I really like what you did with the batteries. I'm definitely going to try and replicate that on my wk.

Thanks , it really helps get the weight low . The way I set them up they are easy to change out also . It is a great mod (its worth the trouble). Well just for the heck of it I put a Rooster Crawler in . I stop on my way to work and ran a battery thru it . It nosed over to many times on drop offs (drag drake to strong) . So the Roosters will go back on the super . I love the Sidewinder it is a great ESC . For the cost I don't think a person could ask for more . I'm sold on them being a great ESC for any 2.2 rig .

Well I got another mod done . About week and a half ago I was asking for stock Pro-Line foams . There was a reason the foams I was running where alittle soft . So I took some stock Axial foams narrowed them and some stock Pro-Line foams and narrowed them . I'm not saying the width of each but the Axial are alittle wider . I put the Axial foams to the inside and the Pro-Lines to the outside . I ran them today and it seems to have fixed the problem .

Thank you , as for the foams . I have not got to test them any more (cold and snowing here) . they will get a work out on the 15th though , got a comp .

I got more testing done on the Foams yesterday . I was running on rock that really grip . the sidewalls where holding really well . With the foams being alittle firmer it help with grown clearance also .

I had the opportunity to drive Badd's TLT yesterday. It is the smoothest, most capable rig I've ever driven! I was trying to trade with him after the first rock I crawled with it! Really nice rig dude! And it looks baddass too!

Nice work

Nice build on your SW3. Have you checked the weight of your rig RTR?
How much clearance do you have under your chassis? The paint is very
nice. I like your link setup. It is allot like mine so I know it drives great.
Again you have a nice looking SW3, good luck with it.

I drove it at Rock City and it drove very nice, very smooth, set-up real good. Nice rig Badd.

I like you tire foam thing, I had been thinging of do that with some of my memory foams.

just now got around to getting a video done and up . http://media.putfile.com/HQQDRAT thanks to Kamikaze for doing it .

[Badd]

I got to add these 3 pics . I spent the after noon with my 4 year old . She took these pics messing around with the camera . when I got home and seen them I had to load them up . now there was like 25 more that was not so good but hey she tried .

I got another mod done tonite . The otherday I was running and noticed the R2D stopped working . Two of the 3 screws that hold the dig on had backed out . I had some screws in my pit box to fix it . I got home and noticed those where loose . So I pulled the trans out tonite and cleaned it . I stared by cutting some 3mm screws down to 1" long including the head . I also used three 3mm nuts and 1 TLT axle shim . I put the shim behind the shim that is on the main gear . the replaced the 3 screws and put the jam nuts on with locktight . this should stop them from backing out . here is a few pics ......
