images from comp on he weekend with local guys CANZ QLD





i have to get little more height out of it. as i made up my own Adjustable shock tower so i could use my existing shocks with 10mm increments.
As currently I comply with the rule that I am with 30mm "Guard clearance is to be measured when vehicle is placed down on a flat level surface. Distance from the top of the tyre to the highest point of the wheel arch, flare or underside of flat tray must not exceed 30mm."

A new comp is coming up this weekend with CanzQLD and i was able to get some deals on scale bit off ebay to tart it up. And i had an old Traxxas servo floating around so i had used some youtube videos to make it in to a servo winch.

And used this 300lbs Super PE Dyneema Braid Fishing Line.

my little run on the weekend. I really like cruising with this think. And making it look more scale.

good to see you CANZ guys getting into it up there in sunny Queensland!

You must be running in C1 or similar with those smaller tyres?

All I did was find your vid on YouTube, click on the share button, click on embedded link, copy and paste link here in then post quick reply.

Don't try and preview the reply, just post it.

i did a set of these last year and the internal ring was starting to let go.



https://www.ebay.com.au/…/4pcs-Plastic-10-Hol…/283438184576…

so bought a set of Impulse 1.9" Black/Silver Plastic Internal Bead-Loc Wheels. to replace them

https://www.prolineracing.com/wheels...qE3hc1sP2sF8sw

and now i will have to get another set.
