|  new rock buggy.
Was more or less built around a k3. And to build as light as possible aLos building around a pair of wraith buckets.   I'd like to shorten the nose an inch or so. Might look into a k2 winch or maybe raise the windshield bar so batteries will slide under it and redo the nose back further. I'd then be I bale to run 4s with the winch on board  Last edited by evan03; 07-03-2014 at 05:48 PM. |

Thanks man, the nose is a little long but she's growing on me. Testing the k3. This is a bad ass winch Quick run on pit bull's, off course cut pits;). 3s with 200 kv has plenty of wheel speed to make some tighter turns then my steering allows. Digging this rig. Was worried it wouldn't handle well being over 8lbs. Last edited by evan03; 07-04-2014 at 09:18 AM. |

Thanks. Yes she has decent spit. Did a little crawling today. A rear tire was bound up more then I thought.  |

Preferring the pits on this chassis. I like the tall narrow stance. This stance provides a huge clearance advantage. The drivers tire is on a 1" wheel with a memory inner and a CI outer cut in half wrapped around it to put some more beef to the center. No vents. Passengers did has a full outer wrapped around a memory foam mounted on 1.2 wheel  .How pit bull's should be. This tire rocks now.     Last edited by evan03; 07-12-2014 at 03:36 PM. |

I couldn't stand the long nose anymore.     Still not sure I'm happy with it. Might get the winch bolted on today. Last edited by evan03; 09-21-2014 at 07:24 AM. |
