Just a reminder 1pm signup starts. Please use your real name along with your online Alias (for result posting). All trucks will be required to have a # sticker on the truck (provided). All trucks will need to be off the area by 1:30 so we can rearrange the rock area and setup the course (if you think your practicing, your not). No one is allowed to actually walk on the course or move rocks except myself and HT employees (insurance).
IF YOU ARE NOT COMPETING YOUR RADIO MUST BE OFF (GSM radio's exempt) Please remember this is being held in a hobbyshop during reg hrs, lets make sure they ask us back.

Pretty damn cool guys. Sorry I missed out on it. I was very lucky I went to work since my assistant called off.. would have been really bad if we both called off.
Hopefully the next comp will be on a sunday! Thanks for the pics!

It seemed decent the other day when I saw them running, but the diffs click and apparently this happens on all of them.

Saturday it came down to driver and how the truck is set up. On my WK the clicking Ponch is talking about was the slipper clutch built into the transmission from the factory when I'd get the whels blocked to the point they couldn't spin, the diffs on my truck can't click because I have the Maximizer lockers in place of the HPIA850 internals that date back to the early gear diff RS4's. On Strat's WK I think the JB Weld came apart on one of the diffs or his truck may be one of the older trucks that needed a couple shims between the ring and/or pinion and axle housing. The sound his truck was making was a different pitch click that the slipper makes. The other truck that was clicking was a largley stock appearing TLT and I have no idea what was making the noise on that, could have been the drive belt in the trans that was slipping. I've seen alot of whining about the width of the WK axles and how they don't look scale because of their width, but I think that in combination with the AX10's beadlocks was an advantage over the AX10 and TLT based rigs that ran. IIRC my truck in the same trim as run on Sat and as Rocco saw today should be right around 11" wide at the outer sidewalls. Somethig alse that worked to my favor was that since I bought the truck, I've been trying to find some of the nastiest terrain to run it over (not easy around here BTW) and some of it was alot like the way that the rock on that course was set! I had found good places to practice completely by accident!
