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.

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. |

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

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.

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. |

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. | |

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 |
