|  MMMM... Vanquish!
So my goodies arived this morning and I decided to be dumb and build it the night before our comp  Check out the sexyness. This 4-link crap will be a whole new world to me. Let's see how badly I fail tomorrow.   |

I think it needs to be mentioned that Chris WON the 2.2 Pro class! Drove great, and the truck simply walked most obstacles. Amazing to watch! Great work man!

Thanks guys! I am so happy with this truck it is crazy. I will post a few pics soon of some of the minor changes. This thing is un-real. I have been driving tortion for 90% of my RC Crawling Career, and I thought that they were super kick ass. But after driving this, I have established that I have just learned to drive poor handling trucks well, and now going to this is like a 200% improvement!!!!. Today I won our Wed night comps by 18 points. After I went and played around after and hit up my usual lines. All of my usual lines either take me forever to make or a few I have never made. I leterally walked ALL of em! Talk about an RC giving ya' a chubby!!! More to come. We will see how it does tomorrow night at SuperDave's!!!

So I finally was able to make some small detail changes. Hopefully this will be able to make this truck work better. Hopefully the front link adjustment will keep it from un-loading going up hills. I also added a front body post so the tarded body would stop flailing around. Also the rear uppers were bent stock axial links and the rod ends are ghey. So I put traxxas in and it is way tighter.       |
