| ![]() ![]() ![]() So the cut n shut M2K Pro-Line Mashers had to go. 1st reason is so it could be legal for class 2 competition and also because local guys would complain because they worked so well. So I installed a set of RC4WD 1.9 Rok Lox that have been belt sanded internally, both the side walls and the back side of the tread. Next I grooved the tire tread and cut out the lugs into a new pattern. I installed Crawler Innovations Lil' Nova 4.25" - 4.50" Dual Stage Foams. The wheels are Mayhem and are 3/4 wide. The front wheels have 3 ounces added each and the rears have 1.5 ounces each added to them. The tires and foams work awesome ![]() ![]() 10mm headlights really brighten the night up ![]() ![]() ![]() Gavin has already really tested the cage work ![]() ![]() I replaced the rear link plate I had made for this truck with a Dinky link. It didn't last that long and it broke. I contacted Dinky R/C and Matt replaced the broken link with his new Solid Steel link. We haven't tested it out yet, but it's heavier that the original design and seems much stronger ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Tractor Supply Store tool boxes are just wonderful. This box had held the battery in on numerous rollovers and it's so scale looking. Eventually I want to upgrade this truck to a Mamba Max Pro ESC so we can run 4S on it. The 4S battery packs we use for our Wraith fit in these tool boxes perfectly. On a scaler like this, I get nearly two hours of drive time on a 4S 1300 Mah Lipo. ![]() Crawler Innovations Low Clearance Black Delrin Links on the front lowers and Crawler Innovations High Clearance Black Delrin Links for the rear lowers: ![]() ![]() Last edited by Nova's Ark; 09-07-2011 at 02:18 PM.

Lovin' that wheel and tire combo. The lug cutting make the tire more scale and gives them a rounder profile. Did you do any side lug sanding? Looks like "My-First-Ever-Time-To-Braze" front lower bumper made it to the 4th rebuild. I built it for my driving style, bash into everything. | |

The 6x6 build is going to be "epic" according to Clay. It has a huge list of new parts for the build along with a couple proto type parts as well. I'm hoping it will be done before the Crawler Innovations G6 cash comp on October 8th. I did belt sand these tire on the sidewalls. These modified 1.9 Rok Lox tires are much better than the RC4WD 1.9 IROKS. I have the IROKs on my daughter's 1.9 Jeep (I still need to do a build thread on the Jeep because Carter Fab & Machine did the tube work and boat sides on it). Even with all the belt sanding and lug trimming, the Rok Lox is wwaaayyyy better. The IROK has a very thick tire carcass with rougher rubber and there is only so much you can do to it. You and Gavin drive scalers similarly then ![]() ![]() ![]() | |

The re re re re ?? build looks great. Can't wait to hang out with you guys again. ![]() I do have question. When you grooved the roc lox in the photo, did they work better then stock ? I been thinking about grooving the middle lugs and shaving the inside of the tires. ![]() |

We are to! October 8th can't get here fast enough. As for the tires, grooving them as pictured above made a big improvement over stock. However removing lugs really woke this tire up. Internal belt sanding helps a lot. | |

Mine are stock with your foams. So far they been great, but I know there always room for improvements. I'm going to groove them first go from there.

| ![]() It's been a long time since I've updated this little trucks build thread. It's still alive and well. I will get to pictures and details later, but in the meantime here's a video of it: |
