|  Done been Bullied
Well I am not going to get into the specs of the axles as that has been covered by a few of the other build threads that are using these axles. I mounted the axles to a torsion chassis for now. They will eventually get the GrooVe chassis once it is done.      I figured the best way to test the durability of these axles was to give them the torsion chassis. This way I was able to beat on them very hard. I had the tires bound till the clod stall kicked in, it took a pretty good fall (about 6 feet) which did give me a slight "clown wheel" affect. But RC4WD is allready on top of that problem. The finish on these axles is incredibly "slick". That was the word used by Rob from TSC. I will be getting more runs in on these in the very near future, and will post up how they are doing. Any questions just ask. Last edited by carbonuts; 09-20-2008 at 08:10 PM. |

How are those tires? I have been considering them for a while now and just haven't made the "leap".

Well I have 2 sets of the losi's sitting here and would rather run the panthers. But the losi's are a very close 2nd choice. |

Looks Good... Did you bend that chassis or the fall did?

I bent the arch in it. I'll get better pix of the chassis up soon, just keep in mind that its a temp chassis. |

We expect to post some pictures of the prototype GrooVe chassis by tomorrow, our R&D team already send it out to the anodizing company on Friday.

Nice video work Rob. Looks to me like the bullies withstood the beating, and that was a beating. Nice beating Josh! |

Are you running "clod" offset wheels on these axles?
