So I just got a couple of parts in to get my car rolling. It was okay with the street slicks. But then I had an idea. I know, this may be sacrilege, but I pulled the bumper off my TA05 and tried some big fat 90mm OD crawler tires on for size.
This chassis is really fun. Power sliding around corners. With the stock hard springs it corners surprisingly well with these giant wheels and completely unchecked camber and toe. I ran it on road, no fear, open chassis. It's like a short suspension buggy.
The tires scrub a little on max turn. But wow, how refreshing it is to have a chassis that can go fast and roll over most road things, like curbs and rocks. The best part is, it will eventually have a scale looking body, none of this spaceship buggy business. Any suggestions? I have a Toyota Land Cruiser body I might try on for size.
This is how it will be for now because it's too fun.
