They are really soft in the center, but they don't fold over on sidehills. I think they rebound too fast though. :neutral:

I like some things about them. But, I wish the foam was a little firmer and rebound was slower. I'll probably end up going back to my tall skinny red Kreepy's.

maybe plug the hole (holes?) in your wheel and drill a really small one?

I think I can play with the foam set-ups and get them reacting how I want. More testing will tell.

Brad, did you shim your pinion's in your axle's? If so how much did you use. I did mine but I just want to compare notes. Thanks

I didn't use any shims. The gear mesh felt fine to me.

Looks great, took you years to master TLT axles and a couple of weeks to master Axials!

Need me to reconfigure those batts?

3 6 cell packs = 18 cells, 18 cells = 2 9 cell packs. You know you want the extra voltage.

Nah, I squeezed a 10 cell saddle pack on mine, but I do have the tlt offset wheels. Or just give in and go LIPO!

These are the lipos I was telling Jay about, I'm running the 20C one and love it. I'm going to order one of the 25C ones right now.

JRH sells their 15C ones so they must be good.

The lipos fit on the axle the best.
