I won't be at Mukilteo, but I am coming to your comp at Lucia, to test my truck against yours. I know the car will perform well, you built it guess I'll have to drive extra well if I want to beat it.:-P |

Sweet design, I really like like the finished panels you made up, really hides all of the wires and electronics.

That really looks good. How is the HS-81 holding up for a dig servo? |

Thanks desfan, I dont like it when the cab of a tuber has to be packed with wires. The Tekin FXR made everything fit Also haveing it all under lexan helps protect everything from water.Nova, I have been runnin the hs-81mg as a dig servo for a few years now and have had no problems with it on my dig setup. |

Ive had some time to run a few packs through it and i will drive this car before my Grounder. Same suspinsion setup as my old car with a beter CG and about 6oz more heft. The biggest improvement in performance was switching back to brushed, the biggest downfall is driveing out of a roll. Oh yea cant forget Tuber HCF (high cool factor) |

New Skins!  These tires proved unbeatable on the wet mossy rocks here in the PNW. They will be my tire of choice when runnin that kind of rock  Out of the package and on the wheels with no mods to the suplyed memory foam. Not only do they look killer these tires hook up  Ive only had a chance to runem on river rock so far and cant wait to try them at a couple differnt spots
