Lowered Centre Of Gravity and Traction

Have you looked int other chevron type tires? The Imex Trail Dawgs are a similar tread pattern, but are much softer than the Maxx tires. You could aslo try modifying the tread on the stock tires to increase traction. Start by slicing every other rib so that they are more flexible. If that doesn't work, try cutting every other rib so that look more like knobbies.

Well I like how the Maxx tyres handle, minus the traction part.

I got my G2 this morning :eek: I bought it at midnight on thursday!!!!! Un-believeable service Mike.

I'm going to leave the setup as it is but lower the ride height a little. Hopefully this combined with the G2 should stop all the wheelspin. I'm also gonna buy an 18t pinion (16t currently), as it is very very front happy, so it wont accelerate quite as fast. I also put the 7 cells into the rear 7 slots and moved my receiver and hump pack to the rear, hopefully this should all help.

Anyway, i'll let you al know how it goes once I get the maxx running again. Had a wipe-out and took out the stock chassis, a skid plate, steering rach and a set of bulkheads, good excuse to get a free G2, huh? :018:

Hotncold - I agree, at the last rampage (official race days with medals and stuff) I won the MT A Final' by 45 seconds (a lap is about 34 seconds).

Squee - Paint rocks :027: !

CCristo - I was considering cutting lines in the edges of the tyres like this:



I'm not sure if that would help alot, maybe cutting the lines further in?

If that fails, CCristo I will get me some imex trail dawgs :) .
