It'll look better when daylight hits and it's all OD green.

We're pulling our 2nd all-nighter in a row.

JIA< looks like a blast crawling with your pop, one question though...












Why are you a chrome dome but pops still got hair?

Looks like fun Jason. Just wish we lived a little closer. I would have been down for some crawling today. Pointes west is one of the nicest places I have been to crawl.

Hey JIA,
nice to see the rig was finally built and you Dad is able to run it as his first rig. You guy's did a great job getting the rig ready.

Stuck here in Boston for the weekend and can't wait to start re engineering my comp crawlers.

Take care,
Perry

Rebuilt Dad's tuber last night so we could hit the rocks today. Camera battery was near-dead so I didn't take but a handful of pictures.

Got some black rock rings from MSD and Hand Brothers. We painted the back side of each ring OD green.











Three locals that were interested in crawling came out today. Let'm drive the FJ and my Scorpion.

One of'm bought johnnearaugusta's P4.

Another has bought a Wheely King and made measurements of Ralph and Dad's tuber so he can get started on his crawler.

The third guy seems to be planning on buying a Wheely King for his build as well.

Looks like I got four people into crawling in the past week.

Perry, he read your post...He's in the garage now making the hump.

You'll do well at flying, just put a trash bag in the fuse of that plane so you have something to put all the bits in when you crash.


got rocks, Bad thing is...Dad can't tell the difference between the OD Green and the Desert Sand on my rig. He's color blind.

Looks like we're going crawling tomorrow morning - I think he's hooked.

Talking Great

Those trucks are awesome, I want one!!!!

Question: I may have missed this, but is that a reciever pack your Dad is running?
Is that for main power or something else?

Nitro, that's a ParkZone 8.4V 1000mAh pack.

He picked up a six cell 3300 tonight. I've ripped it apart and started reconstructing it to fit his truck.

ScGRaceR, that's four in the past week I've hooked on crawling.

Also got Perry (Canucksrc) hooked on flying after he watched me fly the Typhoon and upgraded C model Stryker.

Talking Run time

Did it work very well, how was the run time?
I was thinking of trying a Orion 1600 7.2 micro pack for a mini-t, but I didnt now if it would be enough.
