| Re: KJ's Heavy Chevy" I know right? makes you hate anything else. They are super smooth, if geared right don't use too much extra mah, and hardly get hot in a c1,c2 rig. but at 300$ a pop for a mmp, pro4 for each rig thats a pretty penny, not to mention all the supporting mods a pro4 needs, mip's, rr trans, hd gears and aftermarket lockers. So your looking at least 500$+ per rig if they aren't already beefed up. lol kinda a kick to the nuts.

Yeah man. The difference is like when I went from 55t on 7.2 nimh batteries to a 27t on 3s Lipo. Luckily every rig is ready for one. They are all upgraded running mmps and 17.5 or 18.5s. But I'm still looking at $450 in motors. Come on uncle Sam. Send me my tax return lol. I think my scalers will stick with the 17.5s. The 18.5s will be up for sale soon

Gave the wraith a little facelift today, replaced the wraith seats with another set of recaros and simpson racing belts, and it got a new coat of a nice flat black paint |

Where did you find the Recaro seats? I have Recaro in my 1:1 Evo, so it'd be sweet to put them in the Wraith also.

Been following this one for quite some time. Looking really good. I need to get a nice body soon. Wraith panels just don't do it for me anymore.

still on the fence about the rock beasts, dont get me wrong they are great tires, but Its crawled near impossible spot with the tsls, so i did some trading around and got another set of remachined monster and a set of tsls, also ordered a set of 5.5 double deuce foams from cralwer innovations . should all be here tomorrow. this way i can swap tires in and out without having to remount them, Ill actually be able to test these pitbulls a little better and see what works better

I am very interested to hear your thoughts on the TSL vs Pitbull tires.

Taking this down to Percy priest dam this weekend and gonna do some tire testing. Suppose to be dry and 60. Finally time to see if the pits will outshine the tsls.
