Maxx setup is:
G2 Chassis
Stock Maxx Tyres
45Wt oil all round
Stock shock positions with a little extra spacers in 4 shocks
9XL on 14 cells

Lightning is:
Mashers on some truck-ish proline rims
stock shocks with an extra spacer each
10XL on 14 cells

The maxx just feels more solid around the track, like its hugging the ground better.

If the lightning were running heavier shock oil and maybe a tooth or 2 higher on the pinion I reckon we'd be seeing a good fight.

I can slide a little better with the lightning though. But i just LOVE how the maxx handles with the G2.

Slight difference in a straight line but nothing massive.
