    I'm into buggys, crawlers, tanks, and I also do helis. This hobby is just as expensive as the mods for our trucks.

    anyone know if the proline velocity wheels fit 12mm hex drive nuts? looking for new wheels for the 1/10 buggy (shattered one) and can't find the answer. all i could find is that they are 2.2s and considered 1/10 scale wheels, but no other specs.

    edit: nevermind, found the answer on ebay of all places.

    Those look like a blast! But I bash my slash so I don't really need two bashers.. put up some pics of the wraith in your avatar if it's yours. I just bought my old wraith back the other day and hope to mod it some more soon.

    haha rok lox is a awesome tire, i run 40 series rok lox on my summit and they are massive! We all got a 1:1 to dump money into

    Nice! pop that wheelie bar off and run 4s for standing backflips, haha.

    I just put a rpm true track rear conversion on mine and it seems like a great upgrade for out the box.


    Nice man, I gotta drive 30+ minutes away for just some decent woods to crawl in, no rocks even anywhere close.

    Took a mini vacation this past weekend to the mountains, ran a few packs through my ridgecrest, no pics tho :( It did out crawl a 1/8 max stone on some hill climbs.

    Gmade reservoir shocks, Gmade rims, Hot Bodie tires, Hitec servo, Traxxas 5800 mah battery, Axial links, Axial C Hubs, Axial universal front axles, Aluminum steering tie rods, Axial 55 turn motor, Castle creations BEC. So thesse are just what Ive done to mine so far. Very happy with it the rig so far. Ive had it for about 6 months now and it has held up very well.
