Yup.

I wouldn't mind seeing stuff in pieces, it's good inspiration for me to design stuff for mine.

666, you need to soften the roofline with a lighter and bend it flat like it should be. i had the same problem.

Ok here is a small teaser update...

On the left you can see the 9 cell battery and on the right you can see the winch spool and the ESC used to run the winch. I kept breaking winch spools so if this one works I will dye it black and call it good.
The battery is the result of seeing Chelly on 14 volts, I can hardly wait to drive it! Only problem I face right now is my Novak BEC is not supposed to handle this kind of voltage and the winch ESC cannot handle more than 7 or so cells Time to order a Castle BEC from Holmes.....

And yes I know the front links are Allthread, that is on the to do list now that she should have some speed

Yeah Slugz!
We need more pics though, those teasers are definitely not enough!
It's good to see the voltage upgrade, mine should be running a 3 or 4 cell a123, so it looks like we will all be able to baja around.

Hey slugz, quick question. How wide are your frame rails outside to outside?

I had to reassemble it a bit for these pics of the tires. What do you think?
2.2 Rc4wd Rock Stompers.

Dang, those look soooo good!!
They definitely look better than the all-t's imo, but I wonder how the performance is compared to them?
Are they the soft's?
Let me know how they do compared to the all-t's, especially in high speed stuff. I was thinking they might be a little too skinny for high speed turning, but the all-t's didn't do that great either.
Let us know how they do.

Soft yes. I have really firm foams in them so they might do ok.

You guys like them better? I am not too sure about them.

Looks - Way better!
Performance - You need to let us know.

After we know how they do in performance compared to the all-t's we can give you a better answer.

I think the lugs on the crushers are too small regardless, making it look funny. I think it makes it look like a 55" tall 1:10 scale tire.

But I think the crushers look proportional to a 40" tall 1:7.5 scale (what the ranger is) tire. So I think they would look a lot better and in turn make them look a little bigger in comparison to the stompers.
