    I agree. For what they do they are def bad ass. They can hold their own but they arent quite as good in the open desert was the point. He posted the KOH video to try to prove to a certain member that they perform just as good in open desert. The way they are hopping through the mild whoops probably wasnt the best video to try to prove that lol

    KOH is not supposed to have baja sized woops. completely different race, just thought a solid fron axle truck can go fast would be appreciated in here.

    that wasnt the point, the point was that IFS performs better in the desert than a solid axle. you dont see trophy trucks with solid axles... thats what he was trying to prove

    IDK if any of you guys use these when taking apart the truck or anything for that matter but they are awesome! Write on them with a dry erase marker and you are golden when it comes to not loosing shit and knowing where it went.

    They are 50% off now at HF
