She'll be piloting it at a comp tomorrow
Oh yea, looks good........I see the "STEALTH" too!

It's SUNDAY and I had a blast! But I think it's time to change some things, like going from my mamba 25 to a MM and trying some difrent motors, along with my SW3!

You guys had a comp?? right on!! I didn't see anything on line so I didn't know.

Tanis, that metallic red is nice huh, That is the color of my Super backed with white, and what is it with you and painting the windows?

The SW3 chassis just might be my next one for the winter series kick off, time will tell.

So do your wheels have vent holes drilled in them, or tires cut to breath?

On the ericksons, I drilled a couple holes, on the RC4WD ones, I leave 1 of the inside beadlock bolts out, works like a charm.

I can't tell you, it's a national secret JK, I run either losi yellows or rear Stampede blacks on the front, depending on where I am running, and I run the blue springs that come with the 120mm shocks I bought from Run2jeepn on the rear of the truck.
Here's a link to the shocks I run on the rear. Note that my chassis is a 60/40 setup, more to the front of the truck, so I use longer shocks on the rear.
I run 60wt oil most of the time.

Edit: Forgot the link to the shocks

New skidplates. Really smooth out the bottom of the crawler, and help it transition/slide over stuff much better. Thanks FinishLine.

Sweet! Hey, what is that on the right there------> is that a Losi? Do you have other RC's besides crawlers?

Well, the SW3 and I took 1st again today at our summer series finale(out of 60 or so 2.2's), and ended up 2nd overall for the series, with Britt finishing 10th overall with it, for the series, and she only ran 1 of 3 stages today, as she wanted to play with the other kids instead.
I installed an R2D tranny in, as my homemade dig setup quit working consistently, and I am very pleased with how it performed. I love this truck.

Congrats to you and Brit on your finishes. I'm glad the chassis is working good for you.
