Even on uphill climbs the front end will stay grounded. There are some torque on the chassis but front and rear axles will stay grounded.
Thanks Mike.

This was the chassis I was talking about last summer in one our PMs to each other. I think its when you had a Losi tranny for sale

And again props to I.B. Racin, the man behind the myth.
Thanks Joseph. The rig may be partially dismantled again so I can lift it another 1/8 to a 1/4 inch after seeing yours clear the ledge we were climbing after last comp.

Ya know Mike, all this hype has me thinking about parking the springer for the next comp, the forced artic really shines on mono rock,

Nice job on the build thread


And in case ya forgot:

I'd even cut my hair And change my name

'Cause we all just wanna be big rockstars and
Live in hilltop houses driving fifteen cars"



You're the best Bro!

And maybe you could build another motor mount that would lay that motor down behind the axle all nice in low in stuff.Just some ideas to bounce off ya,be kind of a beotch to build but it would be coolness and nice and eavan low c.g.
Hey Mike.
You got me thinking of your ideas. I also have been wanting to build or purchase a tuber after seeing all these cool tubers popping up lately.
Then I thought.............hmmmm......what if I combine...............Ah an epiphany!
Now if I can only make it a reality. Well see.

I've run this rig since Oct 07 and haven't gotten any videos of it.
I will definately get someone to shoot vids of my runs this Saturday so I can post here.
If there is time after comp I hope to get a few comparison gate runs with the three Force 1 rigs and three 4linkers including my SW3 comp rig.
Hopefully the weather is on our side.

Thanks
Mike

Sorry bud, but there might only be 2 Force 1 trucks running at the comp.

A CVD exploded on my truck yesterday, so the W.K. may be out. I think I've found the parts, but won't know until Saturday. I'd be glad to help ya shoot vid if I can't get it running though.

Todd, I have WK parts if you need them, just dogbones and stubs though, no CVD's.

Thanks Nathan, I have my stock stuff as well, but I think Joe has what I need.

If I can't get it together, I will just run the AX10

I'm usually the vid man at our comps and its rare that my rigs get any vid time.
No vids at the last comp due to the terrain. But our next comp is this weekend. I hope to have someone capture vids of my rig.

Our winter series finale was last month. I finished 5th for the season with this chassis.
I'll be making a few changes in the power department by switching the tranny for a little more torque. But that won't happen till after this weekend.

Stay tuned.
