I might be able to do one or the other. MOG is running well.
Need to limit the shocks in the JK, and I started narrowing the tires a bit.

Ok, so we have 3 guys confirmed for this weekend. I talked with Big Daddy and he seemed interested too. So where do we want to crawl. I plan on running my 1.9. I am going to look into what is damaged on the 2.2. Maybe I can get it fixed before this weekend. I have a bad feeling I took a bearing out. :roll: Oh well. they are all original. And I have no plans on building new body mounts this week. I can't reach my workshop from the pool. :lmao:

Ok, first off let me say that my Jeep is now my favorite crawler. It fits in my saddlebags, so I can wander and crawl at the same time. :lmao:
That being said...
Jim... Good news. That stream in Fallasburg park has gone down finally. We only have about a 1/4 of a mile of good crawling fun. I did some test runs tonight with the jeep and it was a riot. You bring the cuteness and we can try to catch some of those fish in the deeper holes. :lmao:
Here is some pictures.
and just in case your worried about the rules.
Here are a couple videos that show my jeep running thru the water. giving you an idea.

We can go to Paris Park. There water is optional. :lmao:
Plus I don't know how fast that stream is running after the rain last night, and it is even further away from the Holland guys... so that might be a weekend visit sometime."thumbsup"

Go where you guys would prefer to. I'll stick around home this weekend.
I gave my kids the option of a 3rd (temporary) rig so 3 of us could join you for 60min runs, or fixing up our area in our yard to run 2 rigs. They chose fixing up our area to run in more often.
Let me know when the water in Lowell drops enough for 1.9 rigs to run in. It looks 2" in spots in the pics and would be fun!

Well you guys didn't miss out on much, this time. We were only in the woods for maybe 45 minutes. Tragically, we ended up having to take Jim to the Hospital for lost of blood. :lmao: The Mosquitoes were horrible.
We also ended up with only one person with a fully functional crawler... and he was borrowing it from Jim.
Jim went thru 2 vehicles and I had trouble with the Jeepster. I did have my Axial with me, however at that point, Jim was looking pretty pale from the lost of blood. :lmao:
There is talk about getting together tomorrow. After the duck races this afternoon, (Lowell) I am going to run up to Fallasburg to see what the stream is like. Maybe we will go there tomorrow... or I am definitely interested in trying some new places.
Jim, what time will you be available after church?

Jim, you asked where I got my super cheap batteries, and radio. Well here you go.
The batteries I use in my MRC.

My new radio for my Axial
http://www.hobbypartz.com/fs-gt2-24ghz-radio-black.html
Both work great. Plus for only $7.40 you can get an extra receiver.

Well last night was very productive. I managed to get some Silicon Base Dielectric grease, so I decided to tear my MG645 Servo down from my MRC Jeep and regrease it. "Just in case." The circuit board side was nice and dry still so I felt pretty good. Then I pulled the gears apart. Oh Snap. I was probally 1 run away from roasting my servo bearing complete. There was a rusty goo in the gears. Not good.
Well I cleaned it all up. Took the bearing out and put it in a bearing cleaner I had lieing around. An hour later I had restored it.:shock: Now both front and back are filled with silicon grease and sealed with silicon gasket. Now all I need to do is buy some o-rings for the output shaft.
My recommendation to all is if you are running the MG645 they DO NOT have any rubber seals like the bigger servos. You might want to check your servos if you have been following Jim and I around.
Tonight I start on the Axial.
