Not a bad turnout today. There would have been more, but some couldn't make it do to some last minute issues...

But it was still a blast! Had a few Wraiths making the SCX-10 rigs look bad but everyone did pretty well. I was really impressed with my own rig in some of the places, but really let down by it in others, lol. I learned that A) my home-made servo winch SUCKS, and B) my COG is just a little high...

1.9 rigs

I wasn't being a camera hog or anything, but for some reason the man holding the camera didn't take many photos of the other two 1.9 rigs

Very nice!
What were your impressions of the Wraith?
I know they have a wider and taller stance than the Honcho.


What is the tubing hanging out of the wheelwells?

Did you get any videos too?

no videos unfortunately

the Wraiths out there performed GREAT, although all but one was pretty heavily modified

the tubes you see on the black one are bypass shocks; REAL bypass shocks, not just for looks that particular rig KILLED everyone; it was a monster!
