I'm sold on them lol, I've built axial 8 holes and prolines... I won't ever buy anything other than gearheads

Still, were they easy to mount? I have some RC4WD tires that need a home now that I have Maxxis Trepadors mounted on my Steelies....

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHH I thought you said "I sold them"

And then I thought the "I've built axial 8 holes and prolines" meant you had proline tires on Axial 8 holes mounted on there now.....

They do look nice...if I wasn't downgrading (?) to 1.7"s I would get myself a set but I'm gunna try out the new RC4WD 1.7" Iroks on their old dually tractor trailer rims... Going for the ultimate scale look

I've built my buddies proline faultlines and a few sets of axial 8 holes lol

[-SCXD90-]

I might get faultlines for my beater tires..... Look like they they have death grip on the tire beads with all of those bolts lol

Looks good! I miss my mirrors but I ripped them off within minutes of mounting them again every time!

[Reejerey]

Are you using stock links? if so for what wheel base and if not what length are you running?

Sweet! I had the Tamiya mirrors super glued on.

Pulled the front end apart and found a trashed bearing, so ordered a fast eddy kit and rebuilt everything with the spool in the front. Haven't had a chance to test it yet

Great looking truck man. I think you might be able to get some more steering out of it if you put a bend in your steering link and extend it a bit. Do you find it's hitting the pumpkin or servo posts?

Nope, steering clears and truck steers to the limits of the servo. Truck actually turns very well
