another awesome evening of crawlin 
a few highlights:
Dave became the resident servo tech.
he fried his hitech and was abt to bail.
As we talked about our inventory of spare-parts...Dave found the problem, fixed it and was back on the rocks 8)
Hard luck rock seemed HARDER then I remembered.
I blamed my new wheel-foam config., and I'm sticking to it.
Even thought I was able to make it, I'm going back to the previous setup...remember it was easier before.
Scott found a new line :shock: what was the name?
will upload a vid. this evening.
Dima,
I had your $$, but I forgot my radio...so I bought one of those SICK DX3R radios.
should have some $ next pay-check
Anxious to finish my dig, as it seems like we are well on our way to having some killer lines out there 8)
The Wednesday Night crowd is getting bigger...great to see new faces out there.
see you guys next week.

Yep, great night of crawlin', lots of people out there with there rigs, all different set ups. Everyone one was friendly and having a good time.
That's what it's all about.
Bent70's new line is a nice continuation of the deep wedge run. The name however will be abbreviated due to it's maturity level (or lack there of :shock::ror, the name is "C. G. Canyon". I think "Baby-batter Buttes" would have cleared sensors.
I gotta a feeling there will be more people next week, challenging lines are addictive.

Yep a good time for sure that I almost missed :shock: Glad I got the servo going again.
Doug, what servo is Wes going to have next week that is the equal to the 5645MG?
Here's the link to the SR3001 for $70 (not $60 ;-)) RX http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=SPM1205!1002&color=N%2FA&size=N%2FA&subsize=
I believe you can bind these Losi's to the DX3R too, but I could not find a better price in 30 seconds of searching. http://cgi.ebay.com/LOSI-MRX-3000-D...VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

J and M hobbies on Laurel Rd.theres another one in redwood city area, but can't remember the name
Jake's Performance Hobbies in Rohnert Park and Hobbytown in Concord carry alot of great replacement and HP parts.
Great thing is Wes at Allspeed is seeing more crawlers coming in and he's ordering accordingly. He has a bit of Axial parts and has ordered some ARTR kits.
He tried to open an account with RC4WD, who is in Redwood Shores (15 miles south) but single lines orders are too pricey for a small new shop. He'd love to carry their stuff.
