Without foams in the All-T's it is still 1 3/8", I got 1 3/8" with the Masher 2000's but they have foam in them.

I just bought a set of Masher 2000's yesterday for my tire test so I will measure diff clearance without foams in them.

Radishkid is right on the money WR, a 2.2 stick would be interesting. For comps it would be great. Mine is primarily designed to look somewhat like a 1:1 Bronc/buggy and a comp rig second. But to each his own.

Thanks for the help Radishkid.

I'm tryin, I am gonna have to do testing on the rocks here at werk since I have not had time to go anywhere for testing. You should call it "Tater Tot" (in memory of the big one), then build another big one and call it..."Tater Salad"

More info.
Masher 2000's with full height, narrowed foam: 1 3/8"
Masher 2000's with no foam: 1 3/16"

All-T's with no foam: 1 3/8"
All-T's with Masher 2000 foam: 1 5/8"

I forgot to measure the All-T's with full height , narrowed foam. I'll do that when my other set comes in.
I plan to test the All-T's with Masher 2000 foam in them because it allows the tire to flex very nicely and gives a good contact patch, but helps stabilize the sidewall's alot.

The winch servo adds about 3oz. Haulin around two motors makes for a heavy pig.
I weighed the Zombie the other day at the post office scale. It was 6lbs. 7oz. with everything (6 cell batt pack, body, etc.). So it looks like the extra motor and trany and plastic of the wider axles are about an extra pound on a clod 2.2. I can live with that.

Here is a pick of the Zombie for those who haven't seen it:

Ahhhh, The Zombie looks great Pinchy.
I am so glad to hear mine is in the ballpark on weight. I was afraid yers were gonna end up being 4 lbs. I weight mine on my ultra-high accuracy, $15, food scale from Ace Hardware.

BTW here is a link to The Zombie in case anyone has not seen it.
The Zombie 2.2 gets a new lid. (PICS)

hackster's Bulu1 rig weighs in UNDER 5lbs RTR. We had a high dollar scale at the ORCRC comp and everyone had to weigh their trucks for "tech inspection"

Nope. What really pisses me off is when they don't read the first page or three and then ask twelve questions about the truck that have already been discussed. Duh! Grab daddies hand and we'll do it together ok?
