Can't be there until after 2:45 pretty much, Will you still be there? I'd love to see low budget do some wheeling, but I have a class until 2 pm.

i'll be out EARLY, as Jacob is competing in the RC comp. I'll bring my buggy this time. Most of the RC guys got out there BY 9am last time. I think they are doing the comp in about the same place as last time - that sucks, because i like the lower section of Moonrocks the best - or at least that is what i'm most familiar with.

Well, see ya'll out there.

i'll probably still be there. last rc comp went till about 4:30-5:00. if the weather holds like it is right now (friday, 4pm), i'm sure people will be "hangin'" out and finally enjoying some sun and warmth.

So did ape get the right v crack or get denied? Jeremy how'd it run today, any other problems arise from testing it out?

I'll answer for you :tongue:

He did not get the right v-crack, something about fullwidths and Temperature :wink:

Crawling up a section he busted the Frame side upper link mount on the rear axle, which allowed the axle to roll under the rig and almost busted a few heims and a driveshaft, but stopped in time. After a trail repair, he was going to go home, but Brian kicked his ass into gear and wheeled for another few hours. Other then a loose Hydro fitting on the rear ram, and a smoke show every now and then, the thing wheels!

I got to drive it, in a circle, on the flat ground... :eek:
