Default Punk Rock 45.0

Made some changes to my old build. Swamper XLs and Proline Powerstroke Scaler shocks. Had to mod the chassis a bit to fit the shocks. I have some slight binding in the rear suspension with the longer shocks. I think it's mostly due to how short the links are and some bad geometry. I would have added this update to my old build thread but apparently Photobucket sucks balls now. Still some stuff to finish and electronics to add but I thought people might like to see what it looks like now. Oh yeah, it's red now.

Thank you. Maybe I'll go with a divorced set up on the next rebuild.

These rims and tires are a bad combo with that motor on 3s, PVC mod and all. I love the look of them but I may change them. I think RC4WD has a new version but I don't know if they're any better with these tires? I'd like a set of Walker Evans that are true beadlocks preferably in aluminum if they're available from anyone. I think I've seen a set or two before?

Looks really good, I agree an aluminum beadlock would look nice on here.

I'm voting for some 1.9 LOCKED UP RC Rock Cutter beadlocks. They always look good on a Yota build!

I'm leaning towards Vanquish Method Roost wheels if I swap. I think they will work with these tires. Can't quite tell if they're inner clamping beadlocks? Anyone have experience with this wheel and tire combo. Saw a video on YouTube of them being mounted on regular size Proline Swampers.

Got the sway bar hooked up, thought it it would fix the issue I'm having with the suspension tuning (keeps traction rolling) but no luck really.
