Chargerguy · 02-09-2008, 01:29 AM

Be there with a 2.2 axial, looks fun

Cosmo-Graphics · 02-09-2008, 08:16 AM

If I wasn't working today, I was going to make the trip up there. Oh well... maybe next time...

bigblazerboy · 02-09-2008, 01:54 PM

i had fun there, just wish i had my truck. saw a bruiser in real life and watched thornsteer bust a rear shaft while screwing around with the blazer

. next gtg i will have my wk

crawler king 17 · 02-09-2008, 03:10 PM

it was fun but i wish i would have locked diffs lol so i sucked but i did get to install my new motor and spur with pinion gears

Slyp Dawg · 02-09-2008, 03:51 PM

I had an absolute blast. I do wish I had either star cut the foams or just left them out completely, tho. traction on that wood ladder going up to the first obstacle was pathetic. when I saw the pics I thought the course was going to be easy. HELL NO! those grey obstacles are slick as all get out! get them rhino lined in grey!

crawler king 17 · 02-09-2008, 04:07 PM

slyp did you ever get in the 3rd round?

Slyp Dawg · 02-09-2008, 04:47 PM

sadly, no. the third round was just for the top 5 scoring people in the previous 2 rounds and I wasn't one of them. oh well. I did run the course they ran before and it was pretty challenging

crawler king 17 · 02-09-2008, 04:58 PM

you see the micros running?

WETODID · 02-09-2008, 05:28 PM

I too had a blast, sadly the 2.2 mudslingers were no match the the grey manmades. I did however take some serious notes and we will return with a better prepared rig. Although not bad for driving the truck only one time briefly before the comp.

Slyp Dawg · 02-09-2008, 05:57 PM

yea, I heard someone say that the sticky 2.2 slingers are the sh1t. I would definitely look into a TCS boomerang rear link mount and set it up with the right link under the plate and the left link above the plate in order to pretty much get rid of torque twist without having to play around with preload or spring rates. your rig looked to have a hell of a lot of torque twist. of course, as to not be hypocritical I should probably do that mod myself. my rig could probably use that mod and some shorter shocks and a little massaging done on the foams. and weighs in the wheels. the list goes on and on

yea, they zipped around a bit after the comp 2.2s were done running. I ran over the metallic red bodied one with my axial accidentally, and had the jeep bodied one run into my foot a few times

ouch that thing looked like it would have hurt.

Thorsteenster · 02-09-2008, 06:48 PM

I just got home, man it was a great time. The track and lay out were way better in person than the pics, way to go Hobby Town and Dave! I had a blast, it was nice meeting yall and seeing some again. Thanks Slyp for vid'ing Angry Squirrel, I'm going to do a little editing and get it posted tonight or in the morning.

Riffister · 02-09-2008, 07:45 PM

Thorsteenster · 02-10-2008, 07:01 AM

I'm not sure, but Riffister is the owner of the truck.

swell searcher · 02-10-2008, 07:39 AM

i hope everyone had a great time at the comp. i know i did. thanks to dave, mark, joe, and anyone else who helped organized the event. definitely need to keep this going.

sorry for the guys who waited for the 3rd 2.2 comp course, due to the time, we only had time to run the top 5. for the first organized comp for VARCOR, it went smooth. with a few tweaks, the next one with be smoother.
