XC unbelievable!! and also a very trick shock mod

[shenlonco]

[^]Took my XC up a real mountain through the trails i went about 10 miles maybe more!! i used 2 , 3000 batts 1, 1700 2,15oo 1,1800 and made it out on one of the 3000 batts with like 1/2 power left in it!!

And my mountain is very rocky like 70% rock crawling i had doubs about it even surviving not alone making it up to the top and down the other side and back up to the top and down again!

But it did i don't believe it!!

It was fun as badword!! untile i was about a mile in the woods luckally on a smoother part of the trails and i got caught in a thunderstorm and heavy downpoor!!

Tree branches where falling around me and i was soaking wet i had to drive in it at about a slow jogging speed but the XC came threw and we made it out of the woods!!THESE THINGS ROCK!!

[]My legs are very soar but it was well worth it!!

I made a skid plate for my new pajero i also modified the suspension with all the stock compoinents to give it just a tad more ground clearance bu unthreading the fack shock ends a few turns and also grinding the front c carriers to let the front a arms drob a little more.

[8D]I also got a SWEET mod for those fake pajero shocks that works like a charm!Take a clear bick pen and cut it the same lenth as the shock body by putting it down in it and marking it ...Now after it's cut to size the side that will be in the bottom of the shock body slightly bevel the inside edge of the hole of it. Next roll some tape around it so it fits nice tight into the shock body.

Next put your shock back together and add like 4 drops of silicone 25WT oil down into the shock.

This will now stop your shocks from binding like how they do in stock form []

awesome man, i took my hummer trailing a few weeks ago through the woods for atleast 2 miles there and then 2 iles back, it was alot of mud and hills climbs and my hummer did real nice, my touareg is coming and i plan on doing a 4 link and me and my friends are gonna do an endurance race with 7 3000 mah packs each with the stock motor, well probably be going for 10-15 miles before something break or and esc fries, its gonna be awesome

Lovely [8D], like the 2 Alp climbs with a Hilux in 83/84 (84 one http://tamiyaclub.com/article.asp?id=69 ) and the lake Bodensee round (280km!) in 85 with a Subaru Brat, sponsored from the good old German Tamiya importer (the one before Dickie).

Cheers

Shenlonco, which XC do you have? That sounds like an awesome time! Ive thought about doing the same, but I only have 2 1900 packs and 1 1500, so I doubt I would get very far.
