Wheels do look great. The blue kicks things off is a classy way. I put heavy Treal wheels on mine, but they're black. I definitely think the blue looks better. I also put Treal brake disc weights on. The tippy factor is the worst thing about this rig. Well, actually, for me, it's the leaking shocks (even when mounted upside down) and the tippy factor that are the two worst characteristics. The wheels and weights go a long way in reducing the Tippy factor. The weights do widen the wheel base a little bit, but it still looks good. I have the Fusion Pro on mine, but I think I would've been almost as happy with the 1800KV. The stock system in my Ascent Fusion is so good, just a hair less adjustable. The CJ looks really good. The stock performance, plus the leaking shocks- makes it's $500 price tag kinda high for me. I would have been WAY happier with a $400 price. I mean, if you're going to do any crawling, and trailing, so I guess pretty much no matter what you do with it, it's gonna need a new drive system, better suspension, and a bunch of low weights added. Figure an additional $450 or so to get it's performance to a place where you'll likely be much happier, and this rig is definitely on the expensive side overall. I wish I didn't like it so much, lol. Of my 9 vehicles, this one sees the most run time. What setup for your Desert Lizards do you think you'll use? It's my first time with them, and I'm curios how you'll set yours up.
Moving the wheels out helps as does going to 90mm shocks. My track is at 9 3/4" now. I can climb a 53 degree plywood ramp now without flipping over backwards. I wanted to get a Fusion Pro but the Spektrum 2300 was on sale so I decided to try one. Pretty much the same as the Fusion Pro but does not have the super slow crawl the Pro does. I went to a 12 tooth pinion instead of the stock 14 tooth as I have the shift enabled in mine for higher speed when needed.
I have a fusion pro in my TRX6 ULTIMATE HAULER and love it. I wish I could afford another one for this rig. But the fusion SE 1800kv is almost a good. Just about half the price.
Wheels are sweet on there! I'd try the stock tires on the wheels with the extensions. For the shocks, I'd try some oil tuning, at least for now, before throwing money at new ones. Wheels definitely look awesome on there!
Thanks for watching. I'm uploading a video now. With a big difference. I put some wheel weights different tires. Will extensions hobbywing fusion 1800kv a winch and two speed transmission connected.
I did this to my axial early bronco as well. Much better. For me i backed down to #8 on the drag brake.On steep descents I like it to roll a little bit more and control The decent with my brakes.
I have this but it’s the bronco I run an 11t pinion lowest it will take. I regret a little bit not picking up this CJ when I had the opportunity now there out of stock and horizon is irritating to me so I’m sure I care honestly. I have that radio and esc combo in my trx4 on a 9t and it has great control with the proper gear reduction. A CJ 7 or 5 are my absolute favorite types of jeeps all the others are nice. But I’m an 81’ baby and this is what I always saw and they have such nice lines to them and the dashboards a lot nicer then after dodge got a hold of them I remembered when the commercial landed on normal tv with the wrangler my parent’s reaction and I were like WTF just happened like in 1997 the f150 oh my you know the earth is ending 😂…eww😂 Nice rig…
That ESC combo aint too bad. It's not as good as a HobbyWing 1080, but it is 80 amps. The spectrum is only 40 amps. So it's pretty good considering. But on the downhill, control is the biggest difference. When you're already rolling, and then you give it a little throttle. And it takes off the 1080ESC, prevents that.

I think I will use a 12 tooth also. Thank

Thanks. Great advice. I am going to try to tune the shocks & put the stock tires. Soon.
Man that made a big difference! She's ready to crawl and enough speed for trail ridin too
This Axial Jeep is on the top of my wish list now
Thanks man

World of difference! Oh and those blue 1.9 injora inserts are awesome!
Thanks. I think it's going to be awesome when I tune the shocks. Or get desert lizard 90mm
Brass SSD hubs are awesome and help with front end weight :)
Awesome RC and çrawling, great test

I agree that is a good way to do it. Because if you have to touch the throttle it wants to take off. So the drag break a little softer is a good idea.
@@ezboyrc553 Exactly my experience when I tried the #9 drag brake.At times I had to give it a touch of throttle and it took off.

Better with esc tuning. I recommend Goodyear wrangler M/TR tires . Great tread pattern and seem to stand up really well over time
Thanks for the tip
Yes the hobbywing 1800 sometimes you need wheel speed
I agre.
Ice cream out of horse shit, ROFLMAO love it.
Can you please do a size comparison between the cj7 and the trx4 k10 cheyenne high trail edition. Thank you
I sure will. Thanks for watching.
