very sick build you have going

Thank you sir :smile:

Wow Doug,

I have not checked in in awhile. Very Nice! I have booked marked the thread as a reference for when I get the balls to try this.

Mark

Finally got to crawl this thing a little with the Rockshow chassis, shorter shocks, and 11.1v of Lipo power. :yes:

Pretty happy with the performance on the rocks so far. Need to tweak the foam a little. The extra wheel speed was nice too.

Berg axles, 45t's, and the 13t pinion's will be a nice add-on in the next 10 days or so. Waiting on the lockouts still though.

Get to practice again one night this week too.......WooHoo!!!!! :mdr:

WOW!!! Longtime no post. Even since the addition of Berg axles. :oops:

Alot has happened/changed since then. But anyway..................

This is the newer V2 RockShow chassis (white delrin) that I should be using soon.

Wonder if I should dye it or not?

Of course, that's my V1 Rockshow with the yellow panels in the background.

*********

I kind of like it white. Its different and will be unique compared to others.

Whats the difference between the two chassis besides the color ?.

The cab, so to speak, is 3" wide and a separate part of the chassis. Sets on the outside of the sideplates. The V1 has just the 2 sideplates, with 2 small bumpers to push the width to 3".

The V2 is not so attractive either. :oops:

Dome on the roof is the key to help with rollovers

Yes, I am very interested to try out the dome in the roofline now. It is no BeetleJuice but it rocks pretty darn good on the workbench. :yes:

Just got a new Tekin FXR to try out. Had nothing but MM's in all my crawler since I started. Somewhat impressed with how small it is. Interested too see how well the drag brake holds.

And I should have said the cab is 3" wide at the base when it is spaced and mounted to the sideplates. It is 2 1/2" at the top. You can see the 2 delrin spacers bowing down slightly as they are pulled together.

I've been thinking about going with even shorter shocks. These chassis' really like that. But going much shorter may be too short. I'm running 80mm shocks now. Add Punk R/C dig and CDW OTA steering & she should be squared away.


While all this is in limbo. I have been crawling my Kamikaze Zero-T Berg. And I like it ALOT so far. :gasp:

I'll try and get some non-poser shot's in TN this weekend at Southern Cup. It's gonna be my first big event. :party:

And maybe some Vanquish SLW wheels :yes:

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...lw20120web.jpg

Those are quiet possibly the best looking crawler wheels I have seen. Should look awesome on there.

So I picked up a Mayhem Eng. sponsorship and will be running Dan's wheels.




I picked up set of used Mayhem 7's and then I have a set of Ultimate Comp Wheels (UCW) with delrin rings coming from Mayhem Eng.

Gonna run the new Panther Leopard tire's on the UCW's w/ 2-stage foams.

Didnt get any pic's at Cup. Too busy driving. Got some from the Bullhole practice though.

Fall Series starts in 2 weeks. :party:

Wish me luck. :yes:

I'm running the T1E moon buggy at the moment - I met all the VP guys in Donner, CA when I went to the worlds - They do some really nice work. I got from the LCQ into the main event but had some challenges in the finals...

I have a few nice builds in the works for the next RC-Crawler specials I don't think you'll be disappointed when you see what's going into them... All three are showcase builds...

Well if you met Tom & Steve I'm sure Silas & RockShow Mike werent too far behind. Really good guys.

I had no idea you were into crawling to the extent that you are. :oops:

Hell yeah - Up to getting 2nds now in my NJ club... This is my moonbuggy...

Silas and VP are hooking my up with some goodies for an RCDRiver review :)

I have a fair amount going into a rebuild this week...

New shock setup this was just to get me running - 88mm shocks with RPM adjustable pistons / losi golds
CKRC steering setup
VP DH/SLW wheels

PS in Charlotte Wed -> Friday!

Damn, just stumbled upon this. What's going on in Charlotte?

The 88mm shocks should do very nicely. I always thought just a tad shorter than 90mm would be just about right.

You're gonna like the wheels alot too.

A local bud just set his new rig up with the CKRC steering. I'll see that Saturday at our Fall Series comp.

Thanks for the pic's too. How are you liking the high rise links? Enough to notice a big difference? Looking forward to seeing the rebuild. :yes:

Oh Yeah, I Made Final's
 

Took my RockShow Berg to her first finals appearance this weekend. :party:

Had my stuff together but still kinda took me by surprise........literally :whistle:

Put myself on the podium in 3rd........Wow, I'm still in shock.

http://i161.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/DSCN2852.jpg

Nice one - PS you might want to try changing shocks - the T1E's are designed for 3.5 shocks... the tip I had from silas was to use purple dual stage RPM inserts (mounted upside down), with losi gold springs and 35W... I used the 88mm MSR11s...

http://i168.photobucket.com/albums/u...P/0c588af5.jpg

PS I'm in charlotte every month if you are around!

Yeah, I definately know that the shorter 90mm shocks is the hot setup per team drivers. My driving style tends to lend itself to a more flexible setup so I have played with laying down the 4" Losi shocks more. RCC Harvo still seems to be happy running 4" Losi's and we trade setup tips from time to time. I'm still questioning if I need to go to the shorter shocks. It's always in the back of my mind.

Are you running the Super 300's? You've got "mad" steering throw.

Got a link to the MSR11's?

PS thought you might like the wheels...

PPS See if you can get Silas to make you these links :)
