Rolland is a very wise man!

those wheels make it handle perfectly on the beach. it takes off with one hell of a rooster tail, and builds speed a lot quicker than with the tmaxx wheels n tyres. it was into second gear just about straight away and the handling was just as good at high speed. Finally some good power on steering, makes me question the need for a centre diff really, for my purposes at least. i could roll it if i really went silly with it, but surprised me with just how well it stayed upright, especially in the deep soft stuff.

Trouble is, its that enthusiastic with the power, my 2 speed appears to have blown up somewhat... suspecting a collapsed bearing, its all looking a bit sorry for itself in there. single speed coming up, will use 39t spur and 15t pinion, ie 2nd gear only - it really doesnt need 1st with these lighter wheels.

thanks Rolland, i really didnt expect it to handle quite as well as that!
