They feel and drive really nice, few issues but those are quite easy to sort. And with your direct shock setup the same chassis now. They can be a bit top heavy, would get it to droop as low as possible and it will perform better with some 25qid metal axles transform it into a really planted crawler.

Cheers Redback I’ll set about getting it as low as pos tomorrow, I know taking the wheel of the back will help but kinda like the way it looks with on lol Where you getting your parts from, is it aliexpress?

Redback Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I tend to by from the uk. https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/ftx-outback-fury-hi-rock-alloy-axle-housing-front-rear-1pc--447268RGT EX86110 would be the model on ali express i would guess. Its the same drive line as the highrock so same parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am running them but they are on the gatekeeper right now, i did use the plastic at the start but upgraded every bit to metal. The metal steering is a bit longer than stock for some reason, so i needed to make a new one, again used the element steering bar with traxxas rod ends.

Stormbringer Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 That was going really well there Have you weighted the wheels ? How are you finding the slightly wider stance of new wheels ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the wider stance and extra stability, I think this is the setup I’ll be keeping , it’s a beast lol Nah didn’t bother adding any weight’s to the wheels but I am running an alloy rear axle Cheers mate 👍🏻 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
