Well got the truck done..Put on RC4WD aluminum knuckles, and straight axle adaptors along with full bearings and tobbee 8mm wideners. Only thing I can see that I need to change is lifting the body... Sits a little too low and rubs... I dont really want to cut it up anymore.. But if I have to it will just be a show body... Im also just waiting on some softer springs... |

Twisted, yes the falcon was very simple to build.. The only thing I had to do was make some modifications to mount the R2 trans, had to shift the holes over just a bit to allow the drive shafts clearance from the sides of the chassis... Tomorrow night will be taking her out on the rocks for a test run... Should have some good pics and maybe even some vid of her in action posted up thursday night.. Keep your eyes open... |

Looks good. I was kinda keeping track, and on the first course you'd have pointed out. On the second you'd have had about a 22. Work on the backups, and you'll have a winner .

Your scoring and our scoring up here are very different... So maybe in your rules Id have bad points..

Do you guys go by USRCCA rules? That would be tough adapting if you ever attended the Nationals. How far are you from Seattle? You should try to make it to one of the WARCRC comps sometime (if it's not too far away) they're a great bunch of guys. I wasn't trying to be a smartass scoring your truck, I've just been bored the last few days, waiting for the comp next weekend . |
