Yeah, we have our share of mud around here, but I just never cared much for them.

I love watching it, but I would never want to do it. The cleanup afterwards scares me too much

I prefer the look of the Mickey Thompsons, but I think of all the rigs out there the tractor tires would look the best on the Betty. How is that for not being helpful.

 

[Greywolf74]

nah, You guys convinced me to stick with the MTs. I feel in love with em when I first saw em and I dont think I've seen anyone else in here rockin' em so Ima stick with em

I've got a set of Mickeys on my green deadbolt, they look great.

I almost went for the Patagonias but in the end the Mickys won out

Thanks Kev but I'm gonna wait until I can get metal ones. Besides I've spend as much on Betty as a full blown 1/8 scale kit at this point. lol

Furitek just came out with a V2 of the Lizard. It now has a positive on-off switch, plugs instead of cables for the motor, a higher/adjustable BEC up to 6.5v, and it can now handle 3s! All in a tiny little ESC. Plus it still has that super slow crawling ability. Definitely grabbing one of these bad boys...

 

[Doom!]

Nice, glad I haven't got the other one yet, the upgrade looks good! Thanks for the heads up.

It's not listed on their site yet, so not sure when it will actually be available. I am ordering a PN Racing motor/motor mount/gear set for the Deadbolt from Kenon Hobby in a couple weeks. Saw a vid on it and it looks pretty powerful.

New portal axles with optional brass upgrades and extended Super 8 axles available now. These portals are definitely going to be on one of our rigs.

I wonder if there is any info out there on what paint best matches the Betty the closest. I still intend on grabbing a Betty body and painting one up myself. Just haven't got around to researching that yet.

I really want the green C10, but I don't care for the smaller tires and less ground clearance. However, these porter axles would be a game changer.

The bad thing with the C10, even with those smaller tires, they still rub the body. I like the look of the small tires, so yeah, the portals on it would be pretty sweet.

 

[Tunedfrog]

I had to trim the body on my C10 a little bit but still rubs. Not nearly as bad though.

I thought about doing that, but then I saw these portals were going to be available soon, so I waited. Now it is just the matter of money

That's my life story!
