That thing is AWESOME! Hope to see that truck in person someday....

Let's bring it up for air for some of our newer members, or our older members with new rides!

Question for AMG - are you replacing the broken spring pack with another take-out, or are you taking the pack to a spring shop to be repaired?

Looks great! Nothing beats an electronics/radio shelter all restored and operational...

Sigh...I miss the days when our combat ships had big guns on them. Now they look like a B-movie prop and fight the enemy with harsh language.

A tracked vehicle on rocky ground will throw a track in short order. Rausch Creek and tracked vehicles, even if RC staff say okay, isn't a good combination. If this were Haspin or GA rally, where there aren't many rocks, I'd say otherwise. But I really don't think someone with a $100K tracked...

It looks like a general purpose power supply, not meant for any specific radio set, in order to power 12 and 24V DC radios with 115 AC household voltage. There are units throughout the 1950s to the 1980s that did this, most are heavy beasts because the transformers inside needed to convert the...

Can you take a couple pics of it?

Had a great time again, always a blast at Rausch Creek. The weather was good, we were able to have a campfire this time, and noone's truck got seriously damaged. One gent had to go to the hospital for an injury sustained while wrenching in the parking lot, but after a short hospital visit he...

Packed up for the most part - have to stay around here until 1pm, I have to work at the family farm around noon and get things squared away tractor-wise since I won't be there this weekend to do it. Have to stop in Frederick MD on the way up to pay a bill. Should be there around 5pm or so...

Some folks have brought campers with them for convenience, however I will say this: MV owners tend to be pretty rugged folks. If you can't handle a little cool weather and some very modest sleeping quarters in the back end of your trucks, what are you doing? I will be coming up a little later...

Yay! The M105 trailer is full height!

Got any road cones? Put out a bunch of road cones and run the rope/whatever along the tops of the cones.

Wow, awesome vids! Bet you are proud of that truck, you have put a lot of work into it and now that it moves (and moves well!) bet you can't wait to make it's first long journey in it! That beast actually sounds very quiet - the second video barely records any interior noise. How does it...

I have owned both an M100 trailer, and several M416 trailers. IIRC they looked identical, I would guess the M100 version could be used on the M416 without any problems. If there are minor problems with fitting, like width in the "groove" perhaps it can be remedied with a grinder to make it work?

Eat beans for dinner and sleep in a warm sleeping bag. Heat yourself. :D

The LEAST number of people we had at this rally was 5 trucks and 6 guys, but that was the first rally and it was kinda a test run. Since then we regularly get 10-20 trucks and 15-30 people. Big enough for a showing, but small enough to keep it personal. Less than a week to go!

2 weeks to go, guys! Anyone showing up on Friday with plans to wheel? Or is everyone who is showing up on Friday coming in late and only plan on wheeling on Sat. and Sun.? We need to plan someone getting there early and roping off our spot with cones and rope...

Looks pretty good!

Many thanks to moving chicane, and dk8019 and his wife, for coming out for the Torsk work weekend, you all did a heckuva job and from what Mike E. the chief of the boat told me, this was one of the most successful work weekends yet. A record number of participants, and a record amount of tasks...
