RC Bashers

Hit up a new spot today with a few guys well turns out like 8 I think were there pretty cool. I didnt get much pics just to hard to try and drive and keep up with the others to stop all teh time for pics but I try. However!! LOL this is funny at the end the one cat drives a H2 and tried to climb up this area haha well wait for about 10secs in and listen real close for this hellacious noise lol.

that place looks even cooler than the last place. man ylou are getting outta the house a lot man.

yeah, that guy didnt so something right!

Yea its ok the lake still blows it away and you dont have the drinking, pot smoking drifters hiding behind the rocks to lol. We were all standing there and heard that noise and just laughed haha but the lake is also $10

See in the clip some dirt spitting out from under the front, crazy...yea the hangin tire was on the other side that woulda been cool to see haha.
Had fun meeting the other cats...maybe shooting for a sunday lake run again Dotons you wont be sorry!

awsome pictures love that wraith

On the H2, maybe something internal? For that kind of noise and jerk, something had to have given, maybe even a chipped gear. That's a LOT of weight.

I see a cliffhanger body on that redcat. I think the body was the best part of that cliffclimber, haha. I made a mold of the body off mine so I can make vacuum pulls off it someday.

does the H2 have lockers in the front and rear? or just rear?

looks like another fun place.

yeah that was a heck of a pop what ever it was on the hummer. those things are so big an bulky to begin with.

yea could have been the torsion bar my bros 2500 chevy broke the bolt holding the torsion bar to the crossmember and everytime he'd back up or crank the wheel it would make a loud ass popping noise like ur h2. haha and u did that with ur baby in there haha crazy man.

lol crazier was seeing him climbing all around them rocks with the baby around his neck then metal playing to calm him? lol

Torsions bars, duh. I should have thought about that. I used to run s10's and they have the same design, just smaller. The mounts on the torsion bar crossmember were always wearing out and making pops and cracks. The adjusting bolts would break too but not as often. Then I swapped in a solid axle and leaf springs, problem solved, haha.

yeah, i was thinkin torsion bars at first too. they love to make loud scary noises like that.

Deer creek is an awesome olace. Thanks dirty for showing me that place.

that my friends was the Eaton G80 locking differential locking up. When one wheel sslips it locks into place with a kind of clunk noise. GM is the only brand running the G80. With this setup and a 4wd truck/suv you have three wheels pulling when its in 4wd or awd. With the limited slip everyone else runs you only have two wheels pulling when its in 4wd. Notice the sound comes when he hangs the tires. Thats why it did that. Look up G80 locker videos. There is this one that explains it all...
