gave my SM a beating today - 11-13-2005, 04:00 PM

Tex came over and helped me setup my truck, then we went and got a heavy duty servo saver at hobby town. After that we went to the woodridge jumps, as soon as I got my truck going, I hit the brake, and the diff was clicking, besides that, my sm was handling better than ever, and Tex's revo is just insane with the p5. We cleared the doubles like nothing, pulled off the hill climb pretty easily, then we started jumping off the other side of the hill climb... I kept landing in a tree on the drop lol.

A little while later we were going off the same set of jumps in the opposite direction... well, you know what happens when you do that... tex's revo landed right on my maxx, then a little while later I landed on his revo as if it were a landing ramp .

I tried a backflip over the double... no good, when the truck hit the ground all wrong it whipped around like somethin else.

Tex had to shut down his revo because his RX pack wasnt fully charged, then I kept going for big air off the double... I ended up nailing a tree hard as hell with just the lower supermaxx braces in mid air.

After all that, nothing was broke, and the truck still looks good.

Sweet. SuperMaxx's don't break, unlike Revo's. LOL Make sure you tell me when the next time some people are going up there.

Once again the wing looks good.

I was going to post about it, but we wernt really sure about when we were going to be there, because I didnt know how long setting up my truck was going to take, and how much time I was going to spend at the LHS.

It's true, the Supermaxx takes a beating better than a stock Revo. How much do you have in the SM?

Apples and oranges, apples and oranges.

yeah, awesome time today Rob.

We were clearing the doubles like nothing and the hill climb was pretty easy. It seemed harder back in the day. I almost wish the hill climb was more of a battle, I think the more challenging the funner but...yeah still tons of fun.

You should have seen Rob riding 100FT plus wheeies down the street! Man those $99 CVRX's are awesome.

If my Revo would have taken half the hits Rob's SM took I would have had to buy a new truck...lol That SM is TOUGH!

my front spyders are stripped after 1 and a half tanks. I'm going UE, hopefully in time for the next woodridge bash session.


Obsessive, I have no clue how you run stock diffs with that 23.


I'm not even landing with the throttle either, tex can vouch for that.

Yeah... revos don't break. Unless they are mine. Then, if you are going to hobby town through an hours worth of traffic, make sure you pay attention or they will sell you pushrods instead of turnbuckles. The you now have to drive back through 1 1/2 hours of traffic to get turnbuckles... missing the rest of the bash. It's ok... I'll be back. Anyone going to be there tomorrow or tuesday?? I may be able to swing by at about 3 for an hour or two of bashing...

the break point has to move somewhere. Something has to give Until it's FULL UE) then you just snap pillowballs, rod ends, and shock shafts
