Default Got a Chance to run it.

Alright I got a chance to get it out today and drive it around in the back yard. I just moved in are new house last year in July. I haven't had a chance to check out all the land. Well I found a dried up creek with rock walls and all sorts of things to climb on. Only one thing. Every thing is covered with thorns. I plan on going back down there and clearing it all out. Before spring gets here. Well here are the pic's as they load. It's wheels alot better then stock and I didn't break a thing. Just ran the batteries dead in both remotes and the camera. Well here they are. Well I haveing problems uploading them.

That looks awesome!! How do the shocks work really close together like that? Is it as stable as it was stock? Or is it tippy at all?
Thanks

The shocks work really well like that in the rear. No matter how much flex they won't spilt apart. It doesn't seem to really harm it any on side hills or anything.

They seem to wrap around things a little better. It doesn't make the tire any taller. And it doesn't give you anymore clearance. The only thing it does is takes away the support and looks skinnier, but it does seem to grab a little better.

Nice pics Run!

How do these HPI bodies do when you roll them?? Are they fairly strong?? I was wondering about that when I got mine...


Get some paint on that bad boy!

They are pretty strong. The lighter the rig the better on them. I have my liquid mask drying right now.
