viper's creeper build

[viper6171]

cool show em how it's done bud .

on another note i took my step-son out to the last comp cause he was showing interest in my crawlers and he drove a little on my backyard course . we decided that he would try his hand at comping , so long story short he took 8th place at his first comp and really his first time driving the rig for more than 5 min . so now i may have to build another rig for him .

now i am trying to decide if changes are gonna be made to the creeper , chassis
,suspension , etc. . it does well now but it has areas that could be improved . can't decide , if i do change things then i have to get used to a new rig but is it worth it if i can improve the abilities of my creeper .

yeah i have been lookin for a set for a crawler for my stepson , since he enjoyed the comp that he attended . i talked to him today and he said he did want to go to comps this year, so now i get to build another comp rig for him .

thats cool man, my grandsons are just getting the hang of driving rc's and it's a blast to watch them.

Yeah, I have been looking for a set for a crawler for my stepson , since he enjoyed the comp that he attended . I talked to him today and he said he did want to go to comps this year, so now I get to build another comp rig for him .

Sorta opposite from our house, my son started with a crawler (he had already been driving offroad RC) the spring of 2010 & I drove him to comps.
This past Christmas he built me a 2.2 Bully which I still run.
Now we both comp, he does 1.9 & 2.2 (the 2.2 is either his Creeper or a Bully MOA) and I run the 2.2 Bully (although I am building a 1.9).

Regardless, it is a decent way for us to spend time together doing something. It also allows time for "problem solving".

yeah my son had r/c vehicles before and so did i ,i got into crawling and he saw me practising and got interested so i took him with me to a comp and he drove my creeper and finished in 8th place out of 10 and he was hooked . so i have been secretly collecting parts for him so i could build him a rig to drive .

i was the direct opposite. i started with RCs and after my dad saw me having fun with them and and seeing how much i was learning from racing them that he actually went out and bought himself a car to run. we are running the same cars and all the same parts and gearing and we are the top ones in our class aat our LHS

thats cool dude , sounds like you and your dad are doing good and having fun. my stepson is 30 yrs old now and we don't do as much together anymore so it will be nice to have this in common
