so far they are working great they are new so maybe they will get even better.They cause the rig to dance left and right because of the big lugs.They dont seem to sidehill as good on a slick surface so I may need to sipe them alot.got about 15 packs through them already.Also seems like they want more weight up front,going to try that now

Heavily siping them will reduce hop, and increase sidehill ability.
I mailed those spacers a little while ago. "thumbsup"

Ryan (ittybitty) at East Coast RC, siped mine like this, plus he siped the small triangle lugs in half after this pic was taken.

That's a lot of siping. Front and rear or just fronts?

Well some stupid driving and some light weight issues caused the SA to plunge off about 25 to 30ft :shock: I did not even want to look over the edge to see if it was still together but when I did it happen to be on all fours and keep on driving for another hour and a half.
we will see tomorrow at its first comp if there was any damage that I cant find tonite so far so good:ror:

Probably fell like a feather:lmao::lmao: Guess this is as good a time as any to test durability. One thing to maybe look at would be the rear axle shafts.
And good luck at the nats Austin

That's a benefit of a light rig, they don't land as hard as the heavy ones.
How much limiters do you have on your shocks?

I got some good video of some lines that I have never seen done before the camera sucks but if you can relate to where I am it is very impressive that this rig can do what it has done these last 3 days

About 3/16 internally and 1/8 external in the front
rear 3/8 internally and no external

Nothing is final yet though I have got to see how much belly clearance I can get without harming the performance
