Have you ran into any problem with the chassis as you have been running it.
I figured if Destroyer hasn't destroyed it then thats a good sign.

The first 2 pics, are the first 2 gates... Hard left!
The next 4 pics, is what happened to, "most".

That first gate was pretty tricky. I set the truck up so the it was at an angle through gate 1, and then just walked up the ledge and through 2 on a diagonal. Stability was key.


No problems to report of the chassis yet...It's holding up well, especially considering my driving style and not-so-light truck.

Thanks man!

I'm making a new video...hope to have it done this weekend. Should be a bit better than the last one- it was only for testing/evaluation purposes.

Default Edited... Now, w/ correct Link.

From the Buford Dam Buster II Comp:















Here is a vid that cuts out after ~2 minutes. (sorry if I'm stepping on any toes!)

It shows this sequence of pics at least...

Alot of people had trouble w/ gate #2.

My N.N. went up it, w/ the same ease... Then, I decided I needed 40 pts. real quick...
