I want to thank diamond D If it wasn't for him I'd never have such a sweet ride since it's a copy of his pretty much lol
Im taking to the first comp after the rebirth this weekend.
I still need to do a few things tho.

Would love to see that mini get hung up on a break over :lmao:

 

[darkmanx]

[Diamond D]

[Chaotic Crawlers]

That's a good lookin rig!!
I love the skins!!!

What size battery is that???

 

[baddman]

That's a 800 and I Also use 450's
With the stock chassis I liked the 800s better.
By the way guys thanks for the kind words.

I really like the skins Krawler Konceptz rocks !!

 

[Chaotic Crawlers]

Ive thought about runnin that style of mount, but my elite 1300 doesn't fit very well in there.

 

[baddman]

I'm loving the set up!
I do think the rear has to lite of oil, so I'll be going to 50 wt oil in the rear.
I also cross cut my front rovers I think this helped grab better but did hurt my sidehill.
I'm working on some 6 inch rovers for rip rap. How well do 6 inch handle??

Heres his link to the mount.
I like the mount, I may turn mine up a bit more but this totally lowered the CG from where I ran the battery on top of the axle.

Thanks Jim. i just asked him if he still had any for sale. i really like the idea.

It's been awile since I updated this post.
I'm headed to the Vegas nats In a few days.
So here's the changes.

Im running 4s 800 mah for more power and swapped motors to some old school 4wheel mod motors from back in the day, they seem very smooth on low end and plenty of power on the top( I tend to drive fast )
I also upped shock oil to 80wt all around with stock mrc silver springs in front and blue miniT rear springs in rear.
Also added some sven rear knuckles weights and modded them to set out on the axle for more clearance.
For tires Depending on the rock and how dirty it is I'm using sedonas or pins.
I'm liking the HB blocks with boss claw foam in rear and CI foam med center memory center and med outer ring front and topped them off with CI wheel wideners and for sedonas im using the standard setup of med/soft front and firm/med rear CI foam, I feel both tires out perform my rovers.
Diamond D just set me up a set of boss claws all trimmed up in case I don't like the feel of the blocks at nats, I've never ran they type of rock before so I'm not sure what I'm in for? We will find out in a few days!!

 

[dogzpolo]

Nice rig I love the skins Do you run more weight in one tire setup vs the other?? I'm also wanting to get either some sort of pin tire or sedonas, which one would you get first. I have mostly sandstone around me.

 

[baddman]

Thanks i like my skins also.
We don't really have alot of high traction sandstone where I live in washington so it's hard to say for me right now but I like my sedonas at most areas I've ran. After Vegas that should give me a better grasp on how they work on high traction rock.
The sedonas work great for me with 4 weights per side in the front because the tires feel like they climb by grabing and holding ledges or cracks For pins I've been using fully loaded cuz I'm spinning tires more looking for traction and use momentum to climb.

So the sedonas are a more all around tire to me.

 

[CrawlHer]

looking good jimbo slice"thumbsup" good luck at nats buddy. i just got a set of sedonas so i cn try them out finally.

Hey I'll get ya a pic of how I grooved and cut the donas! They hook up man!
I found that most of the time I prefer the tall 6 inch donas on the west side cuz of the jagged rock but Damm the block pins hooked up last weekend. I was happy to pull a 3rd off when I trashed my gears on the first course. I drove most of the course with the bias turned down to keep what was left of the gears together. lol

I'm thinking berg!!!!! Cuz I like a heavy comp rig
