Grass track is usually very short and well maintained which is why I queried using the AKA tyres. Badlands I was told trimming the outside lugs and dropping ride height would help with traction rolling?
The AKA's you mentioned might work if the grass is short. Otherwise, clipping the down the outside edge of the Badlands should work.

I have the turnigy 5000mah, 40c, and I can definitely tell the difference between the 20c as far as punch before a jump. I had to shave some of the battery tray for the wires but it's nice a snug in there with the padding and doesn't rub the body.
congrats? I can't and ive been running 20 - 40c packs for 2+ yrs now... not too worried.

I would just order from HobbyPartz, they are in Socal, and you can get Blue Lipo, which is pretty much the same exact thing. And it comes in a few days.

Any reason why there aren't rubber boots on the center CVAs? I know it is cleaner inside, but wouldn't it help?

I guess the front ones wouldn't stay on with high steering angles.

EMS shipping does not make anything come through customs any faster, so you are throwing away your money.

Gregg I run one single 4s 5000mah lipo velcro'd down with a strap over it for safety.. its really unneeded. Just incase I come off " THE BIG ONE" and land funny. I learned from the last 3 electric buggies... velcro your batteries down and they wont move AT ALL In fact its kinda a P.I.T.A to get them out after a good run.
