I got 6th in C1 with Melons.
I think I had 2nd without scale points.

Got like 17th in C2, had 2 repairs on course... winch line got bound up.
Turned out my little guide eyelet was turned just a hair and led my line off course.

Hera blew up. DNF'd. I think I toasted my new MMP running on 4s in a balloon... haven't troubleshooted it yet.
Pre meltdown, she handled most of the obstacles pretty good.

Got my 4Runner back yesterday.
It does ride a bit rough with the HD setup but not bad... not as stiff as my WRX!
It's sitting a bit high in the rear without the hardtop on.
They said I can bring it back and remove a spring if they don't settle a bit.
So far, I love it!
Still gotta get the tires and wheels mounted.

yes, the new one.
IDK exactly what happened but when I touched the MMP through the balloon, it was really hot.
I kept loosing throttle but still had servos... thermal shutdown?

That motor (Pro4 3000HD) is only rated to 2s and I was running it on 4s... but I've read several accounts of people running that setup in Yeti's... I figured a low geared crawler wouldn't be a problem.

lol, at one point when the throttle died, I was just going back and forth with the trigger and all of a sudden it kicked back in and Hera literally jumped right up in the air about 1.5 feet and over the boundary without touching it!
The judges said "Well, you didn't hit the boundary so you can go all the way back around if ya want". It was pretty funny (and frustrating)

I ran my bronco as a c3 with 1.9's on it. Broke both cvd pins and a c hub.
Fixed it and finished.
Class 2 was cut short due to weather. And I broke a front diff before I could bash the body up too bad. Thankfully.
I was not quite ready to see that thing take the tumbles everyone was taking. It did ok. A bit top heavy and needs stiffer foams in the pits.
Was able to sell my c1 truck that I hated. Yay!
Got all kinds of stuff.
New vp chubs and lockouts, a servo winch, new gears for the jeep.
A new set of alum 2.2's for the bronco. Gonna run the 1.9 irocs on them.
Got a set of axial 8 holes with the small tsl's. Some scale junk. A very cool carbon pan car from way back in the day.
23$ could not say no.
And finnaly my raffle ticket # won me the super shafty mad force monster truck complete with a bomb proof trans.
All in all a great weekend with awesome people. Memories that will last for ever.
P

I didn't take any pics at the event.
I didn't even take a pic of Hera in completed form before tearing her down again.
