Turbos comp redcat

[IWantATurbo]

i got a redcat rs10 brand new $159 shipped last week.

i have changed the tires (stock suck) not happy with my leopards yet.

i bent the rear links

changed the body to one i had.

crawled with it some and could not deal with the skid plate. so i bent both ends up and it helped but was still not happy.

so i made my own out of my wifes cutting board i also made it half inch skinnyer.

had to make a new elc tray also and then strapped the battery to the bottom of it.

here is a couple pics

I sure like those leopards, they look cool. Are they hookin' up good or mediocre??

[IWantATurbo]

they are brand new and im not happy with them at all. i have been told to give them time?

[hoghead5150]

my leopards woke up after i took the dremel and siped the lugs. the more they wear the better they get. after the lugs get about half worn down, and start to tear apart, they hook up as good or better than any tire i've tried.

so far they wrinkle so bad i get the stuck in the rocks all the time. put way taller foam in to try and help but have not tested them yet.

if the foam don;t help, pull the foam and plug the vents, i used 3mm o-rings on a computer case screws. I run trapped air only in my rigs, and g-made has a air system.

the pic above with the body on has pitbull tires and no foams that have air in them.

ahh, okay....i got nothing for you then, someone else was having wrinkle issues a while back.

[IWantATurbo]

the pits where my first try and they work well. they just are not tall enough for me! lol

[Docwolf]

i have to say i love my super swampers...but that might be excessive for your rig LOL.

broke my first part today! broke the spindle on front but drilled new hole and put it in the back im back up and running.

also added bic pens to my links the rocks slide over them much better.
