There ya go Air. It`s flexy allright. I`m looking forward to getting my new shocks on and seeing how it works when its got some real movement control rather than the susp just dropping out from underneath it. I`m thinking I`ll tune it so it doesnt flex quite that much, I`d like to have about 1/2-3/4 of an inch less flex than that with a firmer front suspension than rear so that I can float the front tires over larger cracks and obstacles if need be.

Thanks again for the compliments.

Very good flex .. A.R.C

Your tires should lose a little of their pressure :-)

One day, someone showed me a glass of water that was half full. And he said, "Is it half full or half empty?" So I drank the water. No more problem. ~Alexander Jodorowsky.....

I couldnt wait for Summer so I went for a snow run. It didnt do too bad, better than I figured. It was -15 and we had 2 inches of new snow and my Battery only lasted 25 minutes. It held its own but overall snow sucks.

Got the new skins in yesterday morning. They`re awesome! But I cut them up anyway. They are very soft (they make the NB tires feel as if they`re made of plastic),very grippy, and smell awfull. Even thought they are narrower than the stockers they fit really well onto the rim. Seems the NB tire is only wider at the base of the tread(the sidewalls balloon out a lot) but the bead of both tires is the same width. Which means I didnt have to narrow my rims Big Grin
A common complaint with these tires is that the treads are too close together and that there is no space between the tread blocks when the tire folds over onto something which makes the tire lose any ability to grab hold of anything. I fixed that. A little strategic cutting and grinding with the Dremel and the tread is a lot more open than it was, but it still makes this great rubbing/screeching sound like a real tire when they are spinning on a surface. I dig em.




Drilled some holes in the Foams to soften them up...it helped a bunch. They tires are very soft but when the foams are in they didnt flex as much as I wanted them to. They`re much better now.
