Thanks. It was my birthday at the comp but I was sick. So it balanced me out. I don't plan on making anymore changes to my truck right now. It's working good.

Once again, ROLANDROCKSHOP filming it up. ARCC Dec Comp, Course 2, Bald Knob Lake, AR.
Not the best first line choice on Gate #2!

Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention. I am still running CrawlerInnovations 5.5 Closed Cell inner foams with soft outers up front but have recently changed to soft outers out back as well. Works a little better at 4lbs 4oz.
Red dot HB Khaos-Rovers are my 100% comp tire. I built these tires and ittybitty at EastCoastRC narrowed them up for me. Wheel/Tire/Foam is 5 oz each. 2 ounce knuckle weights up front on each side.

You just need an airplane or helicopter to fly into our comps.

Truck worked good today. Scores were close again. Results, pictures and video to follow.

In the meantime, a $9.95 experiment with plasi-cases from an Exceed crawler. Shout out to Tgreer for the heads up on these cases. Thanks Thommy.

Will report back on install and any issues soon.

Cool Shane

Are you using the plastic gears too?

Abuse them, I'm curious to durability...

Post up mod pics

[Tgreer]

This is going to be great! Glad to see you also run with the idea!

[ittybitty]

Very interesting

[Erik D_lux]

Cool!

I dont see how you wouldn't want to experiment for the price.

How are the quality of your bearings?

Did you get any gears?

I'll start on them in the morning and see how it goes.

The bearings seem low quality but not sure. I was surprised they even were included.
I didn't get any gears.
I plan on direct swapping these with my current setup. Dlux delrin tubes and all. Just quickly looking that them and the berg cases, there will be a few hurdles.

One of which being 4 tube mounting holes instead of 3. So i would guess none of them line up at all and you will need to drill 4 new ones in the Plastic case. Think it will hold up all to those perforations?

I like the experiment! I'll be watching.
