Haven't done any video because I keep forgetting. Been having too much fun and I finally remember when I'm packing it up after the fact. I'll get a quick little carpet video just to show how planted it stays. I used to get twisted on this carpet as well..I took a bunch of pictures and a few videos while I was out wheeling yesterday. I'll hopefully get the chance to post them up soon. You can definitely here the bbs, and on level ground it makes it lunge as the roll around, but they did help with performance.
I bought some sticky weights at my LHS the other day I just haven't isntalled them yet.
You'll see in my vids where I'm wheeling has a lot of iron ore gravel making it hard to crawl. Honestly a lot of times wheel speed is your best friend taking some of the precision out of the equation. This drives me crazy because when I used to wheel my real Jeeps I made a lot of people look bad by crawling up what they couldn't because they were applying WAY to much throttle. Stickier tires will probably help with that.
I'm going to have to read back over yalls suspension mods, I wasn't sure I wanted to delve into this thing quite that far, but ur performance sounds awesome! That torque twist is driving me nuts. At the very least because my Temper looks silly hunched over crooked while driving and rubbing the body alot. I still want to mount the battery on the front servo and see if that makes a difference, but I'll either have to get a smaller more compact pack or some wheel spacers. Have u taken any vids since reworking the suspension?
+1 on the tires. These things hold up great on rock or anything made of it, or textiles. Sand, pebbles, anything loose forget it. Ive been holding off trying to remain content, but I want to be able to do some trail tracking and these tires are just wrong for it.Looks great @Tyork_tex! I think some stickier/softer tires will give you the crawling performance you'looking for. The stock rims aren't quite 1.9 size, but they'll fit (I think the stockers are about 1.7).
I have a couple vids in the Temper section on my indoor rockpile.
