Just tiptoe thru the tulips!!!

I used to get it a half dozen times every year as a kid. There is no one who spots this stuff before me,lol

Between the new rc4wd tires, the lighter 20wt shock oil all around, the title is accurate. One of my favorite videos to make to date.

The driving in the video, i have not vented the tires. I checked on the motor, more than a battery into the run, still sitting at 92deg. in the hottest spot. The new rims are only 38.5g keeping the rotating mass to a minimum.

Looks like it is hooking up very well on those rocks! Little changes add up!

I was super impressed how well it did out there. I was expecting at least a drop in side hill capability having lifted the truck with some extra preload, and gone slightly taller on the tires. I don't think it decreased at all.

After today's run, I have 19.22 miles on the truck total. So far the worst problem has been the front shocks losing some oil. Hardly worth mentioning with how common that is for rc vehicles.
