Hmmm...that side mirror looks low.

Seriously, tore mine off in the rocks the first day.

Lots of different wheel and tire combos...the blue ones are cool.

I still really like my Blazer, it's my casual trail rig so it doesn't get beat too hard. And my first Axial after a string of Ascenders.

So far I've replaced the servo and the links - put all SSD's in with metal ball-ends. Shocks have been fine - but replaced all the springs with 1.7oz/in ones or however they measure those. LOL. That really helped with stance and crawling.

Otherwise it's pretty stock. Very fun to drive and yes, it crawls really well - as good as my totally mod'd rigs. Just a little too much overhang so it drags - and I pulled both bumpers in a quarter inch or so.

Are those the old Rock Beasts or the Rock Beast XLs?

The originals at 4.45". I have the XL's on my Ascender Silveraldo and they're just huge.

Evidently this is the go-to for 'nova's ark' - Crawler Innovations - all their rigs. Who'da thunk??

I'm going to get a set of the VXT's from Vanquish and try them. 4.65" by 1.5" width.

Sorry for the thread-jack.

Thanks. The originals are the best. The XLs are stupid big like most of Pitbull's new tires.

Ya, I was shocked when I bought my tsl sx XL. Very recommended on the forums but so large. I’d rather have a realistic look, as apposed to a 55” scale tire.

I got a set of the RC4WD rallye wheels, but was saving them for a new clear body to custom paint.

One of these two are my target, both just freakin' awesome. I like them so well I keep thinking of trying to find a full-size one, but man have they gotten spendy - thirty grand for a decent one to START a build project.

Check out these two...#1 is a full-size - looks like a RC, and #2 is a RC by @Killa-Cotton here...looks like a full-size. I haven't decided which yet...but got the wheels.
