Very nice boss. Good job on the parts breakdown & links. Good tech, the way it should be done. I hope some take notice. Also, that's the first grappler body I've seen that I like. Love the color, flows well with the whole rig. |

I love these puller motors. My last 2.2 comp rig had the 5 turn in it. I liked that motor, but running on 11.1V it got real hot real quick, and was only limited to 5 minute comp runs. The 10 turn stays super cool and still provides killer power and decent wheelspeed. I may have to try a 7 turn next, maybe it'll be the best of both worlds. Quote:

WOW!! $96.40.......Are they really worth it? I've been looking into these, but never figured up what they cost. I'm running Integy Piggybacks on my SW3, and they work great (and don't leak, which everyone tells me is unusual), but I keep bending the shafts on the two rear shocks. I guess I'll find out. Either I'll bite the bullet and order some, or I'll check yours out in person Jason at the Midwest Challenge. Also, what kind of belly clearance you got with that set-up. It looks really low. Mine is sitting right at 2 3/4" and yours looks lower. DX3R - is the third channel switch a stationary or a momentary switch? Last edited by redbaron; 12-31-2007 at 07:28 PM. | |

| I have a set of the shocks, they are smooth and hopefully they last a while. Bender runs them. That should be enough to make you buy some, right?!. Quote:

| Well Brad, your comments in your build thread is what got me looking at these shocks. I've never paid more than $30 for a set of 4 shocks. BUT....I've never been 100% pleased with any of them either. These are off a XXX, correct? Rears? Anywhere else to get them as an assembled package, maybe cheaper?

I have heard from someone (Bender ), that the 3rd channel switch returns to center, like the DX3. You can click it once, and the 3rd channel will stay in that position. I assume that if you click it back the other way, it will stay in that position, having 3 total positions. I can't wait for this radio. |

Jason had it set-up so when you hit the 3rd channel switch once, the R2D goes into front wheel drive with neutral at the rear axle. Then, you hit it again in the same direction to lock the rear wheels. Back the other way once for neutral again, then again for 4wd. I drove it briefly last night and it works great. | |
