I realized I spooled the winch the wrong direction, so I paid attention to how much line was actually on there this time. How does 18' of usable line sound lol

Got my new shocks done tonight and made a ball hitch on the rear bumper. Rock lights are good for taking pictures of shocks in bad lighting lol.

Nope. I've had a set with 30wt on my old comp crawler and never had an issue of leaking. I've got 50wt on the truck so I don't expect any at all

Finally got out and did some scaling today. All alone but still fun. Did some exploring around Samuel S Lewis Park and had a blast! All ready for the scale comp on Oct. 3rd.
I personally think these are the best pics I've ever taken of the truck. Lovin the new shock setup too!

Got some Losi Carver tires today. They are the same (and actually licensed by them) as Pit Bull Rock Beasts, but only 5.1" instead of 5.5". These things are grippy as hell. Came with memory foams as well which is really nice. Also converted all the rod ends (except steering) to Traxxas ends because the Axial's were getting REALLY sloppy.

What a great build I like those tires, are they the same size as the F/I's and do they perform better? What size are the shocks?

Thanks! The tires are a little taller than the FI's. Haven't run them yet but 0they feel a lit grippier. Shocks are 90mm
