Just saw your post to me. I guess the app didn't show me that I had a comment. How'd the pick up go? We love our Sabre, even though it's at a dealer right now getting some minor warranty work done. As for the JT Strongarms, we haven't gone without, but I think thy help a lot. I use x-chocks and the JT's and sometimes put the tripod under the pin. The tripod was more to comfort the wife(she was concerned that the front of the fiver would fall...;0 )
We've had our Sabre for just over a yeay, and a grey wolf TT for the two years before that. We found ourselves camping so many nights we decided to get the Sabre and have some more room.
LOVE IT! Got into RC to have something to bring along and I've gone a bit overboard! Traxxas Slash, mini E-Revo, Mini Summit, Two E-Maxxes, two 1/24 scale micro losi's, and a 1/18th RC18....got the addiction bad, but my kids love them too so that helped justify some of them.
Happy Campin!
