new wheels - better jumps - 05.20.2009, 05:15 PM

I had 4 lipos in a row today, without big problems. I have new (old) wheels I got cheap on ebay once. I have no Idea wich model they belong to. I have put some harder foam inside, to get the wheel more stable.


the diameter is slightly less than the crime-fighter truggy wheels (where one tyre is damaged). so I guess I need a 14t pinion, accelleration w. the 13t was a bit less then w. cf-wheels. top-speed was also a bit less.

on dusty ground the grip of the crime fighter was much better, but jumps and landing was by far better with these wheels. still I have better ground clarence then w. buggy wheels. these new old wheels are, even whith the new foam inside, about 80-100 grams lighter each.

best jumps today were around 10 meters, most times landed on all four wheels, just lovely.

the front bumper did a great job when I didn't land perfectly... also the new chassis has a great handling. I've put some weight (30g) to the front, so handling is just great now (less wheeling).
was good fun today
:D
