I will try real hard and be there. I can make this happen, just might be a little late, like 10:00am.

do you have an address for the park?

Well I lost my debit and the bank is closed for getting cash
I got dogged on a buyer for the bender today for cash money so I have no travel funds.

This sucks, I have money, but can't get it. ???? sounds wierd huh.

Edit: Well I thought about it and the only way to fix this is to go rain crawling myself. I have a kick ass idea anyway I want to try out and I can't wait for sun.

Today, was... well, wet. The fall season is here and in traditional PNW style it was wet and rainy. Did that stop us die-hard crawlers? NO! Just take some extra time to cover the esc and have at it



First test run for the RCRockGear Maxx Crawler Kit and it worked very, very well. This thing flew over stuff that would snag everyother rig. With 5" of under diff clearance it takes a BIG rock to stop it






This little rock was tough... out of the 5 trucks to try it only 2 made it up and over with ease, one winched and the other two just couldn't cut it...





Winch test... This little winch was powerful enough to not only pull the truck up and over the rock but also drag the 'Tot backwards














The wet weather rigs...




The 'Tot dropping down a nice ledge with ease....








Passing on the left, coming through




Almost to the rock....






Testing some cut K-Rocks....







Makin' tracks...






Bad upper link mount due to last minute work. A crack sound was heard... axle rotated forward but it kept on going

Wet rocks get slick. Some rocks turn into a slip'n'slide. I like the wet ground better as it's more real for me. Here in the PNW the ground is wet a lot, so might as well enjoy it.

Makes for great practice!!! dry is way easyer.


Toyo, I wish I was there, I made some awsome waterfall stye lines and took out the rear drive on the tranny!!! The lines with your truck would be easy, but a 2.2 wheel rig they are insane but doable some day.

I am getting a big truck within the week, what do you suggest, I am thinking twin force. That assie rig is awsome too. :?

Pics look great as usual.

The 5" of ground clearance on the maxx crawler kit is insane. That thing should never get hung up. I'm even having a hard time finding a rock to stop my rig with only 4in of ground clearance.

Buy waterproof servos Well, the one up front is watertight/proof and the rear is really resistant to water entering.

Never an issue. Living in the PNW you have to go prepared :P
