S.W.R.R.C. Club meeting for 2012 Comp Season

You are a day late Robert, Byron was looking for a xr10 or a berg and he ended up buying a berg yesterday.

Next comp will be in Las Cruces at lil Moab

See you guys there

Oh well, anyway I am wanting to try on a real comp but have been a little extra busy with inventory etc.

maybe I can be there at lil moab to try the xr10.

byron, glad to see you finally see the light. Lol. Ponch the way you drive that shafty i wouldnt worry about an MOA right now. We have all seen you do things with that we were just wondering HOW.

Well after the last comp the wife and i got board and were talking about doing some scaling to, so we picked these up so we can have a little more fun. Neither one will be some crazy custom like the Wraith tuber but something we can have fun with and just drive. The F350 project is just going to be put on hold but the idea so far is a flatbed recovery dually. We will just have to wait to see. Cant wait until the next comp.

Thanks Chris. Sometimes I wonder how too. Hopefully the new tire combination and razors that i'll be getting will help me out some more.

Hey alfonso have you learned how to use natural dig. So funny cause I would get caught on a rock and kind off use it as a dig lol. Then when u needed to get off I would floor it.

welcome to the dark side you wont regret it......

like bobby jr said alfonso next to brainwash

Well I believe it is "Destiny" or the "Power of the Force" so happened Eric jr saw by chance a MOA Berg on auction at E-Bay two days ago. Yesterday the bidding ended and he won the bid. Got it for a very good price.
We are also awaiting for it to arrive since it comes from TN.
85toycrawler I guess we are on the same spot... anxious to see the mailman arrive...



It was used last year for a Comp and according to the seller it is fine and ready to run plus comes with extra set of wheels and tires. Eric Jr. paid $397.00.
Eric last week bought a new Spektrum DX3RPRO from Team Valadez Hobby so now he may be able to do some real Comp with dual electronic dig.

*** Coalition Crawlers, can't wait to see how the Dingo performs, I have wanted a real Scaler but still undecided as to what kind RTR should get. Choices for RTR Scalers are limited unless oneself build it.
Like the Dingo Body style best but don't know if it may perform well enough for the terrain we are accustomed to.
Looking forward to see it in action at the next event. I'm still brainstorming as to which type of body style may provide the best performance for the type of Scaler Trailing we do.

Until then I will continue with my Strange looking Hybrid "Chimeras".

Well the Berg Crawler arrived today, thanks to Jorge all electronics are set and ready to go. Still need to clean-up the wiring some as to make all fit and look neat.

We are ready for the next Comp at Las Cruces this next Sunday. I am nearly done with my research on getting a real Scaler. It may not be for this Season but will be ready for the next.

Eric jr and I have a some three Aquacraft Super Vee 27 , brushless fast electric Speed Boats, bought some aluminum beams and materiel to start building two Boat Trailers to hook-up onto the Axial Wraith and Mini-Wraith. That will be our project for this next month of March.
May work a few minutes or a few hours a day on it when schedule permits. It should be a Breeze of a project.

Will take some video of the Axial Wraith Rock Crawlers with their respective speedboats once completed.

Tomorrow will open an account at RC Crawlers.com and will also meet there.
Have seen some neat projects from common folk like me at RC Crawlers, projects like Flat bed trailers, Camper Trailers, boat trailers and other... It may also be fun to share some insights with new folk.
