Good luck!
Thanks for the kind words. Too bad it didnt make into the running for
Crawler Build of 08'
.
I put this crawler build right up there with my very first E-Maxx build. Definately got the time and money in it as well. This 2 month build felt like 6 months because I really like to crawl ALOT!!
And my shafty was GONE!!!
Well guys, I took her to the first comp today. The only issue I had was mostly from what I was anticipating. Still need a more articulation with a softer sprung suspension. Not much though.
Got a good bit more tweaking to do but as I headed into Course #3 today I was 4th place with only consistent top finishers in front of me AND a couple behind me.
A couple of bad decisions and the limited articulation bit me pretty good on #3 and pissed me off pretty good. Although it was a tough course that many had trouble's with. I'm still waiting on overall results to be posted.
I'm also trying to convince myself I had a decent day and be happy that NOTHING broke and I didnt suck a$$ and finish at the tale end of the 20-man field.
Oh yeah, everytime I got on the rocks someone had something cool to say about, for lack of better term, how freakin good my rig looks.
So that was kinda nice.
