Man that chassis is super sexy"thumbsup" I know you want to trade me for my MOA Fastback. lol

it sure is, and haha your funny :lmao:

Very nice Tyler. :flipoff:

Very Nice"thumbsup"

Nice rig! Good job beating your dad on sunday."thumbsup"

Traitor :lmao:

The rig looks great Tyler! One you get used to it we will have to start worrying about you as a weekly podium threat;-) you had some of the best driving I have seen from you on Sunday, now make that juice work driver "thumbsup"

Try laying the rear shocks down a hole or two and see what it does for you.

Nice looking truck, those 5spoke wheels w/ the holes have really been on a lot of rigs down there in Florida, those little ****s. At least they have good taste:lmao:

You only gotta resect your elders outside of competition, when its time to compete, beat on them mercilessly!

The wheelworks? Bill bought them and ran them most of 2010, loaned them to me while my DH's were being worked on, then Tyler used them for mockup. They are nice wheels. And I've been called worse by better boss :lmao:

Yeah the wheelworks M887's, i really like them. They are like my ex, they get around:lmao:Im keeping rovers mounted up on them, with kinda firm foams for a different feel.

Nice chassis choice....ive just bought one for my berg build....just hate waiting for them to swim over the pond :lmao:....them T1E rear links look real well.

Thanks DickyT, im really gunna work hard to be a better driver, need to get another win under my belt 8), but for now im just going to practice.

Hey also, what does lowering my shock do for me? I lowered it but i dont feel any difference

Have you taken it out on the rocks or are you hand cycling it and couch driving? Layed down more they will respond faster, lowers the center if gravity a hair, and helps fight the rear end wanting to drive under the rig, the latter is most noticeable in rear dig.

Just couch driving it. When we go to miramar thursday i guess ill probably be able to see more of a difference.

We will leave miramar with that thing dialed. I am leaving my rig at home, but bringing my batteries and tools. We will just tune yours. Bring wheel weights. What weight oil are you running?

nice rig tyler, did a great job on it, even though your dad help you out. "thumbsup":lmao:

Ok, and I am running 30 weight

Thanks john, and yea my dad may have done a lot of work on it, but im still gunna be the one to beat you with it :lmao:8)

finally got my super 300's :flipoff:

Does that thing run on 4" shock? I'm still running a Fastback, but starting to plan a berg build. Most of the guys in my local club are T1E team drivers, so I'll be the only one with a Beetle Juice if I go that route. Plus I'm thinking it does use 4" shocks so one less thing to buy.

Looks killer Tyler"thumbsup"

Tylers are 4" Eye to eye"thumbsup" Big bores/pink mini-t springs. Crazyorigon caps w/revo ends.

THATS FUNNY RIGHT THERE!!!!:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Thanks DickyT for helping me with my rig today, it helped a lot "thumbsup"

what was wrong with your berg

It needed tuning "thumbsup" it drives much better than when we got to the park today.

Anytime Tyler, it was a great day of crawling, even without having my rig.

Yea it was, tomorow will be better, i put in thos foams like u said, and i didnt lay the rear shocks all the way down, want to see how it does tommorow with the three slugs first

coming along nice looks like santa arrived a couple of days early lol.

lol, yea, santa was cool and gave my gift early (thanx dad) and now to fine tuning :)

tyler, that is one of cleanest builds i ever saw:mrgreen: hope my old droid can keep up

,

Thanks Graham, truck works great and I'm sure you'll do fine "thumbsup" broke a gear today practicing :cry:, got it fixed when i got home 8), my dad will post a picture of it later

Heres the pic of your shredded third gear:shock:

Damn, Tyler, what were you doing when you busted the gear? Thats why yr dad got all that 300 on his. lol

:lmao: i said jam it and he jammed it:roll:

Good job yesterday Tyler"thumbsup" The Bjv4 i really starting to come alive. Keep it up"thumbsup"

thanks, good job to you to and everyone that was out there, finally got equal competition since we are all moa now "thumbsup"

Exactly, so dont blame me, just doin what you said to do

Thank you Rich Garrett for letting me use your reciever at last sundays comp, I really appreciate it :)

Changed my shock weight, Got 50 weight in front and 60 in the rear, going with Rich Garretts idea, also changed my shock position, fronts are in the front hole and the rears are in the farthest rear hole

where are your upper links at just a Question. I have not driven mine yet like this but hate to get in the Truck before I see how it is driven
