It seem very balanced so far. I can sit it on it's side with out it falling over or even leaning. Thats with no Shock oil and soft Springs too. (I'm going to add oil. Just haven't done it yet.) The real test will be this weekend. I think I'm going to run this instead of my 2.2 Clod. The Kid thinks it's to cold...

Anytime.... As soon as the panthers come in and I switch foams. It'll be a winning combo for sure.

Got the Panthers mounted up. Used some Normal Foams, but I'm not even sure what they came out of... Got the Oil in the Shocks. 35w in the Front and 45w in the Rear..

I had Zero Torque twist.

I choice to run it in a Comp today over my 2.2 Clod. Wished I didn't, but ha. I needed to test and fine tune this rig now.

The First course I ended up in First with a total of 4pts. The 2nd course all hell broke loose for me. ESC was acting up, Can't get used to this no Stall that Shafties have. I kept saying to myself. My Clod would have been nice today. I didn't have dig either. Which I'm used to as well. I ended up in Dead last on the 2nd Course. Over all I came in 3rd place.

sounds like you should have ran your clod instead.

Well here it sits as it was ran at the Comp. Only thing that will change is the ESC as I think I screwed it up by dumping Shock oil on it before the last comp.

Just used the 3/8in Tubing. Remeber I have those Traxxas rodends on the Caps too. I can't remember how much weight I have in the Wheel/tire combo right now. I'll have to reweigh them and get back to you.

And Thanks

Update... The guy who bought this rig beat me at our last comp. he just didn't beat me, but Won with a -20 for the day. It's still pretty much the same rig too. All he did was change tires and ESC. He is even still running the TP946R Servo... The HellStrom chassis thats on it is still proving to be a Comp Leader after 2yrs...
