dynamite shoes and an associated fly wheel, really a great combo IMO [8D] These shoes are by far the best pair I have owned.

Nice clutch there traxxaskid, I'm planning on ordering the Max Life shoes cause I've got HPI alums with 7 1/2 gallons on them.. The springs have been worn down at the ends, but somehow it still engages okay.



And they look custom cause they are all gold (and blue) now from the heat.

Where'd you guys get your setups?

Tom.

Believe me rcnitrohead, you would not be disappointed with them. I'm running 1.0mm springs and man, they couldn't engage better. I believe I got them from A main. If you have any more questions about them, feel free to ask!

Agreed! I run the same, Dynamite Shoes are the best. Also the Associated Vented Flywheel with the Ofna Pilot Nut. Mugen 1.0 springs a must for me also.

Nice trucks wingedwheel and baurwin. Like the bronc' better cuz it's a ford though . Can't tell baurwin is from texas with all that hot sauce on the stove... I thought things were bigger not hotter in texas!?

I'd like to get the pics off my phone but I don't have a cable for it. Might have to break down and buy another camera again[:@]

So this monday morning we got a crap load of snow. After shoveling the driveway/sidewalk/yard I built myself a 3ft tall snow ramp. Here are the results!











Damage is an effed up body and something in the driveline gave way.. I've only got RWD, but man was my truck wild today. I was doing burnouts on barely wet pavement with these tires and I've never seen these tires expand so much, must have been 12 inches wide. Most air off the ramp was 8-9ft, I did maybe 30 jumps and landed most of them. Had a few cartwheels and landed on the bed 3-4 times which is what finally killed the body, its been long overdue! I wanted to get a movie but it was sooo cold, I had to go inside and warm up while the truck idled in the yard, (didnt want to shut off cause the one way is cooked and would be a pain to restart LOL).

Tom.

Haha thanks, I actually put 2 fresh zip ties on before I went out today and the first two bed landings killed it. A tiny bit of the damage was from yesterday though.

I realized my low setup and bow ties weren't too hot in 8 inches of snow lol. As a remedy, I lifted my savage as high as she could go, put the original tires on backwards and today she ripped I'll get a vid for you guys tomorrow.

Nice! Yeah in all the other snow falls I used my on road tires because the one of the stockers has a stripped hex and I had an extra from a parts lot I won. It was partially glued and filled with water, I squeezed that baby out and glued it and here we are, cept they didn't work that much better lol.

P.S. - I'm now accepting body donations in any condition LOL! Hey that would be pretty cool to cut out usable pieces from peoples messed up lids and stitch em together eh[8D].

rcnitrohead, haha man, I can only imagine how disastrous trugging around in the snow with street tires was! and don't worry, I too am missing the rear half of my stock body my charger body is also well on it's way to completely breakin down, but I'll ride that thing until there's no longer a roof. And then comes my crowd pleazer

the charger body in grander days...this was from last summer. I frequently switch between two styles, the one pictured and then the racier type setup with my bow-ties,dishes, dropped suspension and pleazer body

Nice! I love that Mach with the hot flywheel and clutch, you have me jealous. Time to start looking for a new body, I need something sleek that can cut through the air but protect my engine in the rear[>:]. Or maybe someone will react to my free body add with some other junker and I'll create the Frankenstein lid of all R/C cars! As a matter of fact, before I run my truck again, I'll try taping with truck up with the really good tape I nabbed from the hospital I volunteer at, 3M and zip ties to the rescue baby! [>:]

Thanks for the praise[8D] But you'd be surprised how far a couple of zip ties could take you, in reference to fixing a body that is haha
