the metro rocks theres no doubt,didnt bang anything up under it,i checked it out when i got home.Was a great time,very cool to mett you spokane guys ya all got some sick trucks.I know this might be salt in the wounds spencer,but i to stayed up late to slap me rig to gether.Its not exactly what i want far as setup,for some reason my wheelbase came up real short it was just under 12" instead of the 121/2" that i prefer.SO I JUST LOWERED IT DOWN,since it was short,just thought it would work better that way.The dig was nice, i highly recomend it.And yes that gate youre refering to,i didnt use dig on that,it was more of a matter of crawling real slow and waiting for the tires to make the grab that i needed then hit the gas at that sweet spot ,thats what got me through that gate so clean.Nobodt likes a whiner.My advice to ya would be stick with a truck/design untill ya get to know it,youve switched trucks and designs everytime i see ya.how could anyone ever get to know the traite of the truck if you switch every month?youve got skills little man you just need more experience,and dont nock other rigs and drivers cause they got what you want dont make no sence.

Im not whinig, but I have NO wheel speed and just spun, I had no troubles rolling or flipping on that hill, I just sat there spinning.

Im running 55t with 15/87, 6c sub C pack and it goes like 3 mph tops!

I do switch rigs alot cuz im unhappy with em, now I got a rig that I like. I got alot of experience with chassis'. I love my setup right now, I just need to take off my tires and make cut foams. and do dig.

BTW I wasnt knocking anyone. You deserved 1st place, but it seems like a rig is most of the capablity.

A great driver+sucky truck does just as good as a noob with a real dig/bl low COG nice truck.

yup nathan did a sweet job on the gates it was a matter of an 1/8th of an inch wether you made that or not.Ive learned its mor about lines than setup,in rc or 1:1 you can make up for lack of other things with a perfect line or just some good luck.

Looking forward to it Chad. I'm sure Cory will put you on his list to PM.

There was a very wide variety of chassis designs and truck setups. It was cool to see different setups work the courses.

TLTCrawlin · 04-02-2007, 06:25 PM

Don't be abusing the Sonshine spot man, they are open during the week! The guy is kind enough to give Cory permission and Cory told him we would be good to his spot and not tear it up, so don't be ruining it for the rest of us. Do like the rest of us and go out and find new spots for some GTG.

The park down on the corner of 7th and Vancouver has some rocks go check it out.

TLTCrawlin · 04-02-2007, 06:55 PM

I wasnt going to tear it up or anything, and I forgot about them being open.

Red Rockcrawler · 04-02-2007, 06:58 PM

Yeah spencer they are open during the week. Idon't mind if run it on the weekend but not during the week when they have customers coming and going. Go to the park on 7th and vancouver. There's plenty rock there and nice lines to Run.

TLTCrawlin · 04-02-2007, 06:59 PM

Yeah I know I forgot about them being open and all.

Didn't say you were gonna tear it up just saying we have to be carefull for the plants and the water lines.

TLTCrawlin · 04-02-2007, 07:02 PM

I know. Did you see my drive? I was normal. I wasnt impatient, nor I wasnt patient.

MIKE has some insane patience, he creep no throttle up that deal!

That's why it's called CRAWLING!

Tanis · 04-02-2007, 07:10 PM

Yeah Spence, you think you have no wheelspeed, I should have let you drive Britt's truck, I have it so low geared and I have the throttle profile set up so you have to give it half throttle before the truck even moves

but that way you can just barely move the tires in those precarious places, lots of throttle control

If you do end up doing this Spence, narrow the wheels at the same time. I had never narrowed wheels before, and now that I have, I like what it does to the mashers.
I also only trimmed the foam with scissors, I also found out now, it works better with a sharp hobby knife, to get the star pattern.

Spencer you forgot about the bonus points for kicking your rig off the rocks.
