And 10 minutes later peeled a bead. Wondering if it’s my driving style?

Peeled 3 beads in an hour all on the rear. I made sure they were set right. The TREAL beadlocks said they were made for the Proline Hyrax tires but I went with the Traxxas BFG replica ones for the scale looks. Thought they would be the same since the wheel and tire size is specific to the car. Might have been a mistake. I am running it hard on pavement though.

I’m super proud of myself. Went to hobby store today and only spend $9 bucks. Took your advice @Adam490 and got some bigger shock ends. My buddy got the new Losi Baja Rey 2.0 trick truck plus batteries. I was a model of restraint when they had a TRX Blazer.

Had to open it up again. Steering was giving me grief. I had a couple parts I’ve been picking up here and there left to go on the next time I was this far in. Hot racing diff cover, bellcrank, and front driveshaft. The driveshaft is pretty cool, completely replaces the factory planetary gear housing and becomes the output shaft. And a GPM motor mount with heat sink. It gets hot faster with the heavier aluminum wheels. The GPM parts are not as high quality when compared to HR or Vitavon but they seem to work okay. I love this truck but it is a a job to work on it. A lot different than my old RC cars where you pop the top and everything is right there.

Looks awesome. I want a crawler. Are those tires the M1 Evils?

The nice thing is that the parts are so small you can break down sub assemblies on a paper towel to keep stuff straight. The diff on one, trans on another etc. I’ll send a pic after work with it back together.

Here it is ready for the skid plate. I didn’t take pictures of the front diff and transmission apart.

And ready to go. What I would say about this style RC is to know what you’re getting into. All the work is easy and I enjoy it. But... The body is 12 screws and the bottom skid plate is another 12 just to get to what pulling 4 clips gets you to on other RC cars. Don’t get me wrong. I love this little truck and the realism it looks and drives with
... But damn spring is coming and I’m going to be busy doing other s***. Ready to play with it for awhile around camp without breaking it.
