Thanks for all the kind words! I have been thinking about some 4" tires for the rig. Well I decided on some and made them up tonight . The sidewall donors are 1.9 flat irons. The pin tire is a proline m3 Bowtie 1/8 scale buggy tire. The tires were narrowed to 1 1/2" and shrank down to 4 1/8" tall. I used the flat iron sidewall to get some side lug on the tire. Our comp is tomorrow so we will see how it does. I went soft on the foams the sidewalls are a little on the stiff side.   |

SUperb work there. I made my own 4.125" flatiron sides / Rover treads a few weeks back. It is hard going at first. Mine are no where near as neat!! I like the look of the pin treads though. |

Thanks for the pics Dave. The truck seemed petty good today. I finished 3rd. The servo went weak on me. Costing me a better finish. The servo is a couple years old now and is pretty much wasted. The new tires did well. I feel they need to break in a little more. One of the tires that will get better and better each run. Well practice for two weeks then motorama. |

Great job on those tires buddy, for a maiden voyage the new mini rig did quite well. I'm sure it'll be dialed in for the finals. |

If you search, you'll find a ton of info on it in both this forum as well as the Axial AX10 forum. | |

The mod makes the front axle turn faster than the rear. This does work well on vertical climbs. Also it does make it steer better. Acts a little like a dig. | |

Well. I ran her at motorama. Truck was very good. I couple driving errors cost me a better finish. I am really pleased with its performance.
