My new sneaks showed up today???..IRP wheel adapters will be here tomorrow along with a few other goods.I'll get a pic of how they look with a proper fitment. Wasn't sure about buying these at first but I am very happy with them.

Here are the RC Max wheels on the TT..???.. installed a set of billet spindles just waiting on some bearing carriers to come in stock, the aluminum pieces definitely changes all my settings..I have a little bind on my plastic carriers, but I'm super happy with these,pics don't do justice. And they look better than I thought on this.

Looks awesome, what you doing for the body?

 

[PortCityRC]

Not too sure yet taking suggestions though..If I find 1 more lexan set I'll do the factory wrap too, but was thing a black paint job with ghosted or flat accents because black goes with anything and looks hott, I think it'll make that billet stick right out. Engine ordered has red ano on it. Also considering hydrographic wrap but can pick a color or pattern, I like them all but Id like to be original. I have sooo many ideas..thermochromatic. I have 2 bodies to experiment with.

Shes definitely feeling pretty chunky already,I'll get us the weight as soon as we get this engine. I'm very curious as well. Cant not wait even though there is snow here. With the 80,4wd and these lugs..its should definitely dig in and boogie!! They remind me of snowmobile lugs.???

Another little gem showed up today?
Installed, gonna grab snappy rc 3 hole grommet,plug the hole in the cap and run a separate vent tube

Got my DDM chrome springs today and the vertigo aluminum pin posts, the springs are definitely a stiffer rate, should help with the big bore and the extra added weight.

 

[crucialRC]

Hold up. DDM sells for the kv5 too?

Hell yeah my dude that's where I get most of my goods

 

[crucialRC]

?Springs look similar if not a bit thinner tho. You sure they are a higher spring rate and not just a chromed out stock version? Do you have a link bro?

 

[PortCityRC]

I know it hard to tell..the pics don't really do it..I know they are definitely a different rate than my TT springs thatd for sure..but they may be the same as your vekta, ga. of steel does look close to the same but I don't have a caliper here to measure, but here's the link https://www.davesmotors.com/DDM-Chrome-Shock-Springs-Kraken-Vekta-REAR
Oh it says same tension as stock on the bottom of the page..my bad!!! ?‍ ?‍?‍did not notice this..but it is an upgraded tension rate for my TT.
