I have talked to several people at Losi - they want to release one, but Losi INC. has put the project on hold for now and said no go on any crawlers at this point.

So what is ithe final deal, are we meeting at HT and then heading to Gerame's place or just straight to Gerame's? I ask because the info I posted in lincoln tells people to meet at the plex at 1:30.

Also if anyone needs a ride from Lincoln to Omaha Vishal will not be in attendance but I can haul two plus me in the Saturn.

I was at HT earlier, yuck. It is an f'en soup bowl. I when out with Alex to look at where the course will be moved to and was a little scared to even step of the curb. I honestly think sinking up to our ass's in mud would do very little as far as having fun.


I will be back online in the morning, we will have a better idea by then.

Okay guys, what do you want to do? I just got off the phone with Gerame and we're trying to figure out a plan for today.

BTW, my 2 1/2 year old may be coming with me, depending on where we end up going.

So somebody else bring their kid to help keep her entertained. Otherwise I'm gonna spend all my time chasing her instead of crawling.

That WAS cool. I just wish I could have finished my run... I really need to invest in more than one battery.

I think I could have made it all the way... the hard parts were at the beginning. And I basically forgot I had the winch at the beginning... I probably could have made it over the ugly part at the first gate if I had used it... but oh, well.


I'm working on editing the video now, but there's LOTS of work to do to it.

I REALLY need to build a new rig, though. The more I drive the Gremmie the more convinced I am that it's a complete POS.

Here's the pics I got, sorry I didn't get any more than this... But the video will more than make up for it.









This is a classic... notice that the rear of the truck is hanging out in space....

Well darn, wish I could have been there with everyone. Wish I would have got the memo sooner that everyone was meeting at Gerame's first. O well I had fun by myself.

But I was able to run an entire 1 1/2 hours on one battery, that was impressive.

Right at that point I was talking to Jay about having all of us posing that way. Damn hidden cameras.

Couple more pictures...








This is an AWESOME shot I think. I just stuck the camera down in the rocks and pushed the button.










Jay's amazing balancing act. This shot was driven into....not out of though
