Kalik, it was good to see you again, and I can't wait to see the pics! Thanks for offering to share them, whenever you can. Also, you mentioned lift, but I think you just meant ground clearance. My VX isn't lifted beyond stock clearance because you wouldn't run a marathon in hiking boots and you wouldn't do any serious hiking in running shoes. The stock VX is a cross-trainer that can do a bit of everything and do it well, and although I could make the VX be one heckuva hiking boot, then I couldn't do a lot of running in it.
These trucks are certainly not all style and no substance - they are pretty, yes, but they are very, very rugged. At the course it tends to get pretty rough in some places toward the end of the day, and the VX does not escape that. It's a rough ride out there for us too, and make no mistake about it - the VX's take a real pounding out there too. The difference is that they ride away no worse for the experience. Now as for me on the other hand, the left side of my knee is a little sore from banging against the door in some of those slides, but I'm so pumped full of adrenaline that I don't feel anything at the time. Ask Joe - I think I forgot to breathe or something during one of my runs at the rallycross before this. I got out of the VX staggering and had to sit down for a bit. LOL!
Joe said it all very well. I particularly liked what he said about it handling everything you throw at it and asking for more. That is so true. You can push, push, push, and the VX just seems to laugh at you and declare that it was born in that briar patch.
