Got a little SM testing in today - RobH - 10-23-2005
I picked up my SM from Obsessive today, I get home, charge the RX pack, get all ready to bash... then it starts raining... just my luck.
3 hours later... still raining, I figure oh well, ill do some jumps and speed runs anyway, since i havent run with VBS yet, even though my electronics are not waterproofed.
It was running better than ever, thanks to Jerry. I got a good... half a tank in :p:

Thats the first upper i've ever broken. I figure that broke because VBS supports the rear of the hingepin on the lower arm, and I never bough any spare uppers sooo im done for a day or 2.
Also, the aluminum VBS skids are holding up very well, I did about 3 nose dives from 5 to 7ft up, and the skid did not bend back at all. I think i'll hold off on the titanium skids for the time being.

cool beans man! Glad to see you are back in action. Your toe in the back looks a little off, or is that just how the pic makes it seem?
Also, Rob, am I still picking you up for Berwyn? just wondering if anything has changed.

Don't know. I've auctually never raced at all. The handling was really nice in the backyard though, w/ garbage stock t-maxx tires.

Very cool...no more broken arms w/ that set up!!

nice, did u move the tank or is that just how the kit comes, new to the maxxes, just got one about a week ago. if you did it why, lower center of gravity or something?

I'm running a DACE Predator chassis kit, which comes with an OFNA tank & standoffs that is mounted there.
It is in that location to better balance the weight of the truck, thus improving handling.
