Clubin’s build thread.

They look very nice.

Our Grave Digger arrived with purple aluminum bead locks but after chatting with Dan I purchased a set of the plastic green bead locks to use when exercising the rig because he said the aluminum are prone to bending.

Are the Taylor version less susceptible to this issue?

 

[Clubin]

Don’t know. Nobody ever said anything.

 

[Shad0man]

Anxious to hear your experience as they look great.

Thank you

I bet the taylor rings are less prone to bending, much more metal compared to the Primal ones that are the same size as the plastic

More quad steer progress/completion. It doesn’t always go good for me. Thread lock needs heat sometimes to release. The odd time that doesn’t work. But it’s done. Decals next.

Dude I think I might snag some of those Mega Tires / Wheels for my Raminator. They are growing on me and much less mass to throw around.

I wish those dang sway bars would work...they look so much better then the stretched ones I have!

Why wouldn't they work?

Time to replace all button heads with cap head hex screws where space allows. It is so much better at not stripping and allowing more power to be applied.

Get torx screws.... what all our rc should come with from the get go.

Decals installed. Some go fast ones.

That added at least 10% more horsepower!

I will beat up the shipping motor this winter. But when the Taylor goes in will be the big change.

I can weigh them when I’m back in the shop. They are heavier.

 

[Shad0man]

Thank you

This is just the tires and rims.
So they are 2 pounds more per corner

 

[Shad0man]

I appreciate it…

2 pounds per corner plus the adapter.

Thank you
