Chassis looks alot like dravtech's super chassis.

[Alonjp]

Yeah, since it's has been my first attempt to fabricate carbon fiber chassis and didn't knew were to start from I took inspiration from dravtech chassis.
The idea was to learn how to work with CF and then to design my own chassis.
I hope to start building a new one soon.

Yeah, thought it looked familiar..... lol



You need to get traction on those tires man.... lots of wheelspeed, no traction
Car is bouncing a lot also... maybe some softer springs ???

[Alonjp]

Thanks for your tip.
Indeed the tires are horrible.
I've tried everything on them, soaked them in WD40 for three days, shaved them, star cut the foams... Whatever I did wasn't enough for those tires!
They are definitely better than the stocks now but still sucks.
I was thinking of C&S some white dot Rovers to fit into the stock wheels (2.8 beadlocks) or even to my 3.8 narrowed axial beadlocks but am not sure.
My concern is that it will leave my with no challenge anymore...

Regarding the shocks, I see what you mean but I thought that it's common for solid axels since the wheels themselves taking care for most of the shocks.
Do you really think that the truck needs softer shocks or maybe lower oil weight? And maybe a better tires will take care of this too..

Your input will be very helpful since this category in Israel is virtually non-existent.
Thanks

Foam.... Take good foam.... Crawler innovations is the best there is...

And that's it?
Just change the foams and leave everything else as it is? (Shocks and tires)

[Curcal]

one fix at a time man. but yeah shocks and tires wouldn't hut ya

[Alonjp]

Ok, didn't though that the foams has such an important role (more than the tires themselves)..
What about hb rovers foams, are they any good?

P.s what do you guys think about rc4wd 3.8 rok lox?
And how does the proline 2.2 TSL XL as a cut&shut tire, will it be better than rovers?

Thanks for all!
