I bought my first crawler over a year ago and now I own the shop and crawl almost everyday. I see all kinds of new stuff happening so I TOTALLY feel like a newbie and probably always will. Now if I could just get rid of those 1st course at the comp jitters!!

rbgerrish: "Oh, I forgot to mention that using 2.2" wheels and tires on TF axles would be similar scale-wise to running go-kart tires on a Dana 60! The axle would get hung up on everything. You'd be much happier with larger tires, say LST or MGT tires. " |

Toyofast: "I'm not pushing to sell our stuff... I'm just giving GOOD information about a new chassis for the TLT based crowd If you feel like I'm selling, I better leave the site because I'll talk about products(ours and other businesses) for crawlers, since people need to be informed about places to buy parts, get service and where to go for solid information about crawlers in general. I'd like to say that myself and my business partner(s) are a great place for a wealth of RC crawling knowledge. We started the first crawling comps in the states, ask anyone! " |

Clod Krod (from Clod Talk, referring to my Kongs) This is my all time favorite!!!! Maybe I should go back on their boards. "simply amazing dirk. they look great man, and i agree about not using them on txt axles as well. Glad to see you on the boards! MAtt" |

My response! Ah.....the year 2004 seemed like yesterday!! Dirk: "Well, Preliminary testing says that they work as good as they look. First thing that was a must was to cut the lugs into a new tread pattern to loosen up the tire carcass. Second, and possibly the most important was to set the tire up with the proper foams. With the new tall and narrow design, the soft sidewall would let the tire flex latterally onto itself. It would just fold right over and the wheel would touch the ground! Cutting up some foams to eliminate this problem was key....and worked great. The tires now flex and bite as well as any tire I have used. I dumped a few BB's in to weigh them down, as they are fairly light now with the large center section removed, combined with the light weight RPM wheel. I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you are using wide axles like the Xfactor's. I can fit my whole fist under the axle tubes(forgot to measure with a ruler). Another thing I like was that after cutting many of the lugs off of the tire and smoothing it with a Dremmel, it gives the tires even more of a narrow appearance. They look awesome!" |

Griz: "OMG...Digler!...I thought I was safe from you here in the land of no driveshafts . Agreed, there are nicer. I am just hoping it can hang with the big boys. Surferboy, thanks for the compliment. I did fab the frame myself, I built a jig to keep it true while I welded it together. And thanks for the welcome. 132NHAF, Digler is right..boy I hate saying that , it does have shocks. They are cantilevered at the top of the frame rails. For slow crawling it is ok without shocks but when ya gotta "give 'er the onion" over stuff it would bounce out of control. You wouldnt believe how freely the sus moves with just the springs. Thanks for the compliment though." |

I'm still using those axles, and stumbled across the side plates the other day. Holy rewind |
