j/k hay how hard were your tires to mount to those wheels? mine were a pain i gave up on them for now.
what foam you got in them?

They mount right up if you know how

. It took me about and hour and a half to mine. I'm running NW #8 in front and NW # 5 in rear ,I added and 1/2 inch or so on of some faster reacting foam to stiffin the side walls a little.

She not that fat, it weights in at 6lb. 14oz.

What's your ground clearance under the chassis?

I think the courses were realistic.

And I knew, you knew I had it in me. Thanks
I finished behind Tyler in both classes. Just could get pass him.

Rockedup ricky hate to sound dumb here but what are clocked up axles you mention in the first post? came down to the crawlapalooza last weekend and after seeing the 2.2 rigs run sure makes are scratch built from a couple of years ago go seem way outdated. any suggestions on building a 2.2 class rig shaft versus no shaft.

thanks mike

The only dumb qusetion is the unasked one.
Clocked axle is rotating the axle so the motor on a shaftless axle is higher or on a shafty the drive line . As far as shafty versus no shafty. I'm still tossed between the two.

bearcat263 · 10-16-2008, 04:27 PM

Ricky thanks for the reply. so i assume that you have both rigs shaft and no shaft. i would think the electric dig versus the mechanical dig would be a little less prone to mechanical problems. also from what we saw down there that dig is a must have on a comp rig yes or no? is there any thing else that you can think of?

thanks mike

I wouldn't know what to do without dig. But I've seen a lot of guys do great without it.

Both mechanical and eletric will have to be maintained.

Is the chassis the same with as stock if you where running a R-2 tranny in it as a shafty?

ROCKEDUP RICKY · 02-27-2009, 09:49 AM

This chassis is suppost to bolt to the R2D, I made a skid plate for it and my width was 2.25 outside to outside of chassis.
