to me they look like they would help in some places and be detrimental in some. But overall i think it would be a good upgrade although pricey....I love the functional bling However my LHS has not been very happy with rc4wd lately for some reason |

Watch the Vendors section and see what pops up . Or just ask in the vendors section.  |

"However my LHS has not been very happy with rc4wd lately for some reason" they probably don't like waiting two months to get the wrong part. I have had bad luck with them as well, except when I ordered the r2.  |

Me personally, I just don't want to make my rig any taller than it already is. I think the small amount of ground-to-axle clearance you gain is far from worth the price of 2 pair of portals. Just my opinion though. One day I'd like to build a scale Unimog, though. Portals would be a must-have for that since real Unimogs have them also... |

I got a set. They do make a big difference in height! It can help or hurt in some situations. The V2 where supposes to be better, but I ran mine for about 5 min and stripped out the wheel axle from the inner gear. I e-mailed RC4WD a week ago and have yet to hear from them about it. I think they are on vacation. Keep in mind as always with new products comes some problems. RC4WD has always made things right. They have a lot of new products which makes it hard for them to keep up.:-( Tom |
