ohh, he ment CVs... when I get the $$

any idea on a good tire that will hook up on a dry, hardpacked, dusty track???

its got a coating of dust(sand) on the top, and underneath its rock hard...

CVDs will work but for the centers because of the limited travel I use dog bones. A very simple, tough and efficient way to transfer power. I got mine from Mike here in RC-monster. My old chassis but you get the idea:

1 raceday down well, at least I didn't finish dead last, I beat a 2wd truggy and a guy who blew a glow plug...:oops: this is in a truggy class

I had a new first though, I snaped a traxxas hingpin into 3 pices, I didn't know they were that hard, usualy they just bend into a prezzal shape:lol:

I also broke 2 lower A arms... within 5 min of runing

the eaten servo count is up to 4, now I run a ofna saver on the servo since the maxx one is a POS


I'll have more pics of my new low cog CF chasses:yipi: 1 question, how diffrent are the tranny mounting holes on a 3906 and the 3905??


a few new pics...

i would run the bow ties, less rotating mass. if your looking to get a better servo saver system,mod the stock one like i did.
