Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
nope, soft (red dot) panthers. fronts were medium (silver dot) panthers. I loosened the slipper a touch and could probably get 3 packs on a pair of rears afterwards.
the factory boys were tossing wheels/tires out by the bucketloads (makes me sick really), cut the tires open, pull the foam and toss them away.

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
they work really well. the rear buggy shocks are a bit short (for stock rear towers), so either a truck shaft/buggy shock body, or truck shock body/buggy shaft would be ideal. i am running 55 pistons w/35 wgt losi oil, stock red front springs and yellow buggy rears. car handles very well and lands big jumps very nicely.
I will look into changing the shock bodies out to get the proper droop in the rear, i did get some chassis slap today off the big triple at the outdoor track i ran at today.
I will eventually put them back on my 22 and return to gold shocks, they all have a fresh rebuild on them, maybe just update to big bore springs.

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
found some recent race pics:
TLR 22 shocks
Crooked jump
Straight jump
Level jump
Diving hard into corners
I even allowed Jared Tebo (I think that is him) to hold my gold pan

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
I wish we had a nice track like that here and not a blown out POS from all the POS 1/8 nitro cars! Did I mention I hate 1/8 buggies? No or very little skill required IMO! 2WD rules!
Love your car and shots BTW, just don't like the desecration with the Losi shocks!

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
When AE brings out buggy big bores, I will swap them out. Then my naked 22 can have its shocks back

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
so, feels like years since I posted in here...what a prophetic last post I did too
chassis back from powdercoating
Better pictures after I get the slipper parts and rest of it put together.

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
Looking good! Can't wait to see it run. Are you going to keep the brushed electronics in it or go blinky 17.5 with this one?
Old school racing all the way!

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
Its staying brushed for right now, runs fantastic with the 19T double in there. I have so many other irons in the fire right now that all my brushless equipment is tied up, between the 3 classes I run and 2 for my boy, we are brushless poor not to mention 2 crawlers & the 1/4 scale dirt bike
I did some quick testing out front of the house, those AE 12mm big bores are smooth and sweet, I cannot wait to hit the track and see how it performs!

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
Thats cool, I'm saddened its not gold anymore though. I think that is the eye catcher. I don't know how many times I heard at Cactus "What is that?.... is that..... A gold tub?"

Re: Goldie into Runner Build #2 - Stealth edition
I will build another gold car, with the worlds style machining and the cost of real worlds chassis, I couldnt bring myself to buy one to race, so I had this one powdercoated satin black to make it a "faux" worlds car
