Just got my TBR wheelie bar yesterday and got it installed and tested. This is a must have and also makes the truck look better imo. I wheelied up and down my block last night and had an insanely great time!

I had a sumo racing rear skid plate installed that I took off when I installed the wheelie bar. The wheelie bar bolts right onto the same area and offers the same protection as the skid plate. Same goes for the front bumper.

Just called T-Bone, they are waiting on the wheels for the wheelie bar for my order to be shipped. Hopefully they ship out this week

Is it worth getting...I will be a light basher if that, nothing heavy on my end so I might pass on the items below unless I need to have

*M2C Racing Tekno Rear Shock Tower Brace?
*Carbon Fiber Center Diff Brace?
*TKR5262 CNC Split Cntr Diff Mount?

I run the TKR5262 on all my Tekno's.

Just got my MT today. Now I have to decide on tires. I am down to 2 choices - Badlands MX or Super Swamper.

Those are huge..spoke with Tekno and they recommended the Shockwaves or regular Badlands

I wanted to go a little big on this truck. The Badlands MX on RCWERKZ's truck looks great. My son likes the Super Swampers. I will probably end up ordering those.

Super swapers are nice wheels.

Thicker center oil will mean the truck will have a tendency to wheelie more. The kit says to build the diffs 100k-100k-50k, F-C-R. If you're driving on looser terrain dropping the diffs will improve handling to a point. If you go too low in the diffs the truck will become "grabby" and diff out in turns, it will feel inconsistent. The lowest I would run the front is 10k, center 15k, rear 7k, but that's the lowest. I prefer thicker diff fluids in all of my race cars so I would never run my MT diffs that light, I'd probably stay above 20-20-20 in every situation.
Another thing to consider is the size/weight of the tires. Bigger heavier tires are going to require heavier fluids to feel the same as lighter tires. The bigger tire usually has more traction, more traction means thicker diffs. There's more rotating mass with the bigger tires so when a tire diffs out and they get going they really spool up - thicker fluid helps keep that under control. Another thing is since thicker fluid means less diff action, there's less heat buildup in the diff. You're diffs will last longer between rebuilds with thicker fluids.

Changing diff oil is a fairly quick and easy adjustment (especially the center) so it's worth trying out to see how the car feels.

What would be a MT410 recommend Weight in mid/rear diff when running only 2WD ? I do not race competitively but plan to remove front shaft for a Test with 1580kv ( high C rated 4S ) using Associated Rivals ; Running surface will be combo of grass, dirt, and pavement . :tire:
