its time! full on BWD mini mantis.. test, tune an crawl!

Nice save on the rollover!! Good driving all the way around.

I could see where a little weight in the rear might help but I don't think you'll need much. She looks like she's dialed in pretty damn good.

Thanks, yeah I'm thinking half a, .100 or two halves. This rig has been awesome to build an learn to drive. The steering was a huge help! Specially around the top of that big rock that it just made it around the edge of.. That was almost too close for comfort. I'm just glad the motor swap was on its game an nice an smooth. Any jumpy/jerky happenings at that point would have been horrible! Broken parts even, no good
 
Changed out motor to a 35t HH TM pro an decided to throw a CF motor guard on from Custom Fiber.

Thanks Ev..
Yeah, I don't know that he puts much time into it, so its prolly the same setup. Mmm, nicley put, I would take it apart an rebuild it. Lol. But I rebuild everything! Lower rear, clocked back more on the rear axle. Clock the front axle back or at least clock the chubs. Get rid of or change the shock setup. I felt a little bind or stick point in the front link/suspension cycle. Flip the rear links end for end. Lol.. just off the top of my head.. (how'd ur bro do with setup).... I think he got 4th with it.. all an all it ran good, I just like rebuilding and changing. It was planted and great to watch crawl!
 
Yeah... front axle you can't really clock the chubs cause than if you do since it has the BWD bombproof shock/link mounts so if you clocked them it would tip those back... kinda the only downside to it..

I loved those LH's cause it was soo easy to adjust the weight on it and they did just keep it planted :)

I don't care that you posted them before me.. I just post them up for Troy when I see them.

And if you don't like my "crazy new phrases" don't look at my posts..
 
Gentleman.... Pm each other...

I appreciate you guys posting my video.. don't care who does it. I like the "crazy phrases"... enough said
 
The wife pulled some pics off the camera that she got of the course we didn't get video of..

Gate 2 was a tricky one, not that the pic shows it. But you will see from gates 3-5 how much of a side hill this is an the crack doesn't make it any easier. I actually came up at it an took a hard right around the gate an back down.

Which is where I got into trouble... at the bottom my rear end kicked to the left, which made for a hard hard left needed to get this gate.. I stopped at the fuzz an took my reverse for the day.. :(

Nice rig man. I just traded into an MRC myself and can't wait to get into it. Been wanting one for awhile. I might have a bunch of questions for you...:mrgreen:
