They work much better, but still suck on rocks..haha!
It takes less than 5 minutes to cut each tire.....

HotRodJosh

Leaf springs work pretty well...not as mush articulation as links of course....but much more predictable.

I keep coming back to this post on your custom crawlers - where would a nOOb start with this - best/easiest platform, bodies, etc..... I have been in and out of RC stuff but all go-fast stuff.

Nice work, love the FJ.

Thanks,
Dave
