July 24, 200619 yr So Jibs came down from reno. He finally got all (well most) the bugs worked out on his Brat, and I wanted to go take the hatch out... so we headed out and I took him to a local ORV park nearby. It was freakin HOT out tho. I think it got up to 110 today, maybe even more. We saw on a thermometer that it was 117 in the shade, but that didnt stop us. I was running in RWD, but this morning we installed my LSD and boy did that help out a TON!! There wasnt much for obsticles. And I only got out to take pix when we were letting the cars cool down. I need to install the 2nd A/C Fan cause the car got VERY close to the red mark out on some trails. We had Jibs cousin with us, Crazy D, and he got some good video. I'm in the middle of editing some of it now, and i'll have it up later. For now, here are the pix I did get: And they had a cool pedistal that we got up on, to pose for some shots: Stay tuned for some video... -Brian
July 24, 200619 yr Lookin' good guys, hope you both get your bugs worked out before WCSS. That background looks familiar..is that Prarie City SVRA?
July 24, 200619 yr Author Yeah Dave, thats Prairey City. No problems on this trip. We didnt really abuse the cars all that much. Here in a couple weekends we're gonna have to do a Kyburz trip or something to really test them out. -Brian
July 24, 200619 yr Author Video!!!! I wasnt able to get everything off of Jibs Camcorder. He got some other video that I wish i had here to edit in. Thats what I got and thats what i came up with. -Brian
July 24, 200619 yr Bit off topic, how big a file can youtube take? You need those drive shafts in by the look of it. Looks bloody hot, need some rain for those M/T's huh?
July 24, 200619 yr Author They'll accept up to a 100mb file or a 10min video. And yeah, CV's will be going in next weekend. Then the follwoing weekend is when we get to play in the woods! -Brian
July 24, 200619 yr Great video! I'm glad to see that you make good use of your approach angle clearance. Youtube is the place to be for sharing videos. What kind of camera do you use?
July 24, 200619 yr SWEET VID Brian, thats awesome. We had a lot of fun today, the Brat ran great, the hatch did pretty well for being 2 wheel drive. Fun stuff.
July 24, 200619 yr Great video! I'm glad to see that you make good use of your approach angle clearance. Youtube is the place to be for sharing videos. What kind of camera do you use? camcorder is a samsung scd-103 I believe, Im not sure of Brians digital camera, its a sony I believe.
July 24, 200619 yr Author Jibs has a Samsung SC-D353 MiniDV cam. Im thinking of buying one too cause its so easy to use and the video isnt half bad. And yeah, im VERY impressed with the way the hatch handles with its short wheelbase and the rear departure angle is great! -Brian
July 24, 200619 yr looks sweet, I'm loading the video now... Jibs...don't you get hassled for running around without a front bumper on there?
July 24, 200619 yr looks sweet, I'm loading the video now... Jibs...don't you get hassled for running around without a front bumper on there? yeah, but I'm workin on it. I should have one on soon, I'm gonna go see the guy who made my tube doors about making a bumper. Its funny, I remember paying someone a bunch of money for bumpers and a transmission a while back, but I haven't heard anything from the guy.
July 24, 200619 yr Author Jibs has video of me driving off the side and getting hung up. I really need to get my FWD working. -Brian
