ARCC Comp 1, Course 3. It was pretty tame other than the last gate. I spent like 2 minutes before I finally squeezed through it. ARCC 2.2 SPORTSMAN COURSE3 SZCZERBA - YouTube Watching the videos, this truck really "snaps" around on the turns. I think it's due to the added caster, Overdrive and underdrive gear set, as well as the 90t spur I run. Gears the truck down to get great torque but just enough wheel speed to get me out of trouble. It's truely a middle of the road setup for me. 50% torque with 50% wheel speed, if that makes sense. Last edited by Szczerba; 01-18-2012 at 05:55 PM. | |||

I love it. Your line on gate 6 course two is awesome. I would have almost tried to drive straight through it, then said to myself, "ahahhaa I'm smarter than that"! Of course, that would be followed with a reverse and a turn around. Except instead of taking a brilliant line from the back side of the pile up and over so you can descend through the gate, you can bet I would have tried to climb up and through that gate - probably taking out 2 markers. Great vids! |

That last gate was pretty brutal, it sure proves you little buggy's got some low end grunt. Seems like middle of the road is where everything ends up anyway. |

Took a dremel to the XR-10 universals. No more "hopping" on full lock. All is smooth now. While cleaning up the wheels and tires I wanted to check out where the balance point was RTR. Pretty good. ![]() | |||

AKA CityBlock Evo's (soft) with shaved sedona sidewalls. Made up some new tires. No internal sanding and no lug cutting, as of now. The Evo's have a smaller step pin lug. No sure if any lug cutting will be needed. They are just bigger than a khaos-rover and just wider. Mounted on SLW's with CrawlerInnovation's foams and no weight they are right about 8.5 oz . That is with not internal sanding and no lug cutting. The inside has a criss-cross ribbing. The shaft collar on my front driveshaft popped off 2 of 4 courses until I finally got it put back on snugly. Had to take repairs. I ended up 3rd, out of 4 sportmans. ![]() Tires worked just as good as the Khaos on the berg comp rig did. This rock is semi-slick with areas of grip and areas of snot-slick. Running CrawlerInnovation's closed cell 5.5" setup inner foams, narrow. With CrawlerInnovation's medium outer in rear and soft outers up front. No tuning rings.

If they worked as good as your tuned Khaos/Rover tires and they are uncut or sanded I'd say you just raised your bar, not bad Shane. Your balance looks very good to. ![]() |

Tires look good ![]() I can see some advantages to the extra width. |

I will not be cutting any of the pins. The step pin design actually spaces the lugs pretty good. The top lugs flex already and if I cut the whole step pin off, they would just fold over. Right now they kinda hit each other when the pin gets flexed. I didn't even have to change hubs. The tires just barely get into the big bore shock bodies at full lock. | |

So I've been running narrow wheels all the way around, and like the way the rear tracks. Have you tried narrow rears with the wide fronts? After seeing this build, and the videos of this truck I'm totally impressed, I'm going with some width on the front tires...but keeping the narrow rears ![]() |
