Hello,
Been researching the site for awhile now, didnt want to dive in a$$ deep without knowing what the community is like. I've only been in Rc for around a year. I own a shop callled Griffon Racing and I biult and raced quads semi pro for 4 yrs and ended up in the last crash with a few broken ribs. During recovery time I met a guy at the track who had a nitro truck. Not even sure what it was, but it inspired me to go buy one myself. Long story short, I biult a killer HPI MT Racer of all things and still own and race it today.
One day while watching Spike and Extreme 4X4, they were working on the black widow rock crawler. I thought man I could biuld something like that. Well, 163 hrs of labor later, my first crawler, a full tube chassis was done and R&D was taking shape. I wasnt real sure what tires I needed to run, so I starting surfering the net. Thats when I found this site and found out that I wasnt the first guy to think of this, (dam I could have made a fortune). Since then, I have been reading and looking at the biulds, I am very happy to say, my truck is very close to unique. I havent seen anything exactly like mine and that really surprises me. Anyhow, thats who I am and I live in Hershey NE. Not the most rock filled part of the country for sure, but there are plenty of concrete piles. I documented my biuld all the way through, and I'll be posting it up in the next few weeks if anyone wants to see it. I still need to pay my membership and learn the posting tricks, but I'm getting there.
