DFW RC - Home of BYSRacing

Just the ones that this group is attending. I can probably find the event list posted for North TX Crawlers and DFW Crawlers and we can post it. I would only participate in the fun runs, though. The competition rules are too intense for me.

 

I won’t compete either. I just enjoy the courses they set up.

 

yeah ill post up info on post#1 on any event 1 or more of us will be attending. sometimes we have adhoc meetups but mostly they are scheduled.

 

How did everyone do on race night?

 

Myk is killing it. None our wheels fell off during the races that mattered, my new to me truck did well

 

Both trucks are back in the fold!, when is the next crawling event?

 

Nothing scheduled yet, this weekend is full of rain possibly.

 

Nutz, I'll have to wait it out then

 

Well, started on the next step on the crawler. Got a box of leftover random parts from a guy and it included a disassembled wraith chassis, missing a few parts, so instead of spending money on the parts and trying to sell it, decided to start chopping it up and figure out how to get it attached to the scx frame. Ended up drilling new holes in the frame, cutting some brake line to use as a spacer between wraith chassis and scx frame and screwed into some lower chassis rails on the wraith chassis. Prob add a couple more attachment points on the front and rear to make it more rigid, all around. Really like where this is going. Goal is to end up with a trail honcho cab, with full tube cage. At this point, I’m undecided if I want to go bedsides, honcho flat bed, make my own flat bed, or just run the tube rear with frame rails.... There’s still some tube work in the rear I’m not sure if I want to try and utilize or chop them off. Time will tell. (Couple before/after)

 

Might as well just buy bretts wraith and be done with it! haha

 

What’s the fun in that?

 

True i guess. I was looking at custom frame rails the other day. Basically allowed for longer shocks to be mounted but still cool.

 

Made my own upper shock towers. Running 5” shocks now. Still have some of the plastic left if anyone else wants to do the same.

 

Im pretty sure we had this discussion over text a while back

 

Oh yeah, I also cut about 9/16” off the front of the frame lol.

 

Anyone in the market for a soldering jig?

 

Race day is here

 

Race day is here again

 

Looks like rain will be gone sunday the 25th, most of us will be gone the following weekend.

Whos up for a crawl Sunday at Murrell?
