Once we get another 12.5" jig made, it's super easy. Sounds like Dean will make one and if he doesn't I will make another one.

Great pics Dean. Tires look great on the Yota.

Brandon, how is it you have a new rig built for every comp? Seems like anyway. Scout looks awesome.

Badger, don't think we will be seeing any pics of the Truckler once 2nd gear is hooked up. It will just look like a silver and black blur. Nice job on it. Looks great. Next time I'll bring some VHT Track bite to pour during your burnouts.

No VHT please! I added traction compound to the tires but I am not going to add any more. As Sam said, the lack of traction is probably why I didn't break anything..... yet.

I try to do everything I can to irritate you jk... Actually I love building and trying new setups. I only have two scalers right now, sold off the rest to build new ones. I wish I could afford to keep them all!!

Hey All,

Great time at the comp!! I'm glad to see I didn't come in dead last!! I rushed home, fixed my busted servo arm and spent 2hrs at a local crawling spot to get it all out of my system. I went back there today and crawled for about an hour too. FYI for all running Mamba's, v.1.16 of the firmware just came out and it seemed to be a good upgrade. Everything seemed a little bit smoother. They added some more options as well. I'm looking forward to the next comp, even if the SRM guys show up!! heh-heh. Nice meeting you all, good to put faces to names to screen names. ;) Great to see some skilled driving and I learned alot, got some new mods on my list. See you next time!!!

Cheers,

Rob

BTW, Lance, thanks for putting my rig in the first shot! DJ did a great job with the photos. I took a bunch too. As soon as I get them off the camera I'll post some up.

I believe those are the MSD 1.9 beadlocks:

But what is the hub thing in the middle of the rim from then? They look like the MSD's combined with the rc4wd wheels.

I think you are correct sir, MSD bead locks + RC4WD center caps = the 1.9 maddness that is Mr Chino

You guys are both right, however I think the center caps were from the RPP beadlocks. Probably identical to the RC4WD ones. Sick combo for sure

All three of you guys are right. The center caps are in fact round as well as the rims and tires. Definitely a great setup!

Remember that bouncing booby avatar? Someone needs to make a commercial with that and RC4WD's new tires.

Well kind sirs, you are all correct.

However, you might also note that California is the third largest rice producer in the world.

Reason #1 why I live here.
