BiggaH's YTC v4 rebuild by Farmer

[Farmer]

No problem. we're gonna make you run with three wheels on Saturday.....Mr. "I took first by 35 points".......that should drop your rig a few Oh...Zee's.......:lmao:......"thumbsup"

Hah, now I didn't think of that I hope the temps warm up. I actually had to work about a mile away from Auburn Hills today and drove a pack. Definetley gonna take a little getting use to:shock: I need to get a bit more wheel time on it before I know what I really think about this set up. My 600 mah died really fast. See ya in the am.

I thought about those hand warmer packets like Mustangboy uses. He keeps his battery surrounded in one until he is ready to run. May hold a charge longer, I'll run the jeep with the defrost on High.

It's been awhile, since a update....pulled of the slw's to put on my wraith. Got some delrin inner hoops from Rick over at SuperShafty.com for the Wheel Works wheels. Thanks buddy"thumbsup" No weight in the wheels and the rears have been channeled. Rig weighs in at 5.403 pounds. That's with 5.8oz of knuckle weight on each side. This is the set up I will be running at ECC. After ECC I will be changing the chassis to the new bodiless Secret Agent, scx10 shocks, shaved boss claws, and hopefully some carbon fiber beadlock rings. Can't wait to change this rig up again.

Looking good. I for one would consider the Losi tires right now. I tossed my Sedonas in the trash after running the pins.

Well Ted, that's because you don't have to much slick rock out there on the left side. Sedonas rule on our stuff, and we do get chances to run on high traction rock too, so the pins do come out for that too. The pins do work on lots of surfaces, but time and testing has proven the sedonas are great slick surface tires once broke-in properly.

Come out and we will show you

It's funny you say that Ted. I just put my Sedonas back on after running Losi pins for a while. "thumbsup"

Lol figures! Hoppa wil now have an edge over Ted! Lol

 

[Farmer]

The only reason why I was considering the losi tire is, because I thing the hb and aka pins are too tall, wide, and heavy for my liking. These sedonas are good for now especially with the side walls all sanded down.

I ran my Sedonas for a couple of years, and never did get them to work better than Rovers. And then the Losi pins out work both of them. Of course they fully depend on the foam set up. Hours need to be spent to figure it out exactly. Good thing I had access to someone who was willing to do all the work and let me reap the benefits.

So are you saying it was you who knocked over my trash and snatched my sedonas. I killed at least 3 cats over that one.

Also because the Losi tire is probably the best crawler tire out to date. I am all for cut and shut tires, but once you run the Losi pins with a proper foam there is just no going back. Its like once you ran a Berg, the AX-10 just seemed like a real POS.

Now that's what I like to hear"thumbsup" Looks like I may be pulling those slw's back off the wraith to do some comparison. Plus I just destroyed my wraith again on some Kentucky soil, not even any rock crawling So that piece is on the chopping block for now.

It's a deal, I don't think I'll go to 4 right off the bat. I think I'll shoot for under 5 and work my way down. Who knows though. Once it's done you are more than welcome to drive it. I would appreciate some of your input on it"thumbsup"
