Yup, I got about 50-60 minutes yesterday. Totally worth it though. Derwood21 came out with a 5t puller and stock axial gearing. That thing FLEW on 11.1V's

How do you like the hammers? Are they any better on the terrain in jackson than say the badlands or claws?

Here are a few pics from last weekends comp. Tied for 2nd with Chino63, my brother from another mother

The badlands proved their ground against the claws out on the slick rock. Taking many of the top spots

If you dont mind telling, what weight shock oil did you end up using? I just picked up a pair of the MLST shocks for my BJ and i can tell just by compressing them with my hand that the oil is pretty thin, they rebound pretty fast. I was thinking about starting out with 40wt in the rear and 20wt in the front. Btw, your build looks really good, congrats on becoming a member of team RCC

Sheesh! Must have been quick too, badgers rock racer was a rocket with that motor in it.



I hope I kick some ass too Thanks, I was quite impressed with my fantabulous servo mount, I suprise myself sometimes.



How about some hammers!! I need to get these things mounted up on my mayhem beadlocks that just showed up. Engraved with TeamRCC

Yes I am at work...
Did you make them cool clamp mount thingys for your servo? I need to do something like that for mine.

They are made by Dace MFG. They are a local machine shop that has been supplying our lhs with custom parts for years. I am working very hard to get them to jump on the Crawler parts.

The servo clamps are sweet though, 7075 Al and nickel plated BLING
