Default Are your trucks ready for the new season?

Here is a list of things I still need to do before the new season starts....

2.2 Comp TLT
  • I added some more weight to the front wheels, need to balance the rears to match.
  • Need to installed a new Castle BEC, going to solder it directly to the Quark 33 esc.
  • Zip tie all the wires in place.
  • Replace any worn out tie rod ends.
  • Replace any worn out Nyloc nuts.

2.2 Comp Axial
  • Waiting on a set of Badland tires to mount up on the beadlocks.
  • Also waiting on a new set of RC4WD beadlocks and their Crazy Krawler tires.

Juggernaut (Super rig) is ready to rock, I might add some weight to the wheels.

Both my scalers need a lot of work right now, to many things to list. I hope to get the Jeep back in action by the end of the month.

I noticed a couple of screws stripping, not completely stripped in my aluminum R2D tranny. These need to be repaired, probably a new case. I'm dealing with that today.

I have Badlands and Hammers to mount as well as a set of Rock Claws on Mayhem Comp Double Phattys this is for testing and variety. (I have a set of Claws already mounted on Top Guns)

I have to put a small tool kit of basic tools together and organize my track box.

I have to slap Greg (Driver) around so he knows who's in charge.

No I'm waiting on my preorder from Rpp, I'm not a special important guy like miniballer.

My Comp Rig is ready, just need a second battery pack (and what ever breaks on the 6th)


The shelf queen needs a set of RC4WD Prowlers, LED's and the mini details


The Merc pick up still needs to be finished waiting on the tranny to get the chassis started

Ohh I should rebuild the shocks on my TLT gopher too.... They still leak 80wt oil, which is bad.

Could be that there are just more people like me out there... I will randomly pick up a package of them at the LHS, weather I need them or not....

Well my truck is new (AX 10)so it should be ready. I have done alot of mods to it and havn't even touched a rock with it yet. Am I nut's?

So far I have done the Boss setup (links to the inside, shocks out), TCS four link set up front and rear, TCS internal springs (Soft), outer springs (green) medium, TCS aluminum axle battery mounts, Solder wrap on the inside of the front rims, Trinity Foams 3 stage foams trimed, and TCS high clearence links.

For electronics I have the Novak Goat, 18.5 sintered system, Futaba 3PM 2.4 GHZ radio and receiver, and HiTec HS 645MG servo...

Do I need anything else I have two battery packs. Will that be enough

Ps, I hope the snow goes the heck away

Jeff

2 packs should be plenty. We normally only run 2 courses, and with the amount of new members there should be plenty of time to peak a pack between runs...... If your running sub"C" packs 2 will work no prob. I am only planning on 2 - 2/3A 1500 packs for the comp rig. It takes about 45-60 min to charge from dead...........

I'm running the same packs as you. 1, seven cell, and 1 six cell, 2/3 amp 1500NiMH split packs from TCS. I'm not sure what the run time is for them...What are using to charge your batt's out there?

I run the 8 cell packs, Crawlmaster 1000Kv BL and get about 15-20minutes runtime with a heavy finger

Ready for comp season? yeah right!
I still have to install the dig, when it comes, aluminum knuckles and C's, new ESC, then I'm close to ready. Scalers are coming along. Super needs a front axle rebuild. High lift is getting a rebuild now. Joe's new comp rig he finished last night. Yeah, I'll be ready
