Default National Comp Rigs.......

I saw alot of really cool rigs at the Nationals. I know most people kept their builds under wraps until the event, but it's time to post them up.

I've had a few people ask for pics of my 2.2 rig, as well as the Super. Both are SW2 chassis', but I did mill quite a bit off the 2.2's chassis.

2.2 rig...........1st place in the 2.2 Class
SW2 chassis
TLT axles
Outrunner Revolver motor 15t pinion
Mamba 25 esc
Hitec 645mg
HPI wheels
Proline 2.2 Mashers/frankensteined M3 Pro-line Gladiators
Stampede tranny 84t spur
12 1/2" wheelbase
HPI Baja Bug body

Super rig...........3rd place in the Super Class
SW2 chassis
Clod axles
Integy 55t motors (10 pinion front, 9t rear)
Tekin Rebel 2
Two Hitec 945mg servos
Modified Traxxas TQ-3 radio
Pro-Line Commando beadlock wheels
Pro-Line 40 Series Moab XL tires
17 3/4" wheelbase
Pro-Line Rock Pleazer body

Brad, I know what you are trying to do, and it isn't going to work. No matter how many times you ask I am not giving you body off shots of DirkZilla.

Just so everyone knows, I used DirkZilla to help Bastard setup the finals course. DirkZilla finished the course with a score of 17. Not one 2.2 or supercrawler finished the finals course.

DirkZilla owns all.

Wow, I'm surprised the cut up side didn't move too much. Simply amazing!

Damn it!! You're too smart for me.

Nickel, I did add the brace to the top of the frame. I was getting a little flex, but it was barely noticable. I tumbled down a huge rock wall yesterday with it. I only broke outer axles.

Specs are:
Grounder chassis
TLT axles, locked with bearings
Front dig with hi tec servo
Outrunner Revolver motor 12t pinion
Quark 33 esc
JR 9000 ZT servo, 330oz
Proline 2.2 Mashers/ duratrax maxium st wheels double narrowed
Hand bros scaler rock rings
Stampede tranny 84t spur
12 1/2" wheelbase
Proline disco'd CJ-8






and here it is at Moab.

Jason, maybe you should post Dirkzilla on Clodtalk to show them how a real crawler should work

I am so brain washed from my "1/10 off road" days!

Those connectors were always the first thing to get lopped off, then hard wired or Deans.

I guess they worked pretty good for you!

Looks cool. Kind of like the Terminator when he was blown apart.

With the low amperage draw of crawling motors I too have found Tamiya connectors to work just fine. I have always used Tamiya connectors.

If anything, that chassis looks cool. I would be interested to see details of your dig setup

How'd that Quark treat you? I have both the Mamba and the Quark and I must say that the Quark throttle response is so much better (and quieter), it just about makes up for the slight reverse delay but I just don't know if I'd use it in a comp. It's easier to avoid a rollover with the zero delay on the Mamba.

Default CSR's #2 Super Class rig...

The rig I brought to the National's is the same rig I've ran all year in the SERCRC points series.
This rig started with a Stick chassis from The Crawler Store, a pair of locked Clodbuster axles, ThunderTech ajustable motor mounts, a pair a Integy 55 turn motors, 9T front/8T rear pinions. The front and rear Hitec HS5645MG servos get their juice from a Novak Super Rooster speed control, connected to three Team Orion 3000mah NiMH cells on each front knuckle with Deans Ultra plugs. The radio is a modified Traxxas TQ3. Tires are Proline 40-series Moabs on Proline Outback wheels w/Twisted Toys rockrings.

I'm kinda curious how many people were running brushless. I know Bender was running the Revolver in his 2.2 and I saw 'em in Kevin's Stick. From what I gather, quite a few people were running 'em just judging by the number of Holmes Hobbies stickers I've seen in the photos...

Alot. Like over 50% I would bet.

My ride...




The moabs didn't last very long. Ran them the first course then swapped to Mashers. Best move I made all day.

All the rigs at the Nats were killer.
Unimogger- your hand bros chassis is sweet. Looks well thought out.

First place in each class was powered by a Holmes Hobbies powerplant;)


Needless to say I ordered up a pair this morning.
