Looks killer!

The HPI spike rims have a little bit more of an offset than the stock WK rims. It helps with the wheel/body clearance under flex.

Also 4oz. of #8 plastic beads helps fill the tires and slows side wall rollover. Also helps COG. Still a very nice rig

I know you can not tell much from this photo, but it wasn't long before it tumbled over. (might of had something to do with the drop off) I did notice that the COG is decent if I can keep the wheel speed down (crawl'in). Under full compression and giving it throttle on any type of decent side angle, I can get it to tip, but not roll. I think it could use some stiffer springs and lowering the COG can hurt. The suspension seems snappy. It is running about half droop. I did not notice very much side wall rollover. I did not use the talked about star cut n the foams, I just shaved them down about a 1/3rd.




A burp of the throttle, pushed it over on this one.
