    its about the length of a coke can, and should be a very capable descktop crawler

     

    The body is from Aoshima Hobbies, they have a Terrano model but you'll have to get it off ebay or from Japan.

    Pics of my new tires

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    To elaborate futher on what SC 88 about reversing Baja claws:

     

    It really depends on the terrain, In mud the tires will perform better in the stock direction because they can clean themselves more easily and on rocks the advantage of reversing the tires is that the tread pattern can grab jagged edges better, but they also tend to hop more. Never drive on the road with the tires reversed, I think they are only DOT legal in the stock direction and if it rains the tires will hydroplane very easily in the reversed direction.

     

     

    I hope that came out right, It's early! :laugh:

    SAS and gears

    in 90-95 WD21 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Boker, I am in that exact same situation. College=No spare cash, This summer I am going to try and revamp alot of the steering components with L&P parts. Like Mookie said grab the steering upgrades and have fun. Wait to do a SAS until you have a good amount of excess cash and time. Why not grab a little gas miser for a daily driver and save the gas savings toward new pathy parts? That's what I'd like to do.

    Calmini SAS avaliable!

    Haha, thats so weird I checked Calmini not even 4 days ago and it had no update for the SAS. I agree with Filthy, I remember how long it took for the X kit to come out from when the rumors started floating around. Well at least it means we are slowly but surely getting there.

    Driving Lights

    I have a pair of Hella 500 driving lights, personally I think they are excellent. They do not have the range of my Kc daylights, but that is because the daylighters are 100watt spots. They have excellent spread and a distance of about 1000ft, relatively. The Hellas run for about $65.00 and are about 5 inches in diameter. These lights are not rectangular though, but they will probably give your car a cool rally look B) . I would post some pics, but cardomain seems to be down.

    This is a site with info and pics, but I would not buy them from here:

    OR

     

    If you didn't have a budget, Warn has a series of lights that can be driving or offroad spots with a flick of a switch. I think those are pretty cool, but I have never like the look of their lights. They are kinda futuristic and transformer-like. I really like the idea though!

    Couple things about my Pathy

    When it came time for changing my shocks, I was forced to get Monroe Sensa-tracs. These are a great on road shock, they are comfortable but do not allow as much body roll. They do not flex as well as I would like, but then again the are more for the road oriented trucks. I beleive they are also relativley inexpensive if I remember correctly. Good luck with your choice.

    Pickup Hood \ Grille Swap

    in General Forums

    Posted

    I have been thinking about this very same mod, I would imagine that the swap would be easy. When looking at the junkyard for a grill, you could take some pictures of the mounts and compare them to the pathy mounts. Also if you get a chance try to grab some of those little plastic screw things. I have managed to chew them up with a screwdriver, when i had to remove my grill at one time.

    I'm gonna buy one!

    Well I went to wally world and got one. It is about the coolest rc I have ever owned, but then again I have only had radio hack products. Its a blast! I'm in my dorm so its kinda hard to make some obstacles, but I did managa to climbup a small mountain of pillows that I made. I may go find a few rocks and devote a corner of my room as a small rockcrawl course. P... The suspension works great. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow...maybe even a video. It's gonna be great for dorm fun, I'll see if I can give her a real test tomorrow. :aok:

     

    BTW I got the Jeep, and it definately needs a new paint job.

    I'm gonna buy one!

    These things are pretty sweet. They are about $40 Walmart so they aren't gonna break the bank. They also look pretty darn capable for their size and price. Here's a video:

    and yes those are Mickey Thompson Baja Krawlers STANDARD!

     

    Axles are locked already and they run a AAcell Battery pack. They are basically designed like a Mini-Clod(Motor on Axle x2) the only drawback is the Non-Proportional Gas and Steering.

    :cool2:
