RE: THE LOUNGE 2
Anyway, any good recommendation on 2.2" truck rear tires that will be good for general bashing and last a long time? The J82 tires that I got (pin style racing tires) probably shouldn't be used for pavement bashing, etc.
I don't want a 100% pavement tires either.. I have had good luck w/ the Dirt Hawg.. (on my Blitzer) but I am not 100% sure about how it would look as the rear tires of a "buggy"..
Hmm.. thoughts?!

Ordered some Kershaw center dogbones for the Savage (that fit the extended BL RB chassis), some diff shims, a few other odds and ends. Also have 2 YR 25C 5000 mAh 2s hardcase LiPos coming (for about $65 each, not bad!), and an upgraded steering kit.
Next up is a slipper clutch upgrade, hex screw kit, and a few other odds and ends. Then comes the big ol' motor + sink.
LB, I don't think I'll be buying a Pajero any time soon. [sm=drowning.gif]

Eman, Yeah Racing LiPo, eh?! So you are getting them from Hong Kong? Or?!
The center dogbone.. is that an upgrade to your existing unit or you didn't have one for the long chassis before?!

Right now I have the plastic center half-shaft slider things (poor man's CVDs) that fit just fine. But since I'm going BL, I figured I'd upgrade to a stronger component (dogbones from Kershaw). This set is specifically long enough so they'll fit my GCM roadboy brushless edition chassis properly (longer than stock).
I could wait until I rip them up, but I figured I'd be proactive. Gotta tear the truck down for all these upgrades anyway, so I figured I'd do it all at once.
