Comp prep has begun

[Ritz413]

Testing out changes I made to the coyote in the place the comp will take place. Some good, some less good...more to come before the event gets here.

Looks like I might have a buddy coming with to the comp. Gonna try and talk him into being the camera guy so I can get some footage of my run...no matter how it goes.

The next set of tires says it will be here on the 28th....gives me 2 days to put some run time on them before the competition.

 

[Ritz413]

This set of tires I will probably get a set of lighter weight wheels to mount them and swap them out when I want to run trails with it. They should be a great set out in the woods.

A second look at the tires, and a peak at a different project in the works.

 

[Ritz413]

After today's run I am convinced I have more of a cog/weight bias issue than a tire issue. Gonna be looking for ways to sort that out before Sunday

Powerhobby black brass portal covers ordered. Now hopefully they get here in time.

I love boggers but for serious rock crawling there are many better options.

I got some coming...probably tomorrow. It has a weight bias issue as well which I have some brass coming to help out with. I might try some stuff with the suspension to put more droop in it. The winch servo up on the chassis is not the greatest...

For crawling the more droop you have the better in my experience. My Atlas running boggers runs way better drooped almost all the way.

My plan was gonna be to ditch the springs and try running it before Sunday to see how it all works out. Trial and error before hand, or trial by fire during...its all what I have time for that is what will happen.

They are nhx, from nitro hobbies. About 25$ for a set of 4

how do you like them? I'm trying to find some really good but super cheap tires.

The last video in this post gives you a good amount of info on the tires. They are not fully broken in with just starting running them today...first impressions are pretty good though

 

[Ritz413]

Looks like my PH brass portals covers are in NJ ....might just get here in time...now we wait

 

[Ritz413]

Some of you will find this interesting and or useful...some of you will not watch and never know.

Success!! Delivered to me...and a day early even.
