Default My "Hybrid" 2.2 comp rig...

so after running my "shaved" SW2 chassis'ed rig at the las W. Pa. C. comp, i was fairly pleased with the results of how it rode, with the exception of it being a bit on the floppy side.

fast forward to last week...

i splurge and buy the last set of JJ grins, and bolt them up, placing my shocks more upright than they were. got rid of the flop, and once i figure out how to get my 50/50 revo shocks to be a lot softer, i think it will handle even better.

now as far as specs go, we all know what stuff goes into one of these, so here are the unique features:

-"shaved" SW2 chassis
- Double J grins
-50/50'ish revo shocks--using losi 25 weight oil, and an 18T front silver and blue spring inside, centering the piston. (sorry, at the moment, i forgot which spring is o which side of the pistons...)
-Parma Grasshopper body
-TCS BM-6 outrunner and Mamba maxx (as soon as i get threadlock and motivated enough to solder all my wires up...)

now for pics:

yeah, it's legal. really, it's no less than all the bug bodies out there

actually, it's probabally still well over 85% of the original body.

Sorry for the dumb question but where at are you running comps in Pa? Or even close to Pa because I would like to attend in the future and didn't know they had this in Pa

Thanks
