Long story short...

I shoot up to RCHR to practice tonight.

Slash has got me down. Getting tired of rolling the dice on replacement Titans...MooCow seems especially lethargic. I put it back in the pits.

I take out the VXL Rusty and I finally feel like its dialed and aside from a bent rear shock shaft (I bent it back after Ralph originally tweaked it last week lolz)
Feels good but still sloppy and I can't kick a rear traction in the turns problem.

Overall I kept feeling like I was driving and compensating for handling with my driving style. I enjoy driving them but I made a big mistake tonight...



I took a truck for a spin I really shouldn't have. Much like the virgin Ralph when he touched Mark's B44 for the first time...










Will's black SC10...






BIG MISTAKE!





I finish up his pack and immediatly I am hooked.

I attacked corners very aggressively with control.

The suspension made the truck seem VERY fast in the back straight and into and out of turns.

VERY nimble and surefooted. You really notice how light it is even if Will popped a SPEC brushless in it instead of a brushed motor.

Responsivenss is impressive!

Great in the air and predicatable.

Needless to say I did what I have to...I put down a deposit after running it for another packs worth of laps. I didn't flip, I didn't need to marshall myself and I was thoroughly impressed. You notice the low CG as soon as you get to the sweeper.

Soon i'll be the proud owner of the ProComp RCHR ordered and I am proud to support the shop!

MooCow and VXL Rusty are going up on fleabay. I am going to stick with my good punch lipo and the stock setup exactly out of the box. Fluids eventually but again...driving is believing. Others may disagree but this truck instantly made me a better driver. It really attacks corners and jumps with authority and I couldn't have been happier with it.

So I officially claimed the ProComp!

Will I can't thank you enough for being cool, letting me try your truck and not pressuring me to pick it up. Straight up guy...the reason I'll stick around here and continue my support. I was the only guy screwing around at the shop and he was cool as hell.
