![]() Have you had a chance to drive it yet? Feeling a pair of the ProPulse tires I have laying out around here they may not be a bad alternative when it comes to crawling tires. Certainly gives you plenty of ground clearance as well as a somewhat sticky material. Good idea!
![]() Can't wait to see the body. Any teaser shots? Cheers, Kyle.
