how do you like those tires man?

retrosoul

they do ok on medium pack dirt. im looking for more agressive for hard pack dirt. and im also looking for paddles for the beach. the foam is holding up pretty good unlike the redcat stock wheels i still have the stock rims ready for new tires but i dont know what will fit on them im looking for road tires for those i do all my tuning on road

retrosoul

8 inches of rain is really making me depressed ive only ran 1 tank since the header and tuned pipe was installed didnt even get a chance to tune it

uhoo_01

there not uw control arms just nami ones , and the ali arms i made are 12mm alloy rod with 6mm slots done with a endmill just one cut straight in . and the length of it end to end is 75mm and the slot length is up to you just make sure every thing clears when it goes up and down. the hole possie is up to you just measure your turbuckle and get the distance from hole to hole. if thats not right your camber will be out.

awsome i have some 12mm alloy rod in my tool box at work that i salvaged i also have alloy for my wheel extensions when ever i get some time at work im thinking of going in on a saturday off the clock to make those and some other items.

eminentguitar

hey retro now when you break a shock on your tsunami you can just take one off of your tmaxx lol. Does the tmaxx have reverse? I think your like the tmaxx. I work with a guy that is selling one for 100 dollars I think im going to buy it

retrosoul

no it doesnt have reverse traxxas totaly dumped reverse on all the new trucks. from what the guy at the lhs said the reverse was a week gear and caused alot of issues with shifting like clunky shifting stuff like that and there was problems with the optidrive etc etc i dont need reverse i never corner myself. ok heres a good story i was outside waiting for my little brother to show up and i heard a nitro startup and the dude across the street had a savage and it kept stalling bogging and i couldnt see any blue smoke so i ran over there as fast as i could and i retuned it for him and then i ran and got my nami and we raced head to head and the nami smoked the savage. im sure its prolly cus the savage was 5 years old but it sounded strong. and now i have some 1 to bash with just need to work on the language barrier im still waiting to fire up the maxx my wife took off to the store and left my kid here i cant do a break in with my kid here.
