I Bought some Amazon Beadlocks and a set of Injora SuperSwamper knock offs.
Unfortunately I bought the wrong size. I got the 1.9 tire in 110mm diameter.
What I SHOULD have got is the 1.9 tire in 120mm diameter, which pretty much is what the Stock Nitto Trail Grabbers measure out to. I loose about 5mm ride height and lower my gear ratio a slight bit. More on this later.
I also installed my new Holmes Hobby Crawlmaster Sport 15T and dropped one tooth down to 13 on the pinion, again, lowering my Gear ratios a bit. Love this Combo so far!
Also I Fixed my stinkin Dig once and for all. Burned a Hundred Dollars worth of incense and Shouted Arcane Incantations at it :mrgreen:..... Trail Tested on the rocks and it works flawlessly."thumbsup"
I had to get rid of the stock radio (because it sucks). My options were to buy a Spektrum DX5 to bind to the Stock Firma ESC,,,,,for about $150....My old DX3 wont bind to the Firma and its new architecture, and this is not the First Time Spektrum has rained on my Parade.:evil:....
OR,,,,,Toss the Firma ESC, buy a 1080 QuickRun and a GT5B radio for about $100 total. Y'all can probably guess which Direction I went with That.....
Turns out the GT5B is nicer than I expected. No regrets there!
So. Hows it all workin out? Very Nicely indeed.
The HH Motor is awesome. Even with the smaller tires and smaller pinion, the Truck is faster than Stock and feels Way more torquey. The new Tires are a Lot stickier than the Nittos and make for a marked improvement in my local Rocks, although I DO notice/miss those 5mm of ground clearance. I tend to look at the Bright Side. My Center of gravity is 5mm lower, right? Better side hilling, lol. And now that my Dig is not pissing me off anymore, well,,,, thats a good thing too! The Truck s working better than ever and I am mucho pleased!
For the Future? I would like to try a lighter body. Maybe the JConcepts Power Wagon. I think thats about the End for mods on this Truck. Gotta save money for my Next Platform
