Ditch the Jordans for some White Rovers...

Get the TTR CVD's and the wider 2.2 Clod 14mm mayhem Wheels. The ones that are 1.25in wide not 1in.. Replace the Knuckle bolts with Set screws. Just use a small Dab of CA glue to hold the Bushing in. Make sure to get the Small Knuckles and Tubes for the Clod.

Also do the 14mm LST2 hex mod...

50T with 8t Pinions on 3 cells is a good Combo.. Ditch the two battery backs... To much weight and space taken up. Run a Castle Sidewinder or Mamba Max.

Also get a much better Servo.. The 645 is junk and strips out to easy. Hell the TP946R's have better gears.

Do you have any pics of your rig? I'm waiting for my pimp cane chassis right now so I'm collecting parts. On the fence whether to go Series 40's w/ narrowed rims or 2.2. Have you had any issues with clod stall?

ill try to find some pix & post them for ya, but theres lots of PC pix around (most are better pix than mine anyways) just search!!

& yeah i have the clod stall kinda bad, as soon as it starts to climb up the stall comes in to play, but ino my rear motor isnt in the best shape..so that could be one problems
