Well since I retired from the stereo competition world, I am bored off my butt. The Woman is noticing me being not myself lately, and told me to get out to do something. HELLLLLLO there is 4 feet of snow in the backyard and i can't find my fence. LOL

I pulled out the old rollover crawler and well, got it put together besides fixing the dig unit, I think i forgot how to build it. somehow when i hooked everything up it didn't want to move. Found out i was using the wrong freakin ESC. Now i need to get new tires for it.

Since i have been out of the loop on crawling, What is a good tire to use now. My Rovers are so worn out they go flat as soon as i put it on the ground.

That is a foam problem and has nothing to do with the tires themselves. Get some new foams, Nova foams would be the way to go.

Yes, you definitely need to make the next comp Travis!

highroller · 01-13-2010, 01:41 PM

Well why do you think i am redoing the old rig. LOL..... I just cut springs down to lower it, dang thing was to high in the air even sitting for months and no oil in shocks, also redoing the shock mounting. I am wanting to go with new tires with matching foams since the rovers are to tall, heck bout an inch taller than the stock axials.

This is one reason i am selling other RC cars. One for a scale truck, build a trailer, and well i hate road racing. LMAO

I like running taller tires, especially when I had the WK axles.

You should come out on Wednesday night and race, we have a lot more fun than the Sunday crowd.

Rovers took first through at least 6th at the last Omaha comp

highroller · 01-13-2010, 03:34 PM

Maybe getting new rovers will help out, i also forgot the ones i have got the spray treatment at midwest 2.2 last year. LOL
