Gen 7 in the rocks-pictures as proof

The pile is road debris-old pavement and concrete piled up 20 or 30 feet tall. Challenging terrain for my crawler...

Nice crawl, body looks good!! what size and type tires you running?

[pearing]

The tires are 2.2 Proline Flat Iron Xl. Very happy with the tires-they seem to hook up great and have LOTS of grip on rocks. They do clog some with muddy conditions, but I doubt anything works well in every condition. the foams that came with them also seem well suited to the weight of my Gen 7.

I am disappointed in the wheels-these are also Proline. They are plastic (and I should have known better...) and the hex area has 'spun' on my spacers... so I need new wheels. They also do not work well with these tires as I cannot seem to keep them seated and there are an endless number of small bolts that strip in the plastic hub. Overall, they are not good in my opinion. Looking at metal options. Currently thinking about some SSD's, but wow are they spendy...

Thanks for the positive feedback on the body. It has not fared well with my abusive learning curve... Missing most of the plastic add ons now and thinking about a 'new' look for the truck...

Cheers
