Oh I see how it is.. Sunday funday but no call. :( lol I got out Saturday, snow was crusty so was able to get around but had to watch it cause if I spun it would dig it's self in. I bet being stock it helped since weight is low. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

We got to the trail head around 2:30 pm and ran till about 5:30. It got pretty cold up there... My rig did the same, A nice crust, but if I spun I would dig in. Cory and his massive 2.2's could climb just about anything he pointed his truck at. Love my Tsl's, They stuck lines I didn't think were possible, and even when I broke through the crust, continued to provide forward movement. I really need to finish my F650. | |

I finally got power to mine and it is all "wobbly" as it drives around. Took the wheels off and checked what I could, then re-seated them and still happening. I will try another set of tires tonight but I emailed Axial anyway. |

The actual wheels are not wobbling, it is the tires on the wheels. If you take the wheel off the truck and "massage " the tire, you can feel the foam slide around in the tire. Massage it until everything is straight, then repeat for the other tires, as needed. Or you can leave it and as the foam breaks in and gets softer, it will center itself eventually.

Mine are glued pretty solid all the way around. The massage will be much easier, I even do it on my bead lock rims, when I find I have a tire wobbling. | |

I am just going to run mine (on 3s) until something fails. I have about 10 miles on mine, with zero issues so far. I did loose a body clip off the front on the trail yesterday. Last edited by lonleycreeper; 01-15-2018 at 12:01 PM. | |

I made some brackets to eliminate the rear body posts in the back, allowing me to drop the front of the body 2 holes further down. I also removed the bumper lift brackets. Crummy dark photo of the bracket. And a little better one. And new ride height. Race car Style! It's to cold to be painting right now. :( Last edited by lonleycreeper; 01-16-2018 at 03:29 PM. |

I am finally happy with the ride height myself, but I did notice, I have to adjust the panhard bar. The front axle is pushed out to the right half a inch. The bumper is a love, hate thing. Many love to hate it. I dont mind it, maybe because I like prerunners, and this style bumper was very common back in the late 90's. It is massive, and not particularly sturdy. But it flexes when hit and being sloped up it lifts the front up snow and logs. | |
