Damn Billj, the axles look nice All sorts of "new" on your rig. BTW, I've been using the wooden rig stands, work great. |

Looks good! You should have let me know on the rear weight holders. I would have/will be willing to switch those out to white (as long as they're not used). |

Man, the rig looks good, its been a while since I checked up on it. I see your still rockin my caps and tray mount I may finally be getting my XR10 back together soon, my crazy summer is winding down and I have had some time for RC stuff lately. I have been out of the loop for a few months, I hadn't even seen any white UGC Viper chassis yet. Now I really want to get my XR back together, maybe that's what I will do tonite unless I have a long "honeydew" (Honey Do_______) list when I get home.

| Its a good thing I have a nice rock pile in my basement I ust picked up a Wraith so I am having fun w/ that, broke it first time out but hopefully it will be fixed by the weekend, waitin on parts. I also had some fun w/ my F'OFF'ish SCX10 earlier in the year but the giant motor broke some stuff I haven't gotten around to fixing yet, I am a busy procrastinator, not a good combination.

Had our first South Fl. State comp of the season last Sunday.I did ok, finished third. I hadn't driven my Viper in over a month before that. Family obligations wouldn't allow it. I sure could tell, im rusty as hell. Wadded it up on the finals course. Ended up breaking a proto lower chassis plate (not the production Carbon Fiber plate) Last edited by billj; 12-11-2011 at 07:46 AM. |

Well after breaking my proto lower chassis plates,I Put my production Viper lower chassis and skid back on. And in honor of the SF 49ers finally getting back to the playoffs, i painted up some new panels. Im ready (I think) for the 2nd So. Florida State comp, next week Last edited by billj; 01-01-2012 at 02:34 PM. |

Well got the proto Viper together finally. Im lagging behind the other UGC team drivers. Just getting over 2 weeks of bronchitis. So anyway the new lower plates/skid and more rounded top cab look great. This is very close to what the new production chassis will look like, with a small change to the skid. And of course CF side platesWill get in some testing this weekend |

| Re: billj's first MOA build
Well had a local comp, didnt do to well. Got 5th out of 6. I didn't crawl for about a month and it really showed. Really, really rusty. But on a good note the new chassis did well. Tons of ground clearance. Sidehilled well. My problems for the day were mostly driver related. I still need to do some tuning on ride height and shock location. But all in all the new Viper worked well Did have one little problem |
