Thank god, if you said 1C I was going to pass lol. Im going to order some then. Thanks.

I charge my batters like this.. if it's a 600mah I'll charge @ .6A if it's a 450mah .5A, if it's a 5000mah 5.0A ect. Takes about 40min a battery..

Mounted the Ruptures up with out any mods other than some air holes and running CI foams. Now I'm about to go test them out a bit on my new found spot!



BTW that's ummmmm not my nail polish back there.....

Are they that much wider than the stock bully's ?
I have a set on some wide proline wheels for my yeti. One of my favorite gripping tires down here , I was thinking

Don't know what that last message was from me but definitely was a mistake. I have CI foams and the stock wheels there.

What do they measure for height? Huge difference from stock but they need some narrowing, they probably rub a lot on the links. Added height will make a big difference, I cant wait to get some taller tires.

Just under 6" and they do rub at the moment but not as bad as I thought they would. I couldn't get a true comparison because the rocks were damp and the wheels were damp from some wet grass/dirt. Felt they were performing better but also felt like I was flipping over a little more. I still need a knuckle weight system and will be working on that which should help a lot.

Also wondering about my front not seeming like it's able to truly get the rear up and seem to do a fair amount of hopping. Have to try and get some video or something.

Added these weights on for the time being because I'm not ready to buy new wheels yet for other weight options and already have backordered rc4wd weights waiting on towerhobby with using tower cash so basically free.

Here is a vid of some recent local rocks. I'm still learning to drive and don't think I had any knuckle weights at all on the rock wall shots. Added some before taking on the big rocks the other day. First time shooting any kind of rc vid with my phone too

What foams did you use...tires look really stiff?
Id send them in for a cut n shut and shave job.

6 DD narrow comp soft in the front and 5.5 narrow med rear and both with a tuning ring. They are new tires/foams and the fronts are soft/breaking in but the backs not quite..... Rig is now about 5lb 5oz with the Ruptures and knuckle weights. Suggestions on cutting/shaving these? Seems some people are running them stock and some are narrowing them from what I've found on here.

Yes I have searched for ruptures narrowed as well but yet to see them done I have a set coming in I'm going to narrow.. And shave the sides down. My idea was to remove all the smaller center blocks and possibly the inside tips of the larger blocks? To take 1/4-1/2 inch out of the centres. And the second set just shave the side walls and see which is the better option.

[Xtacy33]

Since you have a plan in place already... Please let me know what you think after you try them out!

[tnt-salvage]

Will do, just herd today from hobby shop I won't have them for another week or so. Which is fine as the two bully's are no where near finished. Still waiting on parts to arrive. And still have some to order.

So it's definitely been awhile, added a few more to my growing fleet but here are some changes this rig went through. Now to find the time to run it with 2 small children, a wife and busy weekends. At least I'm prepared when the time comes.....
75g rc4wd weights
BlueBird H50C (moved the promodeler to a shafty)
Narrowed and shaved the Ruptures
Printed my own hood (sticker and laminate protectors to underside of lexan-it's taken a small beating so far)
Krazed Builds Aztecs
HH Puller 400s
Aluminum screws in some areas and bored the rear tube some.
Running wt with 3S 500mah is 2069g
