Hey Badger, The rig looks sick with all those lights!
Great action pics and video too! Love the Bean:mrgreen: Everyone trips out when they see pics or video of the surface texture.
Just curious, how much weight are you running in your aluminum rims?

Not this time but chino63 has been known to get into an accident or two at the Bean.
You know, I am still seeing a chiropractor from the effects of that crash. Damn LandCruiser came out of nowhere.

I got all the lights installed (for now, got a surprise from Brandon coming soon). Since I'm not using the blinker LED's I took the 5 LED light string and removed one of the LED's then extended the center of the wire to make it wide enough reach both headlight buckets.

Where did you get those light buckets?
They came with the Axial Trail Honcho body.

Haha, you got enough lights on there??
Seriously, looks like a great job. Very nice job on the wiring. Rock lights look great!

Thanks guys.
The rock crushers are my favorite looking tire but the bead on them is so thin that once you get tires/beadlocks wet they throw a bead. At our KOB 1 event I lost beads three different times, the last time the tire came completely off the rim and was rolling next to the rig before I even noticed I lost a bead. :roll: I also like how the rock crushers don't hook up like "comp" tire would, it's a scaler and to me half the fun is struggling over obstacles a bit.
Now the rok lox are a different story, the bead is fine on them so they don't throw a bead if you drive through water, I ran them for our KOB 2 event and had no issues at all. I love the tread pattern on them but just didn't like how tall they were at first but since I've had them on my rig for a little while now I'm starting to love how they look on it. They perform much better then the rock crushers but not as good as a comp tire IMO. They are a great all round scale tire and they will be staying on my rig for a while.
I don't think you can get just the driving light housings, I think Axial only has one light housing parts tree.
heres the axial light bucket set http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Axial-Light-Bucket-Set-Black-AX80045-p-18122.html

I concur on the tire comparison. I ran the Rock Crushers at both KOB1 and KOB2 and both times I blew 3 beads. At KOB1 Badger and I went back and forth on who blew more beads throughout the race. At KOB2 Badger had no blow outs and my 3rd blow out of the day nearly cost me the win.
After KOB2 we were crawling around and you could really see the difference between the old compound (Rock Crushers) and the newer compound (Rock Lox) tires. I have a set of the new compound Rock Crusher tires, but like Badger, I actually like the slipping in a way.
