Well I took the Pimp with me to SoCal comp#5. I did not use it in the actual comp as I thought the familiarity with my previous vehicle would be better. I did not do as well as I thought I could so after the comp I decided to run the pimp threw the courses and give it a workout.

Low and be hold I practically halved my scores and managed to run one of the super courses with it. Next comp it's gonna be nothin but the slap in my arsenal. Now I have a month to dial it in.

Great work on the new and improved chassis.

The new pimp worked great yesterday... probably a good thing for the rest of us that you didn't run it in the comp :-P

They are available now I just havent started a new vendors thread I knew that the 2 or 3 beta testers were gonna have them in comps and I wanted to be sure thay would do as good as what I hoped before I dropped the bomp on the rest of the competition. Pm me for price and when you can have one in your hands.

Started noticin alot of flex in my steering comin from the plastic servo mounts I was usin so I made some new ones out of some alu. stock. Works great plenty of steerin now. Went on a test run and ended up strippin the servo. Also added some alu. steerin knuckles. The more you drive it the more predictable it becomes.



Hopin to through some axial beadlocks on here soon.



Can't wait till next comp.

The chassis has been workin great. Took it to the series final comp a couple of weeks ago. Only took 14th out of 42 but it was small stupid mistakes on my part. There was a bonus line about 25 ft straight up that it just walked. I will stick with it for a comp truck for sure. I am thinking of adding dig for the next series too, good times.

Still no axial beadlocks.:-(

I would still contact syco133, I know he was wanting to sell the rights but that's all I've heard.
