Hey rc dad how dose ur rig run with paddles all the way around? I'm thinking of doing the same to mine.

It's fun. Incredible traction in grass, sand or loose dirt. Don't use them in the pretty grass though, it really tears it up. I need to make myself a full chassis screen. The front paddles completely fill the chassis with crud.

Yes it really is when I put the 2 speed back on it they are really in trouble.

It looks like you were already run'n them down in the straights. They will have to get outa the way for sure.

Ya I'm moving back to oklahoma soon and it's mostly loose dirt and sand so I'll be putting paddles on it, is it hard on your drive train?

JOHN BLAZE. What causes the roll cage to break? Just rough landings or exhaust pipe melting it?

Yes. When ever you have really good traction the drivetrain takes the beating. You also have to slow down while cornering. With the extra traction the vehicle will roll over easier.

New Parts

Got the new parts from Daves Discount Motors. 8k clutch and jet pro pipe for the Chimera and what can I say this thing is an awesome piece of metal work well worth the cost.

@ hotrod9193 the rear section of the roll cage keeps breaking on rollovers and ass first landings on jumps not due to melting from the pipe

I have just been repairing it with some super thin tire glue and gorilla tape and it's been holding up good better than buying those parts over and over I'll be replacing that section with aluminum tube very soon
