Default hey everyone
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.

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.

Leopards got 4th, but that just means I was the third loser if your not first, your last (Right Rich).
