Money money money! Haha.

Needs some front end weight!

 

Weather looks decent on sunday, anyone up for a crawl? I wanna check that oak point spot

 

Count me in. I'll bring my XV01 too. I need to try to dial in the stability control on the receiver.

I kept having issues with my hex adapters and wheel nuts loosening on the crawler, so got some new ones from Amazon. The adapters are 7mm thick, so it pushes the wheels out farther and might even help slightly with my side-hilling.

 

Does the spot have nice surface for xv running? How about for the bully?

 

There's a big gravel lot and some short grass where the boat trailers would be parked. More than enough space to get the rally cars up to top speed. As far as the bully, there are some bigger rocks and harder obstacles so I don't see any reason why you couldn't. It's all along the water, but not really any risk of dunking it unless you're really careless.

 

The water level at Murrell is back down some.

 

Pics of @ThorsTRD and I last nights crawl at Shaw’s. Had two sections, both were pretty cool. It ended up misting before the comp started, so the wet rock ended up making it challenging! Only made it through 8 gates (7 min time limit) on one and completed the other with 1:45 left. LOTS of reverse deductions lol. Won my class my default, as my competition (class 3) was a losi night crawler and his motor fried at the first gate lol. Nick prob would have done really well, but comp was over when he arrived. Winner of class 2 had a stock trx4 sport lmao.

 

Badass lookin course, pics added to site

 

What time you thinkin? Im open, have coords to the spot?

Oof, 56 min drive

 

Lets do 1pm, ill be up lil late tonight

 

Recently, I noticed that the body pins in the cage section of the Honcho were pulling through the lexan. I was trying to patch up the body and an idea came to me. Two well placed zip ties and no more pins needed in the back. I just pull the two front pins and the body hinges back. I should've done this a long time ago.

 

so im pretty sure the servo screw im using is wrong... not sure if that is what the issue is, or what if this may have caused the issue...

I'll be tempted to purchase the Proline Metric body when it comes time to replace the Honcho cab. All the accessory pieces would make it a $200-500 body, though.

 

500!!?!!???

 

It's actually more than that. The rear high clearance bumper with swingout is $123.99

 

That's just crazy. I cringe when I spend 50 on a crawler body and it gets smashed.

 

Do you even scale bro??

 

Nope, its about performance. I have a 1:1 scaler
