Cool... The XRS can handle up to 7 cells actually.
Just got back from Leisure, picked up 6 oz of lead weights for the fronts and the Novak XRS, only $50 at leisure, I expected more tbh lol... The Novak 55t motor there though, they want $40 for it so I said no thanks for now, I'm just going to get it offline.

It amazes me how many people are jumping on the crawler bus now. I've wanted one for a LONG time since matt got his about a year ago. Was gonna pick one up with some tax money but maybe I'll just wait a little longer. The way things around these parts go there'll be 6 of them in the market place in 2 months lol.

Actually, there are 3 new "fullsize" trucks coming out this year and 1 new mini crawler... Axial is also releasing a truck aimed to compete with the Wk.

Kyosho has an offering that looks pretty cool, supposed to be a June 08 release, buggy type platform, rear dig and winching on the truck (at least in what we have seen so far). Cant reveal what I know about the one truck I know for sure about (sorry been sworn to secretcy). If you surf around on RCC some of the "beens" have been "spilled". Pti is coming out with a "Pro" version of the GRC ,rumor is better axles and more of a truck on par with the axial. Of course there is the new axial coming out, many of the same basic components but allot of the green aluminum is replaced with Plastic and supposedly open diffs to make it have "bashability" rather than a straight on crawler.
The sport is growing leaps and bounds, you will see great growth over the next year or so. Its nice that hobby shops are starting to get involved now and realize how much the sport is growing. The HT comp was huge as far as a comp in our area goes and I only expect the next 1 to be larger. Ive been out today looking for outdoor comp spots (I think I may have frost bite on my ears) If I can get permission from the town to do a little clean up I may have found a good outdoor location but, its about 2hrs from Chicago. Im also hopeful that Chicago Underground will set something up. They have a LARGE indoor facility and could easily accomidate a huge course.

I just talked to Bernie at Leisure Hours Raceway and he said yes to doing the outdoor crawlin area next to the on-road course. It will serve 2 purposes, 1st crawlin course, 2nd run off area for the water from the off-road and on-road! I told him i'm all for helping build it and i'm sure some of you guys would be willing to help do it too! LMK whowants to help do this when the weather warms up!

That's all from The Crawler Store. (The Crawler Store LLC) I got the delrin set because it was cheaper and in stock (aluminum was a little less than double the price, and out of stock).

I think the delrin tray would be better from a battery short perspective over the aluminum one.
so you can see someone else getting screwed at the same time I went into the gas station today and asked for five dollars worth of gas......The clerk farted and gave me a receipt.

Somebody on RCCrawler had that happen a while back, I'll see if I can find the thread.
