GTG at HobbyTown USA, Richmond, VA

i had fun there, just wish i had my truck. saw a bruiser in real life and watched thornsteer bust a rear shaft while screwing around with the blazer:lol:. next gtg i will have my wk
 
I had an absolute blast. I do wish I had either star cut the foams or just left them out completely, tho. traction on that wood ladder going up to the first obstacle was pathetic. when I saw the pics I thought the course was going to be easy. HELL NO! those grey obstacles are slick as all get out! get them rhino lined in grey!
 
sadly, no. the third round was just for the top 5 scoring people in the previous 2 rounds and I wasn't one of them. oh well. I did run the course they ran before and it was pretty challenging
 
I too had a blast, sadly the 2.2 mudslingers were no match the the grey manmades. I did however take some serious notes and we will return with a better prepared rig. Although not bad for driving the truck only one time briefly before the comp.

yea, I heard someone say that the sticky 2.2 slingers are the sh1t. I would definitely look into a TCS boomerang rear link mount and set it up with the right link under the plate and the left link above the plate in order to pretty much get rid of torque twist without having to play around with preload or spring rates. your rig looked to have a hell of a lot of torque twist. of course, as to not be hypocritical I should probably do that mod myself. my rig could probably use that mod and some shorter shocks and a little massaging done on the foams. and weighs in the wheels. the list goes on and on

yea, they zipped around a bit after the comp 2.2s were done running. I ran over the metallic red bodied one with my axial accidentally, and had the jeep bodied one run into my foot a few times :lol:

I just got home, man it was a great time. The track and lay out were way better in person than the pics, way to go Hobby Town and Dave! I had a blast, it was nice meeting yall and seeing some again. Thanks Slyp for vid'ing Angry Squirrel, I'm going to do a little editing and get it posted tonight or in the morning.
 
Hey guys, I had to join over here so I could say thanks! I had a great time today and it was great to meet you guys! I posted a bunch of pics over on Scale4x4...with more to come!
 
Thanks to Hobbytown and VARCOR for putting together a nice track for us. I also want to thank RC pro Racing (parts), John at AB-Charles (truck and motor)for the parts and support.

I had a great time, met alot of new great people and CAN'T wait till the next one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
i hope everyone had a great time at the comp. i know i did. thanks to dave, mark, joe, and anyone else who helped organized the event. definitely need to keep this going.

sorry for the guys who waited for the 3rd 2.2 comp course, due to the time, we only had time to run the top 5. for the first organized comp for VARCOR, it went smooth. with a few tweaks, the next one with be smoother.
