Guess I won't be working on the WildKat much tomorrow

[Joe Handley]

Went to a crawler club cookout and get-together saturday and the club member who's house it was at decided to dig a little mud pit right before we got there. The club president and myself were the only ones brave enough to give it a try after he added more water and mixed it up a little better But tomorrow....the cleanup begins

The bog

My Wheely King TJ

Jeff's PTI TJ

This pic of my WK was taken by Cedric Vann, who won the summer comp series

Here's some post bog pics of the two trucks

Jeff's truck body off

My truck Body off

and the two sitting nose to nose

Oh, if you're wondering how thick that mud was, here's a vid of me removing my WK from the pit after getting it stuck. If you listen closely, you can actually hear a slurping sound as the truck comes out of the mud

That's just nasty!!!!

I'll stick to Lava Rocks!

After I locked the front diff, what a diff that makes!

Now, all I need is a reverse ESC, hint, hint, hint.....

[Joe Handley]

Oh lava rocks! Bob had a few of those on his crawler course, great traction and they weighed next to nothing!

Now the Jeff and a few others are talking about building and competing with mud racers, the "trail rig" class would pretty much eliminate my WK from that class, but there's goinf to be a "pro" class that will be open to most anything short of a Maxx style truck (although with a little imagination, the Traxxas Slayer could work )
