Congrats Shelby!!! You've had a helluva year! 2nd and ECC, and now 2nd at Nats. That's some killer driving. I guess Battlegrounds was just a fluke. |

| Thanks Carey! and Battlegrounds was a fluke. My flight was delayed, had no time to go over the car, and it broke on almost every course. Still got 4th even with all the breakage though. |

| I figured something was up for my half-assed, built the night before the comp, super to have beat ya. That place was rough on the Supers, though. I broke both lowers and 1 upper rear link on one of the courses there and then lost a servo in the finals. Had a blast crawlin' with you, though. |

Well to be honest they only have 7-8 courses through them at this point. So I need a bit more time to say on durability. But as far as performance, no question they rock. | |

Mann 2nds, 300 thirds. Gearing is up to you, motor, tires, and voltage come into play.

I just wanted to take this time to thank all of my sponsors! with their help, I was able to take second place at the 2011 Holmes Hobbies Rccrawler.com Nationals in the super class. Thank you Eddie for all the support, my 45 Turn brood motors have been big time performers. All the power and low speed control that Super class crawlers need! Thank you Eddie for all of the support! I had more traction than I knew what to do with. I was actually convinced I was getting to much traction until I ran the finals course! Your foams were in the top 3 Supers at nats, that should make it painfully obvious who produces the best foams on the market! Thank You John! It is so cool that you sponsored the 2011 Nationals! Your BRXL Controllers have been holding up to some serious abuse in this rig. Without the tuning options that you provide in these ESC's, this car would not work near as well as it does! Thank you William for all the support! RCBros continue's to be innovative in a highly competitive niche market! Not something easy to do. Thank you Jeremy for your support on and off the the rocks. Your chassis designs get me excited and inspired in my builds. And your driving skill pushes me to get better. Thank you all for everything, I could not have done it without the support that you provide me and the rest of the hobby! |

Well I had really neglected this rig after nats and it really showed in my crappy driving at ACC in January. But at least Doug and my wife got some cool pics! Jeremy's look of dissapointment. This truck needs a little rear suspension tuning and a lot of drive time before ECC. Last edited by 4xFord; 02-08-2012 at 01:07 PM. | |

Seeing as we tied, that must have been your worst driving ever lol It was cool to see your rig in action though, its pretty bad ass. |
