1.9s look better scale wise but the 2.2 will perform better plus there easy to swap

hey dudes! been tinkering with the rig.. mostly driving it!! mods iv done: -a crap version of handbros steering.. still with the y link setup i sheared mine while wheeling it pretty hard, had to do something -added some running light leds in the grill and rock lights on the front shock hoops thats about it i think i need to get some R2J 4 link trusses and some different shocks.. these seems to bind up on me and i want a little more flex out of it...anyway here is a few pics from the last few days.. fuzzy wheel speed pic lol |
