing at times.

Glad to have you here grover. You should post some pics of of your truck here so more people can check it out

hey grover, glad you could make it out. sorry if most of us where hanging out amongst ourselves, we all know each other and sometimes that happens. hope you make it out to one of the next get-togethers. all current info is here:

http://www.thecrawlerstore.com/Events.html

Results for boulder battle #3 are as follows:

kevinlongisland, Extreme................29
slbks5, CX.......................................74

minitrucker, modded txt-1..............239

thank you to all that attended, it was a blast.

Ditto Grover, you gotta come back to the next outing. I wanna see how those kongs do on the rocks!

By the way, just a quick update, I fixed the upper link mounts and ran two batts. through it today and everything went perfect, w/o a glitch. Only thing is, the 1/4 scale servos bent the steering links I made out of 6-32 all-thread and rolled the rear tires off the wheels (I didn't have them glued on yet). So, 1/4" aluminum links are in the works.

Also, the novak XRS works better than I had hoped!

Everyone said that I wouldn't like it, but I think it works like a champ, so far. I thought that it had a "double tap" reverse, but it doesn't. I think it's just the Novak "smart braking" feature that keeps the operator from accidentally throwing it in reverse while going full throttle forward. Maybe the reason it appears to work so well is because the servos have their own power lead off the batt., and don't go through the esc for power?

Will start it's own thread as soon as I get the dig. camera back.

Later
