Thanks for the heads up! Fixed.

I just got them mounted up, but I'm worried that they're too short for the course I'm running on. I'll find out this weekend! The Axial rims hold a great bite on the tires doing a pull test on the bead. Just need to get aluminum hexes this week.

Here's a comparison shot for diameter differences. Left to right is Gmade MT1901, Vaterra Race Claw, Axial Maxxis Trepador

[biggamehunter]

them new boots do look small compared to the treps ? i do like them a lot tho !

[Pockets70]

They look and feel good, but yeah, roughly 5mm shorter.

[toyotatrucks83]

Well all you can do is try them out. They look good.
Like I've mentioned in a few posts, I'm a sucker for those axial ripsaws. I haven't run a tire that I like more. And the 1.9 are the same size as the th stockers. So just because everyone is going bigger doesn't mean it is better.

That moment when you rebuild a shock, bleed it, cap it off.... and then realize you've forgotten to put a travel limiter back inside it!
Yeah...that kind of night. Ugh.

Got my front 93mm Gmade's rebuild and internally limited (10mm fuel tubing) and started work on the rear 103 piggybacks. Have to have them done tonight for the race at Glen Helen tomorrow!

[mojave450rider]

Get r done

[Pockets70]

Oh yeah....and new duct tape for panel color HA!

[mojave450rider]

I have a set of nearly new panels painted on the outside.

[Pockets70]

I'm thinking about rattle canning my stock panels, but duct tape is quicker. (this coming from an airbrusher)

[mojave450rider]

I'll bring em with me n let you decide if you want them cuz I don't need them anymore, I also have a new stock cage if you want a spare to chop up and customize?

[biggamehunter]

it looks fully refurbed and refreshed now pockets !! lookin good

[Pockets70]

Another build shot of the 103's. Didn't bleed them very well, but they work. Scared one shaft while threading the eyelet onto the end so that'll have to be replaced. Didn't leak too much at yesterday's race.

[Pockets70]

A note on the Gmade MT1901 tires. They handled GREAT on the tight infield and whoops, but are MUCH shorter than the Axial Trepadors and caused hangup problems in the rock garden portion of the track. Looks like a set of Rock Beasts are going to be my next purchase.

[biggamehunter]

x2 on the rock beasts mate im with you there , my flat irons are outstanding for an old school tyre though ? lovin it with the treps and walkers though great job

LMAO! That has to be one of the best remarks I've received yet! Thanks to a little luck at the track last weekend (thanks Austin/Shawn!), I have a new set of panels now (pics pending). With the holes in the nose from where the headlights used to be, the bashed roof panel and duct tape sides, it definitely looks like beat.

Hi Pockets,
A lot of elbow grease you'r putting on your rig ;) Really love the Destroy look!
Any advise for the build of my Gmade piggybacks as I saw you already built 2 pairs?
Cheers
