I love the tires!!! Night and day. I heard a lot of great things about both the Losi Claws and the Rovers. Hard choice but I went with the Rovers. The extra dif clearance is nice and holy hell I did not realize how HARD those Rock Lizards are until I compared them to the Rovers. Anyway, very happy with the tires, I definitely recommend them.

Good deal on the blue powder coated frame!!

Thanks well glad to hear you are addicted and loving it! Yeah huge diff with the losi's also! Amazing how much more traction i get. I couldnt climb my front concrete steps with the stocks and with the losi's it just crawls right up!

Yup, just like 1:1 a tire can make a rig

Went out to a sweet river spot to crawl, China Dam. Water is still moving a little too fast and cold as ice but there was more water flowing than I expected, so the river season shouldn't be too bad this year, I hope :crossed:

The Axial has been tweaked a little bit. I flipped the shocks upside down for the hell of it. Cut and lowered the body, and shortly after these pics were taken hooked up a front axle saddle battery.

Haha yeah they are nice ramps, can only get away with using them once and a while though

A while back I relocated my on/off switch to sit on the end of the three link, right above the axle. The wires fit pretty snug and were tied on and out of the way and for the last 3-4 months it has been fine.

Well last night I was wheeling pretty hard, and in a nasty bind, super flexed out, apparently a pin came loose in my rear driveshaft, slid out and caught the wire that goes from the on off switch to the receiver. My truck suddenly stopped responding and I came to find the wire wrapped around my drive shaft, but not broken or pulled out.

Am I going to have to replace the entire reciever, wire and on/off switch or is this repairable? The wire does not appear to be damaged just stretched a little. Does not work though.

Any input?

receiver switch? what kind of receiver are you using?

Oh yeah duh. Yeah its just the stock axial one. And I answered my own question, looks like it pulled loose on the inside and needs to be re-soldered on as long as the wire is not ruined.

[IDnewcrwlr]

o ok sweet, yea if thats wat happend just solder or attach it back and it should be fine. if you cant solder (like me ), same thing happend to me a while back and i just wrapped the black and red wire ends together so when a battery is plugged in it automatically gets power and is ready to go, i ran mine like that for a while and didnt have any issues, but dont know nothing at all bout the axial esc, so dont mark my words lol. .. .

Alright, NEW problem. Rig has run great the last few months without any issues, then suddenly, the other night, THIS started to happen.

I was out wheeling on my pile of rocks, everything was working great. All of a sudden, my response started to get really jerky, I would give it gas and it would lurch forward, very jerky and unresponsive. I took it off the pile on flat ground and started to drive it, and as soon as I give it throttle, it cranks the wheels to the hard left, and just wants to drive in a circle. It jerks erratically and as soon as you give it throttle turns the wheels hard left and only goes back to straight once you let off the throttle.

Seems like interference maybe? Nothing has changed and I have been wheeling it in its current state for about 2 months without changing anything. Just happened all of sudden out of no where. Any ideas???

[fortysixandtwo]

No ideas???

[fortysixandtwo]

Seemed to be some interference. Redid some wiring and it seemed to clear it up.

No new updates other than I blew up my integy 55 turn motor at the ocean wheeling last week. Borrowed a 65 turn from a friend to try out to decide if I want to stick with 55 or move up to 65.
