I think that sounds like a great idea Brandon, I think that if you invest a little time in the over all setup of Ur rig and keep practicing you will have this thing crawling very well, be patient young grasshopper, LOL!!!!
Yeah man patience will help you now. Remember this is a "custom" rig, not just a outta the box ready to go thing so you need to find out what it needs to suit your driving style. Rims will make a difference, I went from over 8 lbs with the 7's too just over 7 lbs with DNA Stalkers with 2 oz in each front. You NEED a scale though imo.
Heres the one I have now and it works great.
Well i changed my shock setup a little and since I couldnt figure out how to lighten it I put 4 oz in each front and switched back to rovers. I also noticed my stall went to the rear (rear wheels turn before front) That would explain why it was "pushing" I think I am going to put the 14 ga on the front instead of 12 maybe that will even it out more. Id rather the front spin first not the rear...
