Turning radius is absolutely great (tho I dont really understand why a CD help in this area? This was especially noticeable when I let got of the gas and turned at reasonable speeds the truck would turn on a dime! Sweet :)

Will have to play with CD oil... couldn't make the damn thing wheelie no matter what I did! Need to find the golden optimum between handling and MT behaviour!

Will update with some pictures once wireing is done nicely :)

And I still have to figure out how to secure the bats... strapping tape around the TVP's doesn't look good at all... but it works ;)
I have some untaped 40 series masters on my xl length flux and they handle much better than I expected. They handle great for being such large tires. Also, I have mine mounted to some axial beadlock rims.


They say a good mechanic only needs 2 tools - WD40 & Duct tape. If it moves, and its not supposed to, duct tape. If it doesn't move, and its supposed to, WD40.
