yeah, the red leafs are soft. as why i said good for some "slow" crawling.. they wrap up on ya in a heart beat if ya gun it with a faster motor. i think i bent mine the 1st time out.. added a longer leaf to the rear set and it helped out. |

 What's that? Naw, I'm learned to ease up with this leaf spring setup. I tried the red springs with the small helper out back and still got ultra wrap, slow crawling. Then I started looking at my pinion angle and the leaf wedges.Dremeled down the rear wedges a bit and turned them the other way. It's a temporary fix cause the pinion is drooping down now. Just wanted to fix it before the NWARC comp tomorrow. Definitely noticed the increased forward traction. The red springs feel alot more consistent. Left them up front for now and went back to the hilift with one small helper out back. | |

Swapped out to all red leafs with medium hi-lift helpers. A little firmer ride right now but work alot better. Couple shots of the sanded sidewalls breaking in. I lowered my throttle EPA to 80% to help with my spaz-tastic driving style. Slowed down my driving alot and has helped crawling with the 1.55" setup. Tires are wearing in nice. Still running stock foams. |

Good wheel time at Petit Jean Mtn. State Park and Roland Rockshop's ORV. 1.55 Stompers are wearing in and working good. Tested the 1.9 MTZ's and was really impressed with them too. Quick pictures and a quick video. |

Woah! That looks like a helluva place to run! New stuff looks great Shane. Best F-Toy Ive seenFor some reason video says it contains EMI? Which is blocked in my country? Is Georgia a different country from Arkansas? |

I was excited to see this run and got totally hyped when the flute started. Excellent track choice. Love the rock setup.

Thanks for the comments. Just a couple pictures from wheeling at LRC. The 1.55 Rock Stompers are a perfect match for the LRC rock type. They are wearing in nicely too. Last edited by Szczerba; 09-11-2012 at 07:09 AM. |

Thanks. It's really fun to drive. Pair the 1.55's with the leafs and it makes for a fun challenge on the rocks. I was just wheeling it today. I usually sell my trucks after a while but I'll hold onto this one for a while. But don't quote me on that | |
