Well its time to start tweekin the dub. It didnt perform too bad at the first comp, but it has its issues. Time to iron out the bugs.(no pun intended)

first off i wasnt happy with my CG so, converted the front suspension to a full droop setup, 3000 wt shock oil, +3 ounces of weight to front wheels. repositioned front rt upper 4 link to accomodate 2200ma lipo battery.Posted Image

Also ditched the crappy Moabs for a set of Mashers, also reset rear suspension with yellow losi springs(thanks stu) limited travel to half.

Well velcro, i didnt lose 1 battery tonite.

Just an update, met up with harley and derick at glens trail. I succesfully conquered all of the obstacles that I didnt clear last comp, and then some, the dig is awesome, not sure how i got by without it before, its cool to use mid climb to shift over and side track a climb.

however, i did have some problems with the mashers stayin on the Rc4wd beadlocks, they didnt so much. So ill have to iron that out before tomorrow nite.

Yeah, I forgot to mention the famous Masher thin bead. See if you can scrounge up some thin o-rings to stick in there. The alternative is to lathe down the wheels. O-rings are easier :D

Glad to hear it has improved! I was up late last night finishing up some final touches on the WK so it's ready!

What are the specs on that lipo? 3s? how many mah and what is the C rating?

I lost the left rear axle, had to redo the rear steering lockout and glued all my mashers on my beadlock wheels, kinda pointless to have beadlocks, especially for what RC4WD charges for them mugs. still tryin to get my radio all dialed in. might go down to glens trail this afternoon to test a bit.

I run mashers on Axial beadlocks, they stay put! 1/3 the price and twice the bead holding power!

I'm running the axials also and only pulled a bead once and that was at Whipps. Just a small portion came out and only because I was trying to force my way through a crevice
