I finally attended my first competition and I have to say it was an absolute blast. I was nervous going into it and had "psyched" myself out in the days and weeks prior to the comp. but it was an entire different story when I showed up and started to introduce myself to some of the other competitors. There were 3 (that I know of) team drivers in attendance and several other really good guys. Overall I think everyone there did an outstanding job. Everyone was really nice, and willing to help with any question we had. I saw some really awesome "rigs" and was blown away at the excellent job everyone had done to prepare for the competition. In attendance were two "Berg" team drivers One "Rein RC" team driver and several really outstanding people!
The competition had 4 different stations or courses. As I got there and looked at the setup I thought "this is going to be embarrassing, this stuff is impossible for me to run with my crawler" as time went on it started to rain and the already impossible rocks became slippery. I thought "what the heck" I am here and these guys are really good guys, if anything I will get some constructive criticism.
As the competition started and went on I ended up getting more and more comfortable with the rules and with my driving. I ended up doing really well in the competition and I am looking forward to the next one!!
My crawler performed great, especially compared to some of the others that were there. I ended up with some more broken body parts, a fried servo, and a broken driveline. Hopefully I can get it fixed up before the next competition. The tires I was running that day worked great and handled the rain very well. I was very impressed with my ESC, radio, suspension and really everything.
Any pics?
