Thanks for the reply! For my application I have cut and shut the 1.9 fcII's down to 1.55, so my tire diameter is now 3.44" tall and 1.19" wide. Which of the crawler innovations foam inserts would you recommend ordering; single stage foam, dual stage, or dual stage for the pit bull tire? I presume whichever foam insert I choose I will need to custom fit the width of the inner foam and the height and width of the outer foam to my unique tire size?

I would order some dual stage 1.55 inners only and cut those down with a razor to fit. Knowing that they will be the single firmer closed cell foam only. Being that small you will have a hard time getting a dual stage foam to fit/work. If you want a dual stage that small you'll have to get creative.

Love it! The only thing I would do is cut the lower rear rocker behind the flare and add some steal side extension/ protection to the rear bumper.

Thanks for the info!! What is the outer diameter of the 1.55 inner closed cell foam? From what I gather you think the closed cell foam (from CI's 1.55 dual stage pit bulls) should fill out the reduced fcII's by them selves? From what I can tell by looking at pictures it looks as though the inner closed cell foams will to be too short for the height of my reduced tire, so I would still need a second stage to better fill it out...

The way the bumper mounts to the body and the bumper/body fits the chassis, as well as my steering servo placement, there is no way to have a bumper mounted winch or fairlead. Quote:

Montero worked well for it's capabilities in C1 at the Rocky Mountain Scale Nationals this past weekend. Really a C0 rig but it still surprises me how well it can crawl from time to time. Video from Caleb Scott, Montero is at 4:43. 1080p it |

I went to YouTube and watched a few more of his videos before I hit the sack. Tell him to get busy. Quality scale videos are rare. |

A few pics from the RC4WD Scale Challenge. Ended up 11th out of 20 or so drivers with this rig. Really a Class 0 setup but it does show out from time to time. We dont run Class 1 locally, so this rig will be sitting on the shelf for a bit now. |

Yah, for know. I setup the suspension pretty good when I built it. The steering geometry is correct but my throw is not maxed out but still works great. I have shaved the heck out of the housings. It’s running MIP axle shafts front in rear, so they arent going to break. Ultra rare and I have a back up set. I could swap out to some Bowhouse 170mm axles in the future but we’ll see. Should have a new set of wheels and tires here the next few days. | |
