Thanks guys. yeah these tires are sick, dez you are the man. I plan to trim the body to maximize clearance. I hope I get a hold of Jeff to get my castle link so I can get these ESC's programmed. I really think this could perform well. |

ALRIGHT FOOLS ITS DONE (minus pinions) I can't really check the rotation of my motors yet, since I am not 100% which they go. I am not worried about it though, just a matter of switching a couple wires on the motors. My glue job kind of sucks but sue me. I don't give a rats as* at this point. I will freaking color them with a sharpie Pictures: |

Due to a really shatty start to the day I did not run the truck in the comp today. I did go to the comp though, I picked up the pinions and got hem installed. I ran the truck for a few mins but without having the drag brake setup it wasn't going to run like I wanted. I will get it finsihed tonight and get some video up. I really like these tires I think they will Do well and should really help give me an edge. And yeah they are HUGE. thanks to all the KCRCRC guys for lending a hand and trying to get me going. I know you could have had me running in no time. |

I'm having to lay my servo down to get better throw on it. Since it's facing down. I can't a good steering angle and it jams up. Try using TCS cheap $12 Servo mount. Mount it on backwards. Keep you bottom BTA link and make a New drag link that goes to the knuckle. Thats the best way I've found. If I don't like that. I'm putting my steering back up front. Looks good by the way... |
