Thanks Matt, i still hear you saying "get on top of your truck, quit scrubbing the gates". Im a slow learner. And you can blame your results on me, your two for two"thumbsup"

[Cycleeric]

Which hubs are you using with the SLWs and Eriks weights? What's your track width up front/outside of the tires?

 

[Erik D_lux]

Rig looks good!

I dont know how it works but, it seems most get a sticker that works with their theme of the car. Thanks for running it!

Thank you sir, i need to start listening to a spotter more. "thumbsup"

I believe im running the 460 front/350 rear. Ill double check when i get home. Track width is 11" front 10 3/4" rear.

Edit: 460 dh hubs front 11" 335 dh hubs rear 10 1/2" rear. Going to get some 350 slw hubs for the rear to get it to 10 3/4.

Thanks Erik, I am going to get it on the rocks in the next couple of days. Im sure it will be a improvement over the wheel weights. I already notice more wheel speed, just around the house."thumbsup" Im still deciding on how much weight to bolt on? Right now i have the knuckle and 1 .300 ring. I think i might put 1 .100 ring on also. And start from there. And yes the sticker matches pretty well, thanks again.

 

[billj]

Got some 35t Broods, thanks EddieO"thumbsup"

 

[vodka child]

Ah man you'll love these motors! Got a matched set and was blown away when by them, just awesome

I have a set of matched 40's right now. Just thought i would try what the big boys use:lmao: My son will get the 40's. Brood motors rock"thumbsup"

 

[jordi555]

Bill, yep Brood's are great, I need to get a set for my son too, he's wrecked everything else :evil:

 

[billj]

Got the 35t's in today, They feel great"thumbsup" Brood motors are killer. Installed my robitronics servo horn"thumbsup" I think i might need a new 7950th soon, mine is starting to "twitch" when i pick the vehicle up. I have never had this problem before. I have seen the JR8711 do it before (on other rigs). Had a local comp on Sunday, finished the day third. Really dont know how i got that, Another so so driving day. Need to get more consistent. But on a good note, i really liked the EDL knuckle weights. Truck had plenty of power to pull out of jams.

 

[crazyorigin]

Those knuckle weights look really good tucked in the SLW's, I can't wait to try mine on the XR. The Berg is really equipped with lots of trick parts now, should be a helluva competitor.

Thanks Chris. The knuckle weights rock, i like them alot. Should be alot less strain on the drivetrain"thumbsup"As far as being a competitor, i have the parts. Just need to learn to drive the beast :lol:

I do... The courses were, well.. stupid :twisted: You drove great considering. I had an off day and still got 2nd... I think everyone but Rich was a bit off that day..

 

[crazyorigin]

W/ the roster of good drivers you have down in florida and all the well setup and tuned trucks, you can only get better. Competing against great drivers and rigs will dramatically improve your skills, watching and learning, and pushing yourself to beat them is about as good of practice you can hope for. There is really no crawler scene around me, I am going to try and get a couple comps together this year at a LHS, there are some crawlers, I just need to organize something. I like to think I am a pretty good driver, but I know I need a lot more practice. Once winter breaks I will be crawlin a few days a week to hone my skills, and start getting the word out about a couple comps, I wanna compare myself to some locals.

 

[billj]

It definetly helps comping against these guys. They (we) take it pretty serious, in a good way. Dont get me wrong, we still have fun. But its all about pushing the limits. Plus we get to crawl all year round, cant beat that. I have crawled almost every weekend, as far back as i can remember. (but im an old bastard, my memory could be failing me):lmao:

 

[billj]

Got me some of these little beauty's. Krawler Hobbies 3S 850's. Much smaller and lighter than the 1000's i was running. Thanks Jason for getting those out so quick"thumbsup"

Much smaller

Old Battery

New one

 

[Mini]

Wish they would make a battery that size but a 1000, 40C.
