Silver and black wheels look great. Are the KLRs 1.9 or 2.2?

Ok i think stance is perfect as of right now still up in the air as far as pinching the nose so i will round out fenders better and decide in a few days if pinch it other then that she is a monster will climb great and side hills like a beast

Hey Pete, your right about the stance, right on! I have a new body on the way for my Tf2, so will be interested to see what you decide to in modding your body. I pre ordered a set of the new Pit Bulls, I want to try the 4.2 diameter tires and see how they work out. Keep up the good work. Have you noticed a difference in handling with the extra weights in your front axles?

Ernie,
First thing i notice is when i go wfo from a dead stop it dont flip over backwards next is how well it pulls on to things. The wheel hop is almost gone. Honestly this is the best she has ever been i can go anywhere a long wheel base can. One wed i am going to the spot of r next comp i have some crazy climbs i will try there. Let me know on those pits right now i am running the 1.7 iroks compound 2 on the tf2 and very impressed but it is no klr

That is good to hear, I'm sure the changed performance isn't all because of the weighted axles, but they may be helping. Thanks for the update, and when I get my new tires for the Tf2 I will let you know how they work.

Looking good Pete, I should be able to start your rear axle beef tubes tomorrow. They will be totally inside your axle so they don't create a problem with your break weights.

That new rear axle is going to look nice in Bertha!
Also ordered a set of those tires in golds.

Hey Pete, tried to send you a PM, and got a message saying your inbox is full?

I told you it was going to look good in Bertha!!! Did everything line up OK? I just about have the SCXii unis steering recipe figured out, came out pretty good, and I did most all of it with a small grinder and a file..
