Crawllifes Mark2 build

[Crawllife]

Ok, screw the tires and tech. I'm a kiwi guy and constantly bitch at the people responsible for the fruit in my pics for not grabbing a few. It bothers me. I do like bananas but they can't have even a bit of green on them. They need to be close to expired to get my attention. However, as Barry was kind enough to point out, these are just shot! Enjoy your night! Headed for a bowl of honey bunches of oats.

That's funny..... Honey Bunches just happens to be my favorite. I eat that 99% of the time..... And often with slices of banana in it.... When they are around. Better get to slicing! Lol

A bit ahead of schedule EY. I'm going to sleep first and go test them in the morning ok? Lol. I think I'm going to like them. It took a lot to get me away from my 2.2 rovers. It was just this season ( and meeting you ) that I even messed with a pin tire. For the record, my threads are just opinion so no debating please. When my voodoos were new ( all the ones you hooked me up with), I felt like there was nothing I couldn't snag. While my doo's show little wear, they don't seem to have the same grip. I clean the crap out of my tires after every time I drive too so that's not it. I also haven't cut a pattern in any of them either. Perhaps that's something I should try with one of my sets. That's why I made such a big deal about having a new set of doo's for Nats. Thanks for doing such a good job of looking after me bro! They are sitting in the shop in the RI pile. So if I dig these tomorrow ( 5 hours, crap ), you see why I'm bugging about the second set. I have more faith in new tires, plus if I really like them, I'll want to put them on both rigs. Pro is first tho. I'll let ya know ASAP.

Food themed makes me think of Roksloski's Crispy Crème lid... MMMMmm good

[Crawllife]

Sloski is my man. His lids are fun. Maybe I should leave the food themed ones to him. Since you won't be there T, there is a small part of me that wants to replicate the lids I did for you with my own flair. We will see.

Just throw a "I <3 5th D" on the roof and call it a day

[Crawllife]

I may take it all the way. I have to see what I have left from your twins. The I <3 5 D mask is bomb for sure! The designer must eat honey bunches.

Little update. I have a practice day tomorrow and with knuckle weight, more seems to be more. I'll be trying a total of 9.8 ounces up front. If I have time, I have enough little rings to put a half once on each side of the rear to help control down hill action. We will see

And it's a bit of a hack but I wanted to try an ounce in each corner out back. I just scraped together the ring pieces I had left and here ya go. I'm going to get up early to swap shock oil and then it's off to test voodovers. I'm looking forward to a day out with JSlick.

I need to do some KW tuning as well. Took my truck out on Saturday and it was doing ok. But on certain situations it would throw up the rear axle over.

How is your drag break set-up front & rear ESC's?

[TSK]

It's not my drag brake. On certain side hills when I turn uphill, the rear inside tire just suddenly lifts and flips the truck over it's side. Like non-catchable quick. And it's only when the suspension is flexed out or near it.

Like it'll be good, good, good, then flip.

You could try some internal springs. I use losi micro crawler springs internally. They are a 5mm limiter when ur shock is at full extension.

I need to brainstorm bit. What's weird is that it's the uphill side rear tire. When it's fully extended and I apply power; it'll just fling over towards the compressed side. Real unusual looking.

It?'a probably these SCX style shocks. I never did like them. So quickly valved for my tastes. I had BB's on here before and never saw this issue. I think I'll go back to those.
