I think that sometimes we're just having too much fun!

This is a great idea instead of mine I would be perfectly fine with this. I myself was distracted and I was surprised that I even placed in the top 3 let alone 1st. My friend is building his truck up (northsydryd) after a double dnf and going back to brushed . Axial is replacing the second broken C-hub.

So the both of use hope to come back Fri. the 18th (if I don't have to work mandatory OT).

And thanks again for the friendly hospitality.

And everyone bring there "A" game.

Looks like a good turnout for the sportmans class, and close competition. I'm not sure now if I will be able to make the 18th either.

[TrailDawg362]

We used to draw numbers for starting position before and it worked well.

I think we should go back to judging the next run after you finish yours, that way nobody gets stuck doing it all night. You do your turn on the course, put your truck down and grab the clipboard and the next persons score sheet. Not sure why we stopped. Just a few simple rules to keep it fair, fun, and moving along.

1)Yes

2) No

3) Shut the hell up Traildawg!

number1 and number 3

To keep things moving & consistant alot of the times Stinkky & myself have judged alot of events.

Alot of other members have been stepping up learning & doing more of the judgeing. When we constantly switch every driver there are alot more error's in the score cards.

Bottom line is the Judge has the Final call... If you have an Issue it's up to YOU to call time-out & deal w/what-ever is going on. When you are done w/your run and walk away you are done.(period)

[northsydryd]

im only switching back to my brushed system cuz i think the 17.5 on a 2cell lipo had to much wheel spin,and that part of what broke my truck.hell i broke it 3 times,twice was while dicken around.i bought an ax10 and it should be here this week end,mabe monday. either way il have somthing to run im sure.see you guys next time

[TrailDawg362]

Glad to hear you didn't get too discouraged with your bad luck streak, it can be frustrating .

Looking forward to the next comp, maybe we'll have time enough to run a trail truck course or two!

[northsydryd]

$5??? I have $50 in transmission gears from my last breakage...

[kasper]

I thought he left out a few zeros and a decimal point and a few more zeros

[northsydryd]

no my creeper might be a pos,but it hasnt broken anything to expensive yet.im cool with staying around the $5 mark.lol.the little axle pin falling out and breaking the c hubs is the only problem iv had with it while driving.
other then that the only other problem it had was when i sold it.the guy i sold it to managed to tear the tranny gears out of it,and even that was only like 13 bucks or somthing like that.
i like my creeper other then the axle pin problem

[Super]

My son has a creeper and we had the same problem. Use a piece of heat shrink to hold the pin in. It's been over a year now and it's still good.

[Wicked Klown]

To keep my pins in place, I use Paradox Pin Lox. Little piece of brass that slides right over the pins and can't fall off. Paid $10 shipped for a set of 6. If I look around I might be able to find a set of four here. I went with a set of HR lockouts and removed the pin lox I had there. If anyone would need a set.

[TrailDawg362]

Another comp at Hobbytown, March 18th. Get ready!

[Wicked Klown]

I'll be getting there around 4pm, won't be able to stay for the comp tho.
