RE: New additions to the family

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.

i dont like to have any shelf queens either but if you see this suspension up close, its really nice and would be a shame to get it dirty, lol... i can see myself polishing it after every days running, i dont mean cleaning, i mean polishing

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.
