I got mine working fairly well, but it's not wireless (controller has about a 6 ft cord)

9:30 ...... That will give us plenty of time to set up both courses beforehand and go over any questions.

I am planning on being there around 8 or 8:30.

almost got the rig back together and ready. redid the entire electronics, just need to solder on new connections for the winch, waterproof the box the electronics are in, figure out how to mount it, put it all back together, and hope it all works flawlessly

okay I lied, I'm not ALMOST there, I'm far from it, lol. I'm going to be very busy tomorrow night and Saturday, but I WILL NOT miss this

Just started tearing mine down. Going to rebuild the axles and move the electronics. Still need to waterproof them as well.


Gonna add a lil more speed as well while I have it apart.

hey random thought; does anyone have a good motor pinion puller they can bring with them Sunday? I have this 550 size drill motor that I'd like to see how well it works, but it has a gear pressed onto it's output and I don't have a way of getting it off...

hey we need to get some good video this weekend. I'd like to compile a little video together


just used some extra bungees I had to rig up a camera mount. pretty solid, even though it makes the rig REALLY top heavy it'll make a cool chase cam though

Damn.....this thing needed some TLC.

Axles are ready, changed the 4 link around some on the rear by adding a Dinky 4 link mount, battery is waterproofed, electronics are waterproofed, fixed the steering on the front, etc etc.

Still need to mount the electronics box but that won't take too long tomorrow evening, need to bolt the new handwound in as well.

I can tell you right now, that camera will not make it through some sections I have in mind.

This aint no glorified trail ride.
