Great looking rig.

I was just wondering. From the looks of it you cut a Rover and added a section. Do you have any issues with the tire folding on itself.

I saved this bookmark for Super rovers from EvilTwin. Its quite involved and if I dont have to go through all that I would rather not.

Super rovers

Just looking for opinions before I hack up 3 pairs of rovers.

Thanks

Bryan

Well, that depends on what rim you are putting them on. On a 3.2" wheel you can get away with adding a section. The larger the rim the more the tire will want to crease at the tread.

Superfubario · 04-07-2010, 10:07 AM

Ahh. Ya Im throwing them on a 40 series. Probably best to cut em into 5 sections like he does.

Thanks for the reply.

So I was getting some run time in when I heard a gun shot. I didn't think much of it cause I live in Houston, but then I realized someone actually busted a cap!

It was me, it popped like one of those new years poppers. I hope a stronger cap or two will work.

FXR??? Don't see that every day.

4xFord · 04-11-2010, 12:22 AM

Yup FXR. I'm tempted to switch to some mamba maxes or sidewinders to handle the draw from these 35x2's.

joesbruiser · 04-11-2010, 06:12 AM

I run FXR's in my 2.2 and considered it on my Super then I though about the load that a Super places on stuff and went with castle.

Dr.Frank · 04-11-2010, 06:32 AM

x2, i'm running FXR in the 2.2 and 2 sidewinders in the super.

With the newest software you have a great drag brake too

So there's two for CC. That may have to be the way I go, I don't wanna risk blowing caps in a comp.

Pro's would be nice cause they are still so small. But all I got here are normal FXR's and CC stuff. I'm thinking I'll go with two mamba maxes for now.

Also damn you got that thing together quick.

landon4 · 04-11-2010, 10:19 AM

I think the mambas will work good for you thats what I plan to run in mine if I ever get around to getting it done

It helps when you don't have a normal 9-5 job.

With the updates that CC did for the programing, I wouldn't hesitate to switch over.

Well I got some big ass caps from radio shack that I'm hoping do the trick. When I got in to rewire I realized it popped both caps at the same time.

rockbound · 04-16-2010, 01:47 AM

that thing looks sick too! cant wait to see it this weekend.

Unlikely that they will work very well - You need to have low ESR capacitors for them to work otherwise it could make matters worse...

An indication but not a certainty that they are low ESR is if they have a high temp rating. If you contact Tekin they should send you a packet of 2.

Failing that your LHS may have the Novak ones (not the gitch buster) or I have the digikey ones.

EGRESSor · 04-16-2010, 03:03 PM

Rubycon ZL are ultra low ESR caps

4xFord · 09-01-2010, 09:06 PM

Long time no update. With Nats coming up and the bugs getting worked out of the superbullys I thought I would give them a shot. Never mind the haggard panels

I have some new skins on the way.

Here is a shot from the last comp with 7" rovers. (next to JeremyH's sick super)

And here is how she sits now with 8" rovers.

I like the narrow link mounting on the bully's, no contact at full lock.

Tire shot.

Getting right side up shouldn't be a problem.

SVEN's knuckle weights fit perfect inside the Tech 5's.

And here is my custom skid with battery tray that mimics my 2.2

bigflex · 09-01-2010, 09:21 PM

looking sick bro! You gonna let me drive this, or the clod this weekend?
