| I had that problem with my drooped SW3, that's part of the reason I sprung the front, to get more downforce, especially when cresting a ridge. I hope to get to work on it some more in a day or so. I think I will lower it when I mount the electronics, I'd like it to sit between 2.5" and 3", but I suppose I really should test it like this first, although I think I know what it's gonna do.

I got the electronics mounted but haven't really run it yet, just around the floor to make sure everything works. I changed up the links and shock placement and dropped it down some. I decided not to use any stick weights in these wheels yet, they are heavy as they are. I think my Hammer tires will be shipping from RPP today so hopefully I'll get them by early next week. I just need to mount the side panels back on and do some testing. Plan to take it out this Saturday for some real crawling.

| Chassis Is BADDASS
That chassis looks so EVIL and Wicked i think that its not only is just a chassis but an extension of the way u crawl, it is aggressive and basically says here i come. I dig it and thanks for the threads about it, i enjoy reading about all the different set ups and cant wait to see more but, its rarity is also great. |

I take it you like them but I'm not sure what it is you are asking to see. I assume you already know they are made by Mayhem Engineering per the title of your post but here is a link anyway - http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106544, and yes they are beadlocks. Just explain what it is you want to see and I'll be happy to take some pics. | |

I think those M3 M2K's did better than expected too, but wouldn't you know the Hammer tires came in but I didn't have time to mount them. I'm kind of glad cuz now I can compare the two tires. I just need to decide what to do for next week's comp. I even managed to get a nice battle scar in the roof and the only real damage was a broken link (after a four foot fall, which I have on film) I've got some video of Colossus that I need to make a short vid out of, I may try to do that tonight. I had fun out there yesterday, glad you were able to make it out. | |

| Colossus Debut
Here is a short vid and some action (and damage ) pics from the first day of crawling for Project Colossus. The DCV/Pro from DMG performed great and I am very satisfied with its first day out. The last shot in the vid is where the rod end broke. I apologize ahead of time for the music, it was the two free songs on my new PC . Also some of shots are not that great, I was driving with one hand and filiming with the other. Vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKxz4w1Hmtw Pics |

| Thanks Mayhem! And so you know, I am loving these wheels, you can really hear the bearings rolling around, and as you can see, the weight helps my rig stick pretty well, even without Rock Claws. Quote:

It was just a little practice comp, nothing official, but Colossus did score the lowest score with a -6, 2nd place scored 10, so I was pleased. | ||
