mississippirocs 11-03-2007 06:21 PM

The knuckles will definatly help the turning radius as will getting fat-rock C's. For the rear you should get the strait axle adapters and the SS axles to go with them. Other than that the rig looks to be set up to kill the competition.

i like the look alot better.... should perfomre bette rtoo. "thumbsup"

BENDER 11-05-2007 09:35 AM

How much weight are you running in the front wheels? Set-up looks good, electronics are nice and low. Going to 2/3A cells on the front axle will lower your CG even more, Holmes Hobbies is making packs like mine now.

CVD's will help your rig become more comp worthy for sure, especially if you don't run dig. Switching to Rock Claws will make a huge difference too. ;-)

So when you going to be ready to get together and crawl. So you also missed a good comp this last weekend. I did well and next comp i wont run novice.

xr100 11-06-2007 10:43 AM

Nice looking truck man. That body really sets it off. Good work "thumbsup"

Dragon51 11-06-2007 04:25 PM
