Another Winter Day in Kansas
 
I found another decent place to wheel just down the street from my house. It has rocks of all sizes, a little water and some dirt.

sweet pics, defenantly looks like a good spot to crawl. id love to find something like that near me.

Great looking truck and a really nice spot to play "thumbsup". You're lucky, everything here is buried in snow. It'll be months before I see any rocks. That rig has come along way since I first saw it, very nice!

Thanks guys!!

TrailDawg - I can thank Mitch and in some part you (because you helped Mitch get hooked) for getting me addicted to this crawling/trail riding thing. I honestly didn't think I would have so much fun going slow but it is a blast looking at a group of rocks and thinking "Hmmm, can I get over those?". I just need it to warm up a bit.

Nice photos!

Can you post a picture og the car withou the body mounted? What type og chassis is it?

04Xterra 01-26-2009 12:37 PM

I will take some body off shots tonight. The specs are:

WK drive train
MFM chassis
Yeah Racing 80mm shocks
Stock WK motor
Cheap Duratrax ESC
Cheap and weak Futaba servo
2.2 Flat Irons on cheap axial beadlocks

grizz 01-26-2009 01:30 PM

Wheels may be cheap but thats a good combo of them.

The layout is a bit nasty looking as I am still in the mock up/shake down stages of the build.

bigdodge88 01-27-2009 10:15 AM

Nice scenery and nice rig too.

Welcome to the addiction :). The MFM chassis is very versatile, no doubt you found that out (so many holes/options for mounting). I used the Axial battery plate laid cross-wise on the rails for my packs, works great. It got the CG a little lower. As for Mitch, haven't seen him in a while. I know he runs his crawler at Casper's, but I haven't made it there yet. I'm looking forward to some trail runs with him and Jason from HTO. Keep doing what you're doing, and have fun!

Still one of the nicest WK's I've seen in awhile. If you ever make it up this way, we need to hit some trails. Hopefully I can get some people together this summer for some informal fun-runs, I think it'd be a blast!

T.D.

04Xterra 02-02-2009 02:27 PM

My wife and I, with the new baby, may be up there in late June/early July. Mitch is working on getting a trail rig together. I'll be sure to bring the WK with if we make it up that way.
