Another great G6!!! Thanks to you Parker, and your blimp headed sidekick B-rad for putting on a spectacular event. Now that I have a better understanding of "Parker time". I am looking into a more modern sun dial to calculate what 8am means As for this challenge, I brought two G6 virgins with me, Chris and my father in-law Rhett. Both guys had a great time, but not without incident. Chris burned up his three day old motor and Rhett fried his esc. Now before this event, Rhett had about 30 minutes of run time on his Honcho, straight out of the box and even (Gasp) with the rubber bump stops in the shocks!!!, Even with this "disadvantage", Rhett was able to complete every stage on his first ever G6. I also wanted to thank Axial for providing spare parts at G-central, without the extra esc that Parker had, Rhett would have been out of the competition and sitting on the sidelines, instead of enjoying the second part of Jokers Wild. G6 is about the challenge and adventure of not only getting to the trail markers, but through them as well. Although not always easy, it is always FUN. Every G6er is there for a good time and the camaraderie of scale rc. So thank you again Axial for sponsoring this event, the time and effort put forth does not go unnoticed, and is greatly appreciated by all. Last edited by TREE; 08-03-2011 at 01:23 PM. |

Most G6'ers know that a real driver rocks 1.9 tires in a RECON G6 Challenge, but there are still those drivers who need scale training wheels or what I call 2.2 tires. The Joker's Wild G6 had a 2.2 G-Ride class and not to take anything away from these drivers, because they had to face the same gruelling stages and even their own mandatory skill section witch played very tough. There was a buzz around G-Central that the Axial Wraith may have it's own G-Ride class soon and a what a Wraith wants; a Wraith may very well get! Congratulations to all the 2.2 G-Ride drivers. Each and everyone of you displayed a G-sense to finish, especially Big Joe Duckslayer who melted the windings in his motor during the G-Tug Sled pull and penalty winched his locked up Wraith across the Poly Performance finish line. Here are the podium finishers for the RECON G6 Challenge Joker's Wild; 1. Elio Dianda, Zonkered, Bronco'd out Axial Wraith..........2:45:39 2. Joe Donnel, BigJoeDuckslayer, Axial Wraith.................3:04:45 3. Richard SleJmar, hellbug, Axial Wraith........................3:55:01 Congratulations to our podium finishers and to the rest of the 2.2 G-Ride Drivers. More to come on our third place finisher, hellbug, there is more to this rookie G6'er than a podium finisher and you won't believe his story. |

| Ha Ha Parker But you guys know how the ladies feel about this subject. I will quote the hot, milfey, Extenze chick, "Size does matter" Besides, there are just too many trucks running around with little tiny tires, so some of us have to rock the monster treads Here, now isn't this better Last edited by Rig Rocker; 08-04-2011 at 11:08 AM. |
