Well, I have some XL Super Swampers coming (), a new rear bumper and a Savox 1231SG for the CR Jeep. Time to ditch the whole stock bumper/tire carrier setup for a sleeker Rock Armor design. The servo is rated: Speed(@6.0V sec/60): .14 Torque(@6.0V oz-in): 444.4, not bad for $74.99. I'm hoping all this bumps up the performance a bit!

I think it will make a difference. No spare tire??? What if you get a flat?

Anyone in here ever run the Baja claw TTC in 1.9? I want something different. Was just going to get tsl xl, which I know are good. Then was thinking pit bull growler, but now I'm thinking I want a little more space between lugs so I'm considering Baja claws. I like the bigger size tires otherwise I'd probably end up with rock beast

I have a set of 1.9 Growlers but haven't tried them yet. They're big, soft and sticky. The Bajas look like they have a more agressive tread pattern with bigger lugs. It's hard to say which one will work better on your local terrain.

Ya, pits seem to have the general acceptance of awesomeness, and tsl xl's are basically up there as well. Being the internet, there's a lot of people that swear by one thing only, everything else is junk.
I've read reviews on the claws that go both ways. Thought I'd ask around Wisconsin. I wish they'd come out with an xl version of the 1.9 rock beast!

Just run the 2.2s

The pitbull foams work for a few weeks, but break down after that. I'm going to try the CI closed cell foams.

I built a new truck, rebuilt another, painted a couple bodies. Rebuilt a 2 speed trans and did a little maintenance on another. Running out of stuff to do.
