Pick a color

I'm looking to reissue this in a different color and get these pressed. I personally really like the blue & white look but if you've got a different idea, email me. Click the photo to see it in a larger format.

Rats...

just another thing I'm trying to get Eddie to check out. It's about a block away from his house, HINT. might need a skull instead of the airbrush gal and it's not much for hauling anything more then a dog and a picnic basket...or some skateboards and a youngster but heck yeah!!

Angela Ryan Gets a Stick

If you're a drummer or not, Angela's getting on PinupStix is something to babble about...one more thing from Texas worth recognizing...out of say...10 so far? LOL
If you're not aware of her, you can find her at myspace.angelaryan

time off

it's been a few plus a couple more weeks but the whole family has been together and we've been busy. From my pulling washing machines in santa cruz...being smashed by a big wave and getting mixed up with the rocks at the bottom sucks!...to camping, skeeter bites, dog snacks and a new chassis, skating, family above all, i've been too busy to keep up on the facebook and blog. oops.

Not much is new except that I think the gals are here to stay, the new chassis is awesome, and found that the Napa Home depot has some really good ledges to skate. That plus cooking great food, laughing and being together - our summers been awesomely fun and chill. Now it's almost over so back to work as they say. I'll get some things up about the chassis and the decks later.

Again, way to go Taylor of Corpus Christi by way of the Rockies...You Did It!!!

Off Road Concepts - creates winner on skates

My friends son Taylor won first for best attitude at Corpus Cristi skatepark! It's his first season on a deck and now he's won a grip from the local shop. Way to Go!!! Taylor!
When I first met Eddie, his son was just starting to talk about skating. All they knew was how to destroy a traxxas in the skate park and watch...but now, Taylors takin' to rippin' with the big guys now! Maybe the next Salba? Keep it up Brah!

This kit is ready for shipping. We had some issues getting the rods made but now the kit is ready to buy and convert the stock Axial AX10 rock crawler to a bodiless tvp chassis. You'll need to make your own plates from lexan but soon, I have those ready too along with a custom 1.5 lower rod that will replace the stock Axial on and bring the lowers inboard and closer. Instructions will be online as I don't like paper waste and until I make my own links, you'll need 4 - 7x65mm rods from the uppers and you'll need to replace the stock bent rears with 106mm straights to get a perfect 12.5" wheel base. You'll also need one 6x6mm spacer for the rear if you're using the 3-link system. This chassis was designed for 4" shocks so either droop your stock axials with internal springs from The Crawler Store or get the sprung from Losi or such.

training wheels

my family and I went to the park with 8 of our family friends and their kids. about 40 of us and what with all our kids, my son finally rode a bike with out training wheels on. a bit behind others of his age but heck, he drops in and skates like no one...so yeah, today, no falls, pedal power all the way and I stoked!!! didn't get a pic of that so here is in his glory after wards!

today's comp. video at HCC - Concord

Hobby Town Crawler Series

This one sucked! I entered with a broken drive shaft and know it could snap at any moment, I babied the course...er...my truck. failed the wire bridge which i haven't done in months. Normally I get on, full throttle up and out but this time, maybe cuz i didn't eat my cream of wheat for breakfast, i got hung so I bailed it, and went up the hill. no sweat. easy course really but knowing my rig could break, i went a little gingerly and bombed.

I started losing hope when I got to the two spires. I tried to get the progress point in reverse but after a couple tries, drove off, entered the course again and with some baby steps to try and not snap the drive shaft, nailed it. then flipped again. my issue was I didn't want to use wheel "english" to get through, and finally snapped it just at the last gate. I'm still in 3rd for the series but this run just sucked. Never go to a comp with a broken truck. lesson learned. here's the vid.

RC Stampede and Crawler Lexan Bodies

If you have been watching, you know that RC rock crawling is gain momentum as an exciting alternative to the fast paced stadium/monster trucks. With Axial providing such a great platform to start with, rock crawling courses are popping up, customers are creating custom ways of getting the right articulation and ground clearance and having a blast doing it.

The Ground Haug bodiless tvp chassis bolts right onto the axial rig and with some changes to the link arms, your customers can crawl in style with fine tune shock placement, a perfect comp legal 12.5 wheel base, and with our introductory offer you can save money by buying directly from the OEM; Racer's Edge Machine which has been making upgrade parts for Traxxas since '04.

I spent enough time in school to know how geometry works. Since this chassis is designed for 4" sprung shocks or droop, I have made sure the shocks never touch the chassis or the tires on severe articulations unlike other bodiless tvp chassis's on the market. I also created a way to hold the shocks inboard and free from the chassis while giving great side hill abilities to the crawler.

Ground Haug Design & Distribution has a simple moto: Get Off That Couch!. With kids sitting around all the time, my kids too, I took my talents to RC crawlers, bodies and skateboards; mixing hot rod style and the rat rod culture with tools that help kids think.

Racers Edge Machine uses the most advanced CNC Machining and Design Technologies to produce Precision RC Parts from Aircraft Quality Aluminum. REM prides themselves on the highest quality standards to insure proper fitment and durability of every part, Guaranteed!. REM manufactures ALL parts in the USA and leads the industry in GREEN Standards. Through REM's Quality, Outstanding Customer Service and Innovative Designs, they strive to be the Leader in the World of Performance R/C.

Series Comp at HT - Concord

This last Saturday I entered a series comp at Hobby Town Concord and had a blast. The chassis handles great. Our team driver and I placed quite well. I drove okay but knowing that my drive shaft was about to snap, I drove too gingerly and racked up some point that I shouldn't have. Scores are like golf so for each reverse, add one point.

Here is a short vid of my allowed entry into the pro course that even though I wasn't happy with some areas that could have been tackled with more patients, I did pretty good.

You can catch the other vids and comments at: RCCrawler.com and see what others in the "pro" class did on this same course. after seeing they're runs, I think I did pretty good.
