| Harley's LS Hero Rock Bouncer Like many others, I get sucked in watching these big piles of tube try and climb a hill with the finesse of a sledgehammer. Seems like something right up my alley. After hours of watching these videos I found a rig that I felt I wanted to loosely model my project after. Trenton Park's LS Hero. |

When you wear out that crawlmaster, a big block outrunner would look pretty good in it |

| Re: Harley's LS Hero Rock Bouncer The stock tires are stiff but I still liked them. The R35 versions are very nice though. Having a hard time not running swampers but I really like these BFG'S.

| Re: Harley's LS Hero Rock Bouncer The R35's are awesome, one of my favorite scale 2.2 tires. For RTR tires the S40 standard compound is pretty dang impressive, I think you found a perfect home for them.

| Re: Harley's LS Hero Rock Bouncer Yup, exactly the same way I felt. I was impressed with them even in the harder compound on the PSC Wraith. I think the lack of traction over the R35 versions will work well in this rig for pictures and video.

Working on mock up and such tonight, I threw it on top of the PSC Wraith. I'll be sticking with this same wheelbase I suppose. |

Nice to see you turning to the dark side Josh. KOH, SRRS, Redneck offroad...it's all good. It's hard not to appreciate a southern buggy. Nice work guys. Can't wait to see it pulled together. |
