That guy is tough! He used a staple gun to patch himself up?


Love this Wrexo!

They could just be cosmetic.

I wasn't trying to be a smartass.

True story, BTW.

Wow

[JasonInAugusta]

OK, back on topic.

A package was delivered to the cave today.

RC4WD Hitman 2.2s


Clearance with Wraith hexes and Exo knuckles.




...and a more updated tool has been acquired.

Wheels look killer!! How well does that helping hand work? I bought one off ebay about a month ago and it down right SUCKS. I need a helping hand to help my helping hand...

[JasonInAugusta]

It works well.

The soldering class I taught for the military used a similar set-up. Two clips on a stand for basic connections and repairs.

Once you learn how to manage them and place things, they're a real time-saver.

[frdtrkguy]

When you get the tires mounted I'm curious to see what your track width ends up.

[JasonInAugusta]

I'll get measurements when I get the actual tires I'll be mounting to these on hand.

For now I stuck a couple of the Ripsaws on to see what it will look like with the Hitmans.

I like it.

Those look awesome. What's the outside width with the Ripsaws if you have a minute? I ask 'cause that's what i'm using.

Thanks

[JasonInAugusta]

Front: 12 5/8"
Rear: 11 3/4"

That's with stock Wraith hexes.

I've got some hex hubs on the way to adjust track width out back.

[GMV]

Thats a badass truck you got there!

[Hittman]

Those are some nice wheels

[Landcruiser 110]

those wheels are beautiful, why dont you like ripsaws?, IMO they are a fantastic tyre!

[bmf24]

woudnt it be better for steering if the rear stayed narrower than the front?

Scale build, scale tires. Keepin the Ripsaws - they work so well.

I have rear steer. Width isn't a huge concern as far as steering goes. I do want the wider track for high-speed stability.

And I'm OCD.
