The comp was last Sunday. I did pull off the 2.2 class victory, but it was only because I judged. This year we are rewarding judges with -10 to start the day in whichever class they want. It's a way to motivate people to step up and judge. No one else wanted the clipboard, so I grabbed it.

I should have a few full length SW3 skids for the AX10 in a couple days.

I know you're just playing.

Some of the local Colorado guys could give you a run.

I've been contemplating "lightening" my spare sw2 and sw3 chassis's up like that, but then they would have to go back to anno to get stealthed again.

I recently moved my lower links inside the chassis plates, and notched my skid to clear the Jato ends. I also had the move the links inside the TLT suspension stays at the axle, to eliminate some binding in the rod ends. Those that want to make this mod to the full length skid can do so fairly easily. Just notch the skid to clear the rod ends being used. Then drill and tap the lower link holes a little deeper.
