I run the MSD aluminum beadlock wheels, with the heavy memory foams. So, I haven't really added much weight to the fronts, maybe a couple ounces per wheel. And I don't run an extra weight out back. Quote:

I started installing my new Vanquish dig today. So far I am really impressed with this unit. All stainless steel for strength, small overall size for narrow chassis' and the 2.5:1 ratio on the lever is sweet. I'm going to try and get a little testing in this weekend and report back. |

We watched scuzzy put the hurt on his Vanquish dig. Full bind up, full throttle fast on and off, and it never flinched. Amazing unit!

That is a "WORK OF ART". Is looks like the Axial factory made it.Can you run a normal size servo? I haven't seen the price yet. Have they released the DIG yet? If they price it right they will sell a ton of them. How did you do at Donner? |

That thing looks sweet. I run the SWX and all I have to say about it is that it's the best out there. My rig is one climbing SOB. This dig should be a perfect match. Dose it have to have a full size servo or will a mini work just as good. Will this thind fit in the SWX?

I got a chance to run the new VP dig this weekend for a bit. So far it's working awesome. I'm going to try and hit a few more crawl spots this week with it for some more in depth testing. |

I just read almost every page of the 46 pages and am very impressed it is almost as though Brad needs to just right a handbook for crawlers. Thankyou very much for all of the much needed info, I am not experienced enough yet to even consider giving advice or opinions but, this has been extremly informative thanks again brad...that new dig looks amazing |
