Hey greywolf you got your rusty up to 100mph? Congrats man, post up a video.

 

[Greywolf74]

Well I should say Theoretical 100+MPH Rusty. I got tired of trying to break the 100+MPH mark after spending about $900 on the kit and about $1200 in repairs so I'm in the process of repurposing it Thats the project that I'm working on now. I may attempt it again in the spring but IDK, I'm really wanting to give some of my other rigs attention to. Going fast for 15 minutes and then spending $60-$140 on repairs is getting old. I really dont get it either My build is almost identical or at least very similar to JohnracerX's on youtube and his breaks 100MPH every time. The only difference is his kit weighs about 13 lbs and mine only weighs about 9.5lbs. maybe thats the key but I got tired of dumping money into it.

Yes they are! I picked them up off of one of my buddies here on the site. I thought they go really well with the rest of the truck. Breaks up all the silver...lol

That 1/5th scale baja is SICK

 

[joshman1204]

While I dont consider mine to be nearly as custom or nice as most of these trucks I still think it was a cool looking revo.

How did you like those trenchers? I want to get some for my maxx, the trencher x are little bigger than I like.

 

[joshman1204]

They are good for certain things. I thought it was a little to much tire for the revo unless I was doing hill climbs or something that mostly involved straight line driving. They seemed to have to much "side bite" for weight of the revo and it always wanted to roll over. Now on my XL they are amazing but it seems to have enough weight and power to slide them around just like normal tires and doesn't flip over constantly like the revo.

 

[override]

Well my maxx is 10lb's and ? oz so it might be able to sling them around, it does good with big joes but I don't like running that big of a tire with brushless.
