thanks to alot of help from RECON members and RCC members, i'm getting this BJ dialed in
this Beetle Juice is the first MOA attempt that has felt right


















We had some rain this morning, so the "Axial Super hero" pool filled up
"Welcome to the swim team"

Very nice looking crawler and a very nice crawl spot you got there too.

Sweet lookin' rig man and that course looks Killer as well too. How's it performing for ya? It looks to have a pretty dial'd in setup from the shots of the chassis.
I'm like'n them wheels too.

Thanks guys, the course is great when i don't feel like leaving the house
the only thing i want to change, is the receiver, i'm going to lower it.

there is a crawl spot that's close to my house. i'm going to try some lines we always make and be sure it still does those & hopefully a few a had trouble with before
I will post pics of those tomorrow as well, it's a great little spot

I didn't notice you put DH's on it. So how did you do at the comp with the new chassis? I think it is time to do the ripper777 steering. Without a hood to cover that servo i would think it will get cought when up side down? I am going to be turning my rear axles down soon. If they come out good i could do yours also, if you want?

Good luck at the comp this weekend. I am geting tattooed in San Fransico on sat so i will miss it.

nice lookin bullyjuice. i know my bullyjuice suprises me with some of the lines i can pull off.
i wish i had a crawler corse like that in my yard. looks like fun.

[prusik333]

Well i can pull off the same lines as before and one more i had problems with. the other 3 no can do??? It acts like it needs more weight on the front end......i read on hear somewhere to move the rear upper links on the chassis up? or down? i think its down one hole (correct me if i'm wrong)

here are a few pics


this pic & the next pic....was a no go, i know it can be done, we have done it before
the second pic, gets hard once the drivers side gets on that rock in front of it, then it doesn't side hill, i might have to lower it a bit????






This line i can pull off now, without a problem










put up a small video
