If that first gate wasnt so dam hard for non dig/BL rigs I would have got negative something!

Red Rockcrawler · 04-01-2007, 05:50 PM

How can you say that we had 2 dig rig and 4 brushless rigs. 2 dig scored low and 1 brushless. So I don't think that was the problem.

TLTCrawlin · 04-01-2007, 06:05 PM

Im not making excuses but the only ones to complete the first gate were dig or brushless, am I right?

Tanis · 04-01-2007, 06:15 PM

The first gate or course? I preran both courses with Britt's truck before everyone got there, when I was setting them up, and I only had 3 reverses on both courses with her truck, and her truck doesn't have dig or brushless

Now look at her score, much higher. It's mostly about driver, not truck setup.

Now let Grover drive any truck on those courses, he would have gotten negative scores on both.

Great to meet everybody I hadn't met before, and to crawl with everybody I knew again. Weather cooperated this time, and it was a good day all around. Thanks to all who showed up, hope it was fun, even though the courses were a little tough for the first time,

that only makes better drivers in the future

Looking forward to the next one.

I found out two things that were wrong (not serious but caused me alot of REV points)

Front axle clocked=steering wasnt good at ALL if you noticed LOL

Front shocks are 3.5" shortened and had 4" springs and were very stiff.

I am going to get some clocked C axles.

Dont get me wrong I HAD ALOT of fun. My dad said he was proud of me to get it running in one day, and do so well with no testing or tuning.

Nathan do you have any days off? Its spring break I want to take small groups all week/weekend to crawl. LMK

Tanis · 04-01-2007, 06:33 PM

Spence, you did very well today for the first run on the truck. With some tuning, it will perform better for you.

I also noticed the stiffness of the suspension.
I won't have any days off until saturday, as we are doing a basement house right now, but I might be able to gtg sat, if it's cool with my wife.

Red Rockcrawler · 04-01-2007, 07:21 PM

Oh to be young and get a week off in spring time.

Tanis · 04-01-2007, 07:52 PM

Here's the pics I got.

Mike I love these 2. You know you have wheeling skills if you can wheel a geo metro.

TLTCrawlin · 04-01-2007, 07:53 PM

lol, thanks nathan

LIKES2CRAWL · 04-01-2007, 07:53 PM

Ahhhhhh SHIZZZZZ Spency is making excuses already!

J/K Lil' Man it did good for not being tuned but you can't be blaming the gate on Dig/BL rigs, Mike was running a 12"WB and he didn't need dig for that gate, If anything you should be blaming your non-tuned rig.

rogue670 · 04-01-2007, 07:54 PM

Man I had a great time today! Now we will have to get everyone up this way and have a comp. Overall I thought everyone did really well for as hard as the courses were. MARK!! DITCH THOSE LST'S MAN!!! lol Can't wait to get my 2.2 up and running. Great meeting everyone that I didn't know.

Red Rockcrawler · 04-01-2007, 08:28 PM

TLTCrawlin · 04-01-2007, 08:33 PM

Red Rockcrawler · 04-01-2007, 09:23 PM

I posted up a vid of a spot in Yakima, for those who haven't seen what the rocks in Yakima are like.
