    Something compact and light. If your camping with us there should be plenty of table space. Something like this
    ALPS Mountaineering Folding Camping Table with Smooth Easy-to-Clean Roll Top and Sturdy and Lightweight Aluminum X Frame, Shoulder Carry Bag, Regular, Silver
    https://www.amazon.com/ALPS-Mountai...F8&qid=1521591058&sr=1-4&keywords=camp+tables is what I have and it works well. I still need to check if mines still solid after driving over it in its bag. :anonymous: I'm thinking I broke some of the plastic pcs that hold it together...

    Nothing special. I hadnt set it up and couldnt see where it was laying in the dark. Almost drove over all of my stuff but managed to only roll over the table. I barely felt it.

    I've got a 4ft table similar to that but havent taken it camping. I might start to use it if my other one is broken.

    I have one of these I use for a table, maybe try getting one of them. Not the cooler, the black thing, packs up well too

    I think we may have set a fastest time ever on the couple of trails we hit that you wanted to scope out prior to your guided run. Was a great warm-up.

    We should do timed runs. Start at wide spot between TTR and Arklatex camp, down Solihull and back up Louisiana Back Roads, no speeding on main roads, with a competitor riding bitch as camera/ref.

    Frank told me the secret to winning at RC is to let the fast people crash and cruise to the checkered flag.

    You still have to be quick but control is the name of the game. You don't have to make up time in the straights, if you don't lose time in the corners.

    Corners scare me more now that I decided to go no sway bar. Truck still handles surprisingly well as long as I dont jerk the wheel.

    Your coils might be too stiff, mine handles pretty well with no sway bar. I'd attempt the moose test.

    They might be, I also have pretty stiff shocks. It handled well on the drive to and from HF's. As long as I dont jerk the wheel left/right or vice versa its ok. When i do both like I wanted to dodge something it gets a little sketch but it may just feel that way since I'm adjusting to the change. Right now I would just drive straight into the moose and see what survives better. Guessing the Moose might be better off than my truck. I may try some softer coils and see how it feels. I know a guy willing to let me try them since he replaced his with Kings.

    If somebody brings a spring compressor to the next meet I'll bring my 887s and we'll swap them over.

    886s and a rental spring compressor was one of the worst decisions I've made.
