I'm bringin a bunch of spare schtuff I dont use so maybe we can make it into a swap meet too

A Berg is a MOA(motor on axle) rig. They are one of the top contenders for the cheaters that use that unconventional style rig. Big boys like their shafts, and some people like to get rid of their's Seriously though they really do crawl like mad with that low CG. You'll see him do things nobody else can(cough-unfortunately)

Yep just reglued my rims together, switched rear axles, glued two hexes in rims that spun. The upper links need replaced on the rear but don't want to do that tonight.

Eric what are you bringing down? I almost bought one of those 4x4 slashes what ever they are called. Also got my charger/lipo battery thing figured out. I needed an inline balencer for it. Had to order it, they had one earlier in the week but it sold this week. So I will be running old batteries this run not the new lipo's.

Swap meet now huh, I need to rent a U-hual.

Might be a dumb question as I have only been to mid america twice but are there any chairs? I am recovering from a broken foot, if I stand too long my foot swells up.

Thanks bubba.

Fixed it just got it done. Drove it around the living room, crawled up my wall and work boots. I think this is the first GTG I have precharged batteries, had to cycle most all of them to take a charge. That is why I said I needed new batts.

I would be happy to try it out for you. I am not sure it would be a good test though. My radio/receiver is acting suspect lately. My esc and motor are new though. If you think the issue has to do with your ESC you are welcome to hook up your servo and receiver to my ESC and test. Mike

PS That is the servo I have on order. I hear it's a nice one.

I was there... from about 12:00 to 1:30. Unfortunately I never even got my Creeper out of the trunk. I spent the whole time helping my kids with the Losi Mini T I bought them today at the shop. Maybe next time I will actually get to do some crawling. I did see quite a few guys running their crawlers. Looked like a good turn out. Mike
