Extremely fawking happy with the way things are turning out. Gonna leave the rear alone other than a swaybar link change and focus on electronics placement next. Drive shaft angkes are the best I've ever had and everything is cycling really smooth on the bench.

Dlux knuckles are on but I didn't think about the taller chubs on a xr so what was minimal clearancing is now turning into major. Off to walmart for more sanding drums.

Good thing the comp is in the morning

First impression of the Growlers.. Disappointment

They're not as big as I was hoping. If it's not a magical compound I'll be back to trepadors.

Stock foams felt stiff and I had some major wheel hop but every new tire has done that on my rig and I only ran about 1000mah before I shredded the bec on the spur gear.

Won the 1.9 g6 with 2wd and a broken lower link
Won the 2.2 g6 with 1.9 tires
Won a scx10 deadbolt in a raffle
Locked the transmission up in the u4

Growlers seem to love wheel speed. Couldn't get them to slow crawl like I want but break in should fix that.

Dig installed
Duuuuuuuude link mounts fit like a glove
Removed the fat girls so I can access wheel spacers
Played a little with shock angles and oil but went back to what I had.
CI closed cell inners with custom outers
New electronics layout that places everything on the skid.
Couple shitty pics showing upper link clearance.

Hoping to run it in the 2.2 pro class this Sunday. I'm that confident in this rig.

With that said.. I'm working with a very talented chassis builder so in 6ish weeks I'll be bouncing in Bombshell.

Gonna run this in the 2.2 PRO class this Sunday.
It won't be a legit score but I'll be bragging about it

Things to do:
Finish electronics trays
Solder the rest of my 360mah packs
Find a good home for some JMRC license plates
Organize tool / screw trays
Put a fuse on the dig linkage
Bump bec to 6.9v
Play with timing / boost

Dang man, I thought you were gonna run in it in 2.2 trail. 2.2 Pro should be interesting. I guess if you beat my xr10, I need to find a new hobby

I'm feeling lucky and confident with dig and if I break I'll fix it during 2.2 trail.
