bad-1 should really know his points, its a shame because he has a bunch. frank and francisco as well, dunno if jose knew his.

i will 'point' out that you should list out hera's specific points in the thread and not just the total. we're all following the same basic format so you could just copy paste what applies, then as you add details you just add a line and description and update the total.

yup, agreed. I was on the crapper while I updated the post... I was going to detail them but I had to wipe

If I can get Hera running again, I'll update them.

HH is saying I should use the Pro.
Do you guys think Castle will help me out on any of this stuff or is it user error?

When I counted my scale points I counted 12 found out at the comp I was way off by 10 points I actually had over 20. This is the first time I use my scale points. But thanks for taking the time to look at my truck. Some points were questionable.

thanks, i was very happy with both my runs.

the c2 win was the cheater tires and an unbreakable drivetrain... timmy flat out works now. i was thinking there would be other people there with the cut and shut prolines.

c3 however was by far the best run at busse i've ever had.

I'll update the thread and mark my truck before the next event

I'll have my cut & shuts next time.. I ordered some of those 1.9 gearhead wheels that look like mini ez locs.

I need to do some touch up work on my tires. Where did you guys get your glue? I need some basic tire glue and also some filler type glue.

So I get 16 scale points just for leaf springs and transfer case even with a lexan body? (Don't yell at me) I will take the current points but I can add to them, correct?

Also, can people bring their class 1 rigs for the next event. Please?

Use this to add up your points.

It's a work in progress...points aren't locked. You add stuff...you get more points.

As I recall you have

CMS - 5
Leaf (front/rear) - 7
Transfer case - 4

Then you had some realistic exterior items that would add a few more points.

But yes, as you add more items to the vehicle, you would get more points.

I'll bring my C1 truck next time. I dont know if we'll have time to do a C1 competition though. C2 & C3 seem to be more important/competitive. We'll have to dona seperate day for C1 comps.

i'll bring both my c1 trucks. a little hesitant to run the tf2 until i get sliders and bumpers figured out, but the hilift is good to go.

i was thinking if we hit foster this weekend, other than running some trucks we could also map out our next foster course and discuss what we want to do for our first c1 event.
