ehroof,how does the ultrawide handle?have you tried it yet?I was thinking of getting one,they do look very nice!I allready have a lst2 modded,revo3.3 heavily modded and a savage x ss,it would be nice to add to the collection.plus the only lhs in my town only sell's redcat and redcat part's,the down fall is that he over prices his redcat's.He has the ultrawide for 355.00,that's like 100 bucks more.Plus I have to order my fuel on line cause he sell's his for 15 dollars a quart(blue thunder.

Eddie: sure as heck is... lol

The Avalanche is alot of fun, I just got done really breaking it in yesterday afternoon before all the rain and thunder storms hit. I had a few chances to really lay on the throttle all I can say is WOW, Jumped it a couple of times WOW. Already looking at performance mods for it (performance junkie) but i'll wait to install them till I get a good feel for the truck. The truck has outstanding performance outta the box, I was completely impressed. My frist Nitro RC was the Volcano SV. So it's a heck of an improvement.

bro, drop clermontmotorsports.com and email, he will give you a deal, much better than that.

i havent ran it yet but i like the regular tsunami so i am sure this is a million times better, i mean this suspension is real nice, i mean its amazing. it can only be better than the regular tsunami, i would say get it, even if you leave it on the shelf and just look at it!!!!

the ultrawide handles great. set the shocks prety stiff if you are on grass. i was bashing in my backyard and when braking the nose really dips, so much so it flipped over the front.lol. braking and turning it does on a dime. full accelleration and turning it has some understear. but that could be my shocks. they are kinda soft. just my thoughts, take em for what they are.

i had to locktite mine. kept unscrewing. i think i may have to put thicker fluid in them. hey Ehroof? will volcano rims fit on the ultrawide? wait till you start it up with a header on it. sounds sweet. i find the aluminum pipe doesnt hold the oil from the exhaust as much as the plastic pipes also.
