Aw Scaler, how many Micros do you have? Also is there really any performance difference(grip wise) with parts of the tread chunks cut out?

Only two, i barrowed stuff from the Dodge for this. Straight climbing they seem to perform better, but sidehilling they might slide a little easier due to not having the small lugs. | |

Soo long proto chassis, Skinny Me did ok, could have been improved on - maybe at a later date. Project Inch Worm (torsion chassis) was a complete failure tonight, couldnt even use it in the comp. Barrowed theholybulls' (i clicked spell check on theholybull and it came up "bullshitter's") stock micro with droop springs and a 2s lipo and took the win for the night :blink: So here we are back on the stock chassis and a flashy new lid. I call this one...... Lazy Bug. |

Alright, did some more tinkering, now running no foams in the tires. Front have a crap ton of bb's in them, more then 3/4 full. Rears are around half full. Got the return springs on and painted the faux beadlock rings. And to show you guys how balanced it is. |
