See you at Lone Star.
Thanks for the complement. The kids worked hard to keep everything neat.

We did use "Faston" type tabs for quick connects. We have used the for a few years on out motor controllers with good success. A controller can be swapped out quckly and they seem to hold pretty well. In years past we had fully insulated female connectors, but this year we just used regular female spade connectors and some shrink wrap to keep everyitng insulated. The talon you mentioned on the rear framerail is for our intake motor. The talon you see next to it goes to what hopes to be a climbing mechanism.

Currently we are at about 119 lbs without the climber so we are trying to diet and if that doesn't work make some tough decisions about to climb or to shoot high.

Looking forward to keeing you at Lone Star.
