Check out what my friends in Austria have come up with. The Monty is a mini-sized MOA with AWS. Basically, it’s a mini-super that can fit in your backpack.

I’m back from Crawlapalooza Disney, Oklahoma, unpacked, and mostly caught up on orders. If you have never been to this event, you should really make it happen. It’s one of the most fun events I have done, and one that I plan on every year.

Quick recap:

WRCCA super (15 of 23)
WRCCA mini (2 of 50)
TTC 3rd place
Modified (25 of 119)
Unlimited (6 of 76)
Juggernaut Wild (1 of 18)
Juggernaut Mild (1 of 11)
WRCCA sporty (15 of 74)
WRCCA pro (34 of 59)

I booked a busy weekend, and it showed.
But I did manage to take home four trophies and four best course scores. Our house took more than 1/3 of the total trophies awarded (21 of 59), and almost as many best course plaques.

One more time…
Crawlapalooza Disney, Oklahoma is coming up next week, and that means I will be traveling again. Shipping will not take place between Oct 14-20, and will resume on Oct 21.
As I’m working my hardest to keep up with orders coming in between now and Next Tues, some items that take longer to cut and/or assemble may not ship until I return.

See you in Disney! 🤘

Coming in at the Silver level of support for Crawlapalooza is the consummate innovator, JJ Rutten with his company Deviate Customs. JJ got his start up at Dlux Fab and then branched off with his own company and his own line of ESCs. He’s branched off from ESCs and now offers transmissions, chassis and other parts.

JJ is another long time attendee of Crawlapalooza and always amazes people with the very innovative rigs he brings. As with the other sponsors, JJ will be around all weekend, be sure to search him out, say hello and support him as well! Check out all he has to offer at:

Please stop blindly throwing money at brass parts. Especially when you haven’t driven your rig yet.
Far too often, I see people loading up on brass like they’re Mr. T. Instead of adding weight when it may not be necessary, start by removing unnecessary weight from where it’s not needed. That means removing weight off the rear, and up high.
Example: The Vertex 10w stock chassis and steel links compared to my Vendetta chassis with titanium links. Did you know all of this weight sits above the cgh? That means overall weight is lowered, front bias is improved, and cg is lowered. All at once. 👌

✔️build your rig as light as possible
✔️add weight only where it’s needed
✔️static>rotating weight

Vendetta chassis is live on the website, and some of you have already found it.

Options include:
Rails only
Add carrier bearing
Add links
Add links and servo mount for AWS

Options can get confusing. Hopefully I worded everything well enough. I will assume you’re using V10w (wide) steering axles for your build. If either, or both, of your steering axles are narrow, there is a note field to let me know.
