VF dig rear steer, im not sure if i will do this, i know its not comp leagal but i tink it wouls be cool as hell. 3600MAH 7.2 i will prob go lipo once i get them and have the runnig good and a bunch of other crap...tires,ccbec,charger... so what does it take to keep up? is there anywhere good to wheel on the north side carmel/westfeild? -Ryan |

All you have to have as far as a rig goes is any tpe of crawler, an axial, losi, berg, venom creeper, anything. We are all just a bunch of big kids playing with toys and having a blast. Yes, some of us are better than others and some have nicer trucks but we are all just out to have fun, no one ever cares who wins, we all congradulate each other and we all have fun. We have a 2.2 comp class and a beginners sportsman class, the sporstman class is limited to shaft driven, 2 wheel steering, and no dig. Kind of an entry level class. Just come out tomorrow if you want and try it out! Ill have an extra truck to drive if you're interested. Jesse |
