|  TEAM TCS Driver in the spotlight - GATEKEEPER/Austin Dunn - www.TCScrawlers.com Team TCS driver Austin Dunn (A.K.A. Gatekeeper) Austin's Stats: 1st in 2008 Pro-Line Racing West Coast Crawler Challenge 1st in the 2.2 class - TCS Crawlers East Coast Championship 1st in the 2.2 class - 2008 Midwest 2.2 Indoor Challenge 1st in 2.2 class - 2007 Nationals 1st in the 2.2 class - 2007 West Coast championship  Biography: Austin Dunn A.K.A Gatekeeper, Born April 27, 1980 Location: Gadsden ,AL Interests: RC rock crawling, Rock climbing, Kayaking, Canoeing, Mountain biking Occupation: Welder, Fabricator How did you get into RC Rock crawling? Frankie Fountain introduced it to me in 2004 Favorite spot to crawl: Little Rock City, AL RC Crawler specifications: Berg Axle Based Truck: Berg axles GC2 chassis Castle Creations Mamba Max ESC Castle Creations CCBEC Holmes Hobbies 35 turn motors Hitec 5955 servo MaxAmps 1100 3S Lipo battery Losi Claws Vanquish Products Berg offset wheels Losi Grappler body Axial AX10 axles GC2 chassis Losi shocks Castle Creations Mamba Max ESC Castle Creations CCBEC Holmes Hobbies 35 turn motor Hitec 5955 servo MaxAmps 1100 3S Lipo battery Losi Claws Vanquish Products Revolver wheels Losi Grappler body Tamiya TLT Based Truck: Tamiya TLT axles GC1 chassis Traxxas Big Bore shocks Castle Creation Mamba Max ESC Common Sense BEC Integy 55 turn motor Hitec 5955 servo Thunder Power 1320 3S Lipo battery Losi Claws RC4WD wheels Losi Grappler body What products from TCS Crawlers do you use the most and would recommend/why? Mamba Max speed control. It is one of the best ESC because it is so adjustable; you can adjust your throttle curves so it starts out super smooth and can handle a 3-cell lipo which gives good wheel speed. I run a brushed motor, I prefer it over the brushless motor because it is so smooth at very low speeds. I like the new Losi Grappler body too, it's small and looks good. And the Losi Rock Claws are the best tires ever. The GC2 chassis because it works great in most all situations, it is very predictable.   Last edited by CristinaG; 07-14-2008 at 12:18 AM. |

| He represents himself and his amazing RC crawling accomplishments with great dignity and is open and willing to help others in a kind and friendly manner. There is nothing more you could ask of a Champion. |
