Thanks Randy! work in progress..

After getting wheel time in yesterday, I think a longer rear shock is in order, if I plan on doin any open class or class3 stuff this season.. real quick to get high centered, not that a bit of throttle blip didn't cure some of that.. the skid makes a heck of a noise as it slams into a rock to get the a$$ end over it tho..

Overall..

Very impressed! Most with the pitbulls.. they hooked great! Wet shall, loose gravel on top of frozen ground under, etc, etc..

I do see the bell clearance a issue but also ok.. each situation will lead to diff indeavors..

Its not as deep of red as I would like(so i have some more deeper red coming) but it sure will be easier to see out running! The camo was a little tuff to keep track of..

Thanks 450! It runs incredibly well for going, it needs a longer shock in the rear or a cap mod for some length for crawling.. high centers on a golf ball at slow crawl(not that a little blip of the throttle doesnt deal with it most of the time)

I'm running CI 6" foams with soft outers on all 4 corners.

I'm pretty stoked about the new HH products. A servo of the caliber, for the price, seems killer!
It has a tuff act to follow. I'm running either a 7980 or 7950 in all my rigs, so performance will be put to the task.

Awesome to hear! Break it! Rebuild it..

Yep, it sheared the axle off at the pin. All fixed now..

Shock mod next in line.. (behind the other rigs now, since the Sexo is running it can stay running, for now)

Many tries till I found the sweet spot and smashing the front axle into the bottom till it smoothed off pretty nice.

Matt, the cage got new life atleast.. and a wonderful life it is, for it!

Syncro, Thnx.. its got, what seems to be a perfect amount of flex..
I still have to figure out how to get some rear clearance. Either drop the shock mounting point of the chassis or give it a shock cap mod. Either way, I need some drop out in the rear.

I had a hell of a good time! Next move will be some snow tires or chains.. maybe some old stock axial rock hard tires and run some spikes thru em.. I've a good amount of fun in frozen ponds and ice this year, but I want more traction! So ready for dirt an rock's to okay on!

So, the Pro4 isn't so happy.. any suggestions?

It was working great the day in the snow, from above.. now, not so much.. took it out and ran it for 5 mins or so and all a sudden it stopped..
When I hit the throttle, it's taken power but making a grunting noise, like it's in a bind, and not moving the rotor..

I figure I got the sensor board wet and it's just not acting right?
Anyone got any thoughts on it? I haven't pulled it yet or ever took one apart.. I guess it's time to do that..
