I was trying to buy a hitch an adjustable one that we could bolt up to the frame rails of each rig but thats to time consuming and right now there out of stock :-( so I was thinking that everyone must pull from there frame somewhere on the back or on the body. But no axle pulling or from a four link plate etc..it won't be exact b/c there are so many different size vehicles but the best way I could think of. At least this way it will still incorporate the suspension.

and as far as being ready goes I almost have a roller

Ok, just wondering, some people will probably have alittle advantage, but they'll probably need it!!

Looks like I'll make it with the tuber..tested the electronics today and all seems fine so my guess is that water still got into the rx and cause the glitching.

Put your panties back on...the chevy might be back in business

EDIT: what happens if you get stuck and can't get it unstuck? do you take like a 10sec add on for touching your rig so that you'll be able to finish?

Stuck, What's that? I imagine that you could winch out and take the time as it is added on to your final time, or that's it and your through.

Got the tuber running and ready, I though I was going to buy a brushless setup for the chevy but I decided that I'll just sell it.

I'll try my best to show up on time

Does anybody have an extra WK axle shaft? The axle shaft on mine broke at the ball/pin end.:-(
I checked superior online and their out of stock on the shafts, so does anyone know if CPH has them?

For which event if? it is the obstacle course a 10 sec penalty sounds about right, the mud hole is based on distance and the hill climb is still up in the air on time or distance prob be a combo of both I will time you but if you don't make it will get your dist. so that way if there are alot of people that don't make it i will still be able to give you the right amount of points
