Boss, same here

Batfish, I'd still like to see a freestyle. Not bugging, just reminding

Yep - when I last talked to Mike, he also mentioned a freestyle event. What would it consist of if you were to define it, crazyjr?

Thank you for your input :003:

ever thought of a tug-o-war? that would be a site. especially with brushless powered beast'. also, what about holeshot awards? how about high-tech awards? just some thoughts....

coolhand would probably win that with his 2250

Batfish. I think it would be like the real monster truck freestyle, practically anything goes, at least a 3minute time limit, preferably till you had a failure or batteries dumped, but the number of entries might limit that. Got to have a few kickers and one large kicker jump(maybe borrowed from the long jump)

Squee. Good idea how about Teams of two, double the trucks double the smoke. I know who my partner would be, right Coolhand

Pulling contest. Like they did on the x-game's.

Mike would have to bring a lot of drivetrain parts if we had a pulling contest. there would be lots of broken diffs and tranny's maybe a motor or two

Sneeck · 02.05.2006, 09:53 AM

Like there will be no damage from long jumping?

i ment there would be a lot of drivetrain damage from the tug-o-war
but there would be a lot of suspension damage from long jumping and racing along with freestyle
i cant wait

crazyjr · 02.05.2006, 01:03 PM

or racing?

Batfish · 02.05.2006, 01:17 PM

Instead of a tug-of-war, I could see a tractor pull-type of event. That may be worth looking into.

joe, there are actually sleds on ebay on occation. a used one is probably the way to go since they are kinda expensive. heres a couple of links to some on ebay: tamiya sled and heres another

The first one is not very good. I seen a dually tired clod with stock motors pull it around a track with it bending under the weight it was carrying. I'm not sure how much was on it but it wasn't much. The second looks heavy duty enough. Thats a good idea Batfish

edit 1: I was looking at the tamiya pull sled and its not a tamiya, its an Aristocraft I have one of their buggies and the wheels are the same

The 2250 would not be a good tug of war machine. It has a center diff and is geared rather hi. I may something here for that though. ;)
I don't know about the free style competion. I may see about that. I got a few places to practice. I was getting some over the weekend.

couldnt you put a spool in the center diff and gear it as low as you possibly can. it would likely have to much torque though
