Not being satisfied with melting a brush off the brand new 12 turn, and exploding a yoke, I barrowed one from 666. (Thanks man!)

Made one full climb and stripped out the tranny bad!

I'm going to try and get in the race but I think I may have to stick with Nickel Metal Hydride.

Will there be weight restrictions on the pede demo derby?!!

I need to hurry up and break the chassis...
These are my sand rail parts!
ha ha no, in fact i dont even care if its a pede, just bring something and make me laugh my azz off.!

Speaking of the rules...I read over the latest version and read where if you get 20 points at a single gate you are able to move past that gate and continue on. It is written as "optional", but considering there were some gates at the last comp that practically no one made it past (the first gate on course #2 for 2.2 comp for example) is this something we might go by? Don't get me wrong, I like the courses tough, it's just that in these situations where most competitors point or time out on a single, early gate, it would be nice to run more of the course. Know what I mean?

We actually used this rule on course 2 at comp.#3, but didnt feel it was necassary this time around when we set up courses. None of us really had any idea about how difficult it was going to be.

We really did want to set up some easier courses at this location, however it is very disceptive, and we really dont know what is driveable until the comp.
hope ya had fun anyway, and we do try to keep this rule in mind
Thanks

No need to make anything other than a "nice response". It was a nice question. I had a great time at the comp.

Sure we can do the SALLY rule if you want. Just look out that means even tougher courses then, I will just make the second gate even harder!!

Wait I changed my mind, no SALLY rule, and anyone with rear steer not locked out will be DQed!

ROTFLMAO! Ok, ok, alright....I was just pointing out a rule (I didn't make this shizit up) and that it was an option. With the courses as awesome and as challenging as you RC Crawler "Course Masters" design and build them, I just thought...never mind. What was I thinking?, we don't need no stinking "Sally" rule. Competing in 2.2 comp with rear steer (and NOT using it) and also in Supers sure is a fun thing! And it IS all about having FUN, right?

PS: Your avatar is really scary.

I had my 2.2 set up with rear steer at first and then had to lock it out for the comps.. That became a pain so I just took it out.
