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.

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 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. [ Last edited by redrustbucket; 10-30-2017 at 05:11 PM. |

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.
