Get Pic you guys
It was cool to hang out a day sunday with you Jeremy and to bad you didn't keep the 10 points per gate I was gonna give ya for my mini course. :lmao:
Just goes to show how honest a guy you are. "thumbsup"
 
pretty much....

changed up my boss claws a bit and went back to the dirty harry's.

working like a charm!

i will try to post some pics later"thumbsup"
 
are you still running your knuckle weights with the DH's or did you give up on them?

nope... just the dirty harry's.

i just never liked the feel of the knuckle weights. where everyone says they help,, my car was not really effected. they did infact make the car suffer in other area's.

might just be me, but i like my stable, heavy truck:lmao:
 
shaved up and worn in claws

i have been running these for a few months like this and i am really lovin this tire shaved like so. keep in mind these are the same set of tires i have been running for about a year.

i took them off at ECC and the results were not favorable.

they do infact take some time to tune to your specific weight but once you hit the sweet spot they really do perform very well and are very consistent."thumbsup"

I agree 100%. I have been running the shaved sides red dot Boss Claws with excellent results."thumbsup"
 
Do you want to share your foam set up?
I shaved my boss claws and they look about as worn as yours and it seemed like I really lost performance...I thought maybe they are worn out..but they look about the same as yours..

I'm seeing the same thing with my XR. The knuckle weights were the best thing I ever did for the Losi, but I'm sticking with DH's up front on my XR.

like i said the wieght of your truck is crucial to the foam set up. my set up will probobly work like ass if you are lighter than 6 lbs

thanks jake, i was beginning to feel like i was more crazy than i already am.......

Is it just the picture or are you running your links level now?

they rotate slightly giving the illusion but they are all the same."thumbsup"
 
Makes me feel better keep seeing where everyone says they around little over 5lbs,I am a little over 6lbs and anytime I try to go lighter the rig suffers.I'm new at this but I also thought my stock fully loaded slug wheels behaved better than my slw with the knuckle weights.Going to have to get me some dh up front or cut my stock wheels.Also just outboarded my rear shocks. Loving how it handles sidehilling but haven't really got it into any real technical places to see how it does.

My shaved claws look like this too. My sidewalls are really soft and thin. I hated them at first because my foam was letting the tire get all wdded up like Cougars used to. I think I have figured out the foam, and they seem pretty good now... but you have about twice as much tread on yours as mine :shock:
