Default Who's gonna make it to Wrench Fest?

I just want to see who all plans to attend?
Anyone actually have broken rigs in need of repair?
Anyone else have stuff laying around they might want to swap?
Does anyone have a Super Rig build in progress?
Need parts for a Super build?

I've got a bunch of wheel adapters and misc clod parts, a couple of ESC's, and a few other goodies I plan to bring.

I definitely have some tuning to do also, thinking we should setup a few gates, maybe compare COG with some sidehilling/climbs etc, when we get outdoors I think some people may be in trouble with their high COG. Looking forward to this weekend

I'm in for a mini comp
I can supply the laptop with the castle software that comes with the Mamba Max, but I'm not sure if it's the same software that's needed for your BEC, and I don't have the castle link.....

I need to talk rock fink out of that axial axle housing he has cause I got a broken one! oops I might want to sell off my PTI truck or swap for some other crawlin parts for my axial too? I sold my Junfac beadlocks and got a set of Moabs if anyone is lookin for a set?

I haven't got any extra wheels, I will be bringing some stuff for potential swapping though, several ESC's, bunch of stock Scorpion parts, punisher shaft, some clod parts etc.

You got it Matt, I will hold on to it for you. I bought two and then I found that the disconnect on my R2 won't allow the punisher to fit, so I have an extra one.
