i think we're gonna see some rigs that blow our minds... at least i hope so.

just got my dinky cheap seats! i might have time yet to get them switched out of the tf2 and wraith.

still waiting on my damn c.i. double dueces tho... i also ordered some spare gears and whatnots from them. hopefully that doesnt hold up the order.

if I could get her sand blasted I might... but I still don't have a paint scheme.
I do like the orange chassis with black panels idea though.

Just placed an order at RPP Pit Bull's, Snatch Block, Pull Pal, and Rhino Winch cable needed Forty Six dollars for free shipping but did not want to search for crap that I do not need so I placed the order then I checked the Winch on Ponch and it was DEAD! So now I have to place a order for a Winch. I am going with another Intgy at $59 that would have given me free shipping, trying to decide on getting 1.9 Gear Head Champ Wheels so that would give me FREE shipping.

Jason, I think I saw DD's in the BST if you cant wait or whatever.

Johnny, I can blast it.. I just need to get my hands on it first. I think it'll look good if you replace the panels with new ones.. Any paint scheme will be good.

Robert! Buy us all a nice gift! Save on shipping!

And yes.. I'm assuming there will be insane rigs above & beyond what I can imagine.

there is the jason mount and the dinky mount. dinky mount is cool but it changes the link geometry and kills alot of ground clearance.

and its made of aluminum... delrin would have been much slicker.

Ah dinky, well that's good to know.

I spent some coin on my rigs today! New VP XVD's for the JK and the Rock Rat, aluminum tranny case for the JK, new 600 SLW hubs to give the JK a wider stance...now if VP would just release that dang CMS truss I'd be set.

True...I need to go buy a saw so I can make a shorter link in the hotel parking lot. I need to make some for the dingo too. Ha I painted the dingo out in the parking lot on Sunday! People probably think I'm weird.

If I brought the chassis over Sat or Sun could you do it while I was there?

if you are gonna tear hera down, you should consider tacking some panel tabs or nuts on the roof.

So what does a sensor esc do if the sensor wire is bad ? I'm putting my wraith back together got everything hooked back up and now the truck will barely move and the esc gets really hot. I took it apart again took the motor out and everything moves smooth. The sensor wire seems questionable on the esc. Would this cause a lot of problems.

it'll just run like a regular, non sensored, motor.
Did it run ok before?
How does it run with sensor wire unplugged?
Do you have A plugged into A and B-B C-C?
