got bored with the tread design of the factory ridgelines, and how non-traction like they were,
and me+bored=creativity so heres what happened,
**warning, please do not attempt if your not sure what your doing,
or you do not have the right tools, a couple wrong cuts and your out a set of tires**
trimmed all the short lugs off, with these precision cutters,
very very very time consuming, 15-20min/tire but they work great
now, the long lugs i left act like little fingers, they grip incredibly well on any surface,

Re: Venom Crawler Stage 2 Suspension HELP
You have to use the edge of a glass or metal table and a screwdriver. There are other ways but this works quick and easy.
Start with one pin in the hole and use the screwdriver shank to hold it in place, then push it downward on the table.
They wont break it will pop in.

yes, they come with pin collars to go around the cvds' in the axles and also have pin retainers that go over the pins in the driveshaft also "thumbsup"

Instead of buying lockers or gluing the diff switch, I've found that you could back the small screw out a little on the left of the locking switch. The head of the screw will keep the diff from sliding and coming unlocked. So it'll save you a few bucks instead of buying a locker and a headache or two when trying to remove the bonding agent to replace parts.

Anyone else have a problem with low wheel speed? And should I change out the transmission?

Anyone else have low wheel speed, and a weird jitter in the rear axle? Should I get a 35t motor to replace my 55t or what? Any suggestions? Or just swap the transmission out?

Sorry about the double post but I didn't see it go up on the thread.

If you have a "weird jitter" in the rear axle Id say you might have a missing tooth on the pinion gear, the ring gear or the spider gears in the rear differential. Id tear it apart and check it out.

This must been tried out by someone already, but i realized that removing those outer springs you´ll get a droop suspension:
Eagerly waiting for testing that..
Hey, what tyres and rims are those, they look like an awesome combo"thumbsup" thanks

Dont get a 35t motor, your run time and torque will suck, trust me, mine was like that when i bought it second hand. A great combo is 55t with a 20 tooth pinion, you get a good run time, great wheel speed and decent torque. If you want it even better, get a novak timbuk2 ballistic brushless crawler combo (18.5t motor), it is amazing on the creeper with the rock boost (R) feature. Use original 15 tooth pinion. Thats the best i have had experience with. Hope this helps.
