Rock crawlers are now obsolete

[George16]

I have seen the KOH race. They are the tube buggies I had been saying.

Go to pirate 4 x 4 if you're not a member yet and see the ingenuity of the members there.

Oh by the way, where I came from, we were able to convert WWII Jeeps into one of the best forms of public transit.

Besides, I did not say it's the future of rock crawling. SOmebody else said that. Where were you when tube buggies started? Were you still in your diapers?

What's your forum name over at Pirate 4x4 connection?

Hilarious!! you all have valid points!!!

rock crawling isn't rock racing. they're both cool.

I have a PhD in pissing matches and y'all are ankle deep in one

Where did you purchase your pissing contest PHD Harold? I want to challenge that one. We have all gotten somewhat spun up in here from time to time. Things do get pretty funny in here some days. This all came about from the statement that this truck is not the future of rock crawling. How can you say such a thing? are you a prophit making predictions for the future of engineering? Or maybe one of the standing borad members who makes that decision. Don't get mad because someone questions your statements. Just provide facts to back them up. Otherwise maybe try to pre-read your posts and make sure of your wording unless you want to provoke this kind of reaction. Your arguing the point that this truck is not worthy, so how do you know this for a fact?

Thats exactly what I was thinking. You read my mind.

well, first it was about crawlers, then rock racing, then arguing, and now hilarity!!!

gtx is right, it would be a terrible rock racer

jerry and george are right, it could be a very capable crawler.

I'm just always right

NOW YOUR REALLY TRYING TO PISS US OFF. Don't you have some projects to go work on you trouble maker. Yes Harold your right as usual. Now go take off that dress and ship it back to James.

Ok, While K.O.H. is a cool event, it is not mainstream crawling, and I doubt if its the future of crawling/weekend warriors. It is what I would call the closest thing out there to what we try to simulate with our RC's though.

GTX, your mistake was calling the thing "useless". The logical folks (and very good readers by the way) here took that to mean what you said, not what you later said you intended.
Your exactly correct in that its weight (in its current stage of development)would likely kill it in a competition.

Useless in competition, taken out of context.

Who exactly are you arguing with? An invisible person....or what? Because you seem to be making this argument out of nothing, especially since I didn't say anything about tube buggies.

I'm on pirate Same name, since apparently you didn't try that.

And no, I wasn't in diapers, like that has anything to do with it since you were in diapers when the Model T was invented...or maybe you weren't around at all. I don't see how age has anything to do with it.

Can you answer this for me: Why exactly are you defending...whatever it is you're defending?

You're trying to imply whatever you think you have by stating that you're an engineering major prior to saying that this machine is not practical etc. My question about in diapers was stated for the same reason you stated your major in engineering. It has nothing to do with the discussion on hand. Can you see the logic now? If age has nothing to do with it, so is your engineering major. By the way, how much experience do you have in the field? What's your major since you seem to be flaunting that ?

I am also a member of Pirate 4x4, Outdoorwire, Tacomaterritory, and Yotatech but has not been active since being stationed here in Japan since October 2005.

Some of the ideas the builder used in this truck was rather revolutionary in a sense that it use processes that are already available. Like James, stated, I also would not agree with the chain drive and would have use hydraulics more than he did.

Harold, I'm still working towards my Ph.D. . I'll let you all know when I receive it.
