Ah, the diffs are cheap. I'm not really worried about that. More than anything I'm just trying to make sense of the mechanics in my head. I'm reading through zero's articles, they're long.

I'm not sure if I'm going to bash or get into racing, probably the latter. Much like our crawler comps, racing would give me a purpose to my builds. That's part of the reason I'm considering selling the revo, it doesn't have a purpose like my other rigs. All I do is drive it in front of my house, break it, spend $100 on repair parts and then repeat. That bores me a little. The other rigs are tuned, modified and prepared for our next comp, they have a purpose.

I think it says in my stampede manual that it comes with 30k front and greased rear.

Damn them! I hate them for being able to make a product and sell it for whatever they want knowing people will buy it.

I guess that's deserved though, they do have quality products. I need to order a set of those gear heads EZ locks. I love the design of my hoopty pros, they're just so easy to mount and work on and since they're pretty much the same...

1.9's or 2.2's? If anyone wants 2.2's get ahold of me and i'll see if I can may e put something together.

I have the 1.9's and they are well worth the money.

1.9's...I'm set in the 2.2 department. Too bad there aren't any grip fab 1.9's, I'd buy them. Guess the gear heads will have to do.

Hrmm well well whats up! I'm hoping life will cut me a little slack and I can start playing with my toys again! Soo what has been happening? I see you guy are heading to or have been hitting the track.. If you are I'm in for that I have 3 22's and a XXX-SCT. I would love to go. I want a new 22SCT but I think I may just get a parts list and convert one of my buggies. Not to mention I may get a TenSCT. Either way hope to catch up with you guys soon! Well If I can quit playing Diablo 3 LOL.

Racing was my addiction for years. I'd be fearful to start again, never mind that I couldn't afford the truck I really wanted without sleeping in my truck for a while.

I'll have to look what I can put together but, my wheels are very similar to the CAC/Gearhead EZ-Loc style of beadlock wheel.

I need taller body mounts to mount my Melons body... maybe I could use velcro. I have some wheels/tires I can use from my Rustler. The rear are pins but the front are ribs.
