It's totally ok, everyone was a noob at one point, you have to start somewhere.
Myself as well as everyone there will be more than willing to help you with anything to ensure you have a good time.

What part of VA do you live in?

Since it's free to enter there's no reason not to give it a try. Come on out and meet some fellow crawlers, give the courses your best shot and just have some fun. You can also learn tons by watching how everybody takes the same obstacles different ways with different driving styles. It will help give you ideas as you figure what you like and works best for your truck in different situations.

Well said Devious, come one come all there is fun to be had!

Kbrog and I will be down at FHP this Saturday at 9:00am prepping for the comp the following Saturday, anyone else feel free to join us.

Thanks... I am about an hour south of richmond in Nottoway County...

On a side note I seemed to have messed up the "dig" (I think it's called that) on my rig... I just made it all time 4 wheel drive because I can't get the servo set right... if I came you think someone could help me look at it?

Love to get it fixed before then but if not anytime would be great

Yes we could take a look at it, which dig unit do you have?

[GOSKN5]

That might not be the correct term.for what I have... it's a servo that reacts to a switch on my controller... up is 2 wheel drive down is 4 wheel drive... the servo moves an arm which moves the rod in or out... I took the horn off to clean around and put some grease... I cannot for the life of.me get it lined back up and working correctly... and I'm pretty clueless all together about these things. . Still learning...

When its in 2wd do the front tires spin under throttle and the rears lock or free wheel when it worked properly?

If the rears locked thats dig, if they just free wheeled your not missing much and I'd keep it in 4wd.

[GOSKN5]

If it's in 2 wheel drive only the back wheels spin.. the fronts dont... basically the same as a real truck... I have it.locked in 4 wheel now..

[ROWDY RACING]

Gotcha, your better off in 4wd, I can't think of any circumstance you would want rear wheel drive only, except for the realistic characteristics.

Oh yeah!! Can't wait till KOFHP gonna be great! Should we be waterproofed or are you guys keeping it mostly on the rocks?

I would be at least splash proof, I plan to keep any water or mud "scale" no rig that stays on course should get fully submerged, but 1/2 way up a 1.9 tire may happen briefly here and there. I don't want to see anyone ruin their rides and will keep that in mind when building courses.
