We Don't Have One,,,Yet!!

Ran two batteries through my Troober with the Growlers mounted up. I'm discovering that the dual stage closed cell foams are a bit stiff for anything under 10 lbs. they seemed to work a bit better on the Troober yesterday but just don't seem to conform good enough for me. The tires worked great, but I was getting hung up on everything with them being only 4.75" tall (unlike the 5.25-5.5" tires I usually run). I think I'm going to swap out the outer foams before the comp Sunday. I'm going to take my GoPro and have somebody film my runs so you can all see them in action. Funny.....even with all that mud caked in the tread, I was walking right up some difficult climbs.

The Troober looks badass as a convertable with that headlight missing.

Thanks! That's just from a year of abuse. I need to do a bit of work to it before the SWSC, it's getting new paint too.

From Pitbull's website. And I think you also can on RPP. Or you can at least add them to your cart.

Yes you can at RPP I asked Corey to remove the no backorder flag on it.

Few more pics.

New rig looks great Tim. Looking forward to seeing it in action this weekend. Wow, no hard body

Sam, I'll let you throw the tires and wheels on your class 2 and try them out after the comp. I put the regular CI foams in them, and they are way better.

Closed cell 4.5 inners and standard outers. Medium in back, soft in front. The standard outers just work better for me (crawling on rock and slower speed stuff).

Agreed.

Dual Stage was created for ROCK CRAWLing.

Single Stage was created for everything else.

The dual stage closed cell is still being tested. It has completely different characteristics that are still being learned.
