Micro Pro came in today! I got it running and it's at the best I've ever had it! Love the new tire tread, and the articulation is perfect!

Here's some pics from the morning crawl! All of these were taken in my big backyard

looking sweet as can be....

question for you Mitchell...have you ever tried any Sedonas...if so how do they compare to what you are running now ? From a looks standpoint yours look better, but we all know how that works....

Yup I've tried Sedonas. They're great tires, but I didn't like them that much. They definately have there place, but these cut BCs that I'm running now do much better. You're running Sedonas aren't you?

Ok, I did what Camo said, and the shocks are inverted, and the servo is now flipped. The performance is noticable between before and after!

Highlucks · 10-21-2011, 11:35 PM

Nice work bro

Postclanker · 10-22-2011, 12:33 AM

Yes, I'm running sedonas... I like them. I'd cinsider a set of those though. Flipping the servo was noticeable ??

cboggs · 10-22-2011, 01:47 AM

Looks good, but where are the body panels? Would look sick in blue to match those wheels.

jimmyshor · 10-22-2011, 01:55 AM

Where did you buy the rear axle weights ? How's the system called ?

You getting full throw with that short servo arm? I tried a similar arm and simpy could not get full lock to lock on my XR. I had to use a fairly long arm in order to achieve my steering needs.

Postclanker · 10-22-2011, 07:17 PM

I wasn't a big fan of switching either....I did invert my shocks, seemed to respond better

jimmyshor · 10-23-2011, 02:10 AM

Thanks for the info mate! It seems they're out of stock as we speak. Keepin' an eye on the thread for further updates !

Yup it seems like the servo has to work less to get to full lock. You should try it out! And situations where the horn would have normally hit the rocks, it doesn't.

I'm working on that. Just working up a little to get some skins from Krawler Koncepts

What Postclanker said. They're Sven Rear Lockout weight holders. The best rear weight system out there IMO.

Yup! Full throw and then some! The arm isn't as short as it looks.

Yup loving the inverted shocks! Now switch that servo around and see if you like it!

Michelle is now working on my skins so it won't be naked to much longer!

Postclanker · 11-10-2011, 07:46 PM

I still think some sort of reptile would be good...I'm not the artist I wish I was though....
