Looks great. I like the Caddy. So the tires aren't what you thought. I may have to pic up a set of mashers for back up on mine.

I am picking up a K2-3S this weekend for my TXT axled 14"er. What didn't you like about the performance of the suspension? Good to know about these tires, as I was considering a set eventually.

actually, YOUR 14'r runs mashers... mashers dont work very well around vegas.


ive got some updates, yesterday i took the tubing out of the shocks and that made the rig waaaaay too tall.
so today i took a different approach to it. standing the shocks up makes them more effective.. it just so happens, the screws that attach the cross members at the ends of a 3S chassis happen to be directly above my shock mounts. making these the logical location for the upper shock mounts... unfortunetly putting the shocks there makes the truck about 4ft tall. so what do you do about that? DROOP the mother****er!!

i will be moving the shocks to the upper holes as the ride height is barely higher than i want right now. and this weekend ill be getting springs to use inside the shocks.

How many runs have you made with the badlands? I am wondering if they will work better as the tire breaks in.

My Badland's still work as good as the day I finished gluing XL sidewalls into them. Great tire IMHO.

Caddy body looks great DF, I love the fact that it is something different. I hope the droop susp works out, looks like it should.

I'm gonna try the marshmallow body pads too, I'm tired of the bacon I'm using dripping on the ESC.

Cook it longer ya dolt! But not too long, don't want it too crispy or it might break.

At least pan fry the things!

Foreman grill is good at cooking bacon too.
