Thanks bud that helps a lot really!!!
I have been running swampers for some time now. I cut every other lil lug in middle for more forward bite plus it cleans out better! Now I have them all gone but larger lug in center, I'm thinking this will improve in both areas. I got claws on the way for more clearance for the wraith & continue using swampers in higher speed lower stance situations...

Default Tars

Those look good. I'm sure they hook better now. You'll like the height and grip of the Claws but you'll miss the longevity and durability of those TSLs. Don't part with them.

Default Pro4 finally chewed up her bearings

No complaints at all. Good old NMB bearings lasted a year or so of entertaining abuse. Awesome motor.



Guess I can mill some goodies while she's down.

Thank you so much Captain VP!! Awesome work. I hope you and the mystery recipient of the third set enjoy them. Man these look good.

Six blocks purchased and sent to VP.




Amazing Heavenly-75 beauties.



Thanks again. I'm looking forward to building a complete new set of axles off of these.

Yes.

And now after witnessing what real designers and machinists can do in their spare time, back to my lame ass creations.

From rod to bar.









Hope to finish tonight.

Cutting aluminum. Use 2 flute end mills if can. Much better results. I guarantee.

Are those last two posts what thread spam look like?

Anyway, finished up my drag link arm. This one shouldn't bend.

You've got me curious about using something similiar to get the tie rods up above the axle a ways in hope of keeping them from hanging up on the rocks and etc..

How are you liking it so far? Got a pic of the complete front end with that on there?
