The Dark Knight Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 From what I've read, the stock tyres are meant be ok and the CI foams will improve them. No matter which tyres you end up getting, CI foams will be a worthy upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I ordered them RC Mart so not too long a wait, will let you know when they arrive The CI stand is good for your tyres too, saves them flat spotting when not in use. I went for Double Deuce Comp Cut 5.5 with Medium outer. I was tempted to go for the soft outer but they're more for light rigs, I'm planning on adding a winch, lights, axle weights and a few accessories so medium will be a safe bet.

The Dark Knight Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Yeah that's the ones I've ordered. I'm building mine more for crawling which is why I went for the comp cut. You can get the regular version too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daymo Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 can anyone recommend where to buy some robinson gears for the gearbox i would like the 1 piece out drive plus the other 2 gears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 Don't buy the one piece outdrive, they are really weak, just buy the gear and use the stock outdrives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daymo Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 I need to upgrade the suspension links as there is a load of play in the balls joints & the plastic ones flex to much for my liking any recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
