taped HPI phatlines.

as for gearing, you might want to consider talking to mike- he might send you an rc-monster banner and some pinions :)




As for Shark.. your best bet is to find an 8th scale buggy... relatively durable (nothing is durable at over 50) and just work your way up from there

get a baseline setup for 60-70ish then work from there.


and make sure your tires are balanced or they will rattle the car to shreds.

Taped phaltlines are only good to about 75mph after that you need to glue 40# test carbon fiber thread fishing line on the out side of the tire. Custom foam tire on new pro-line vtr wheels is what I need. I sent mike a email telling him what I am planning I dont want any handouts but It would be nice if I could get a custom center diff out of him. If I break a record with his parts it could be good for business. A nice banner on my fifth wheel at the event. Magazine are going to cover it also. But if he is to busy to even answer my email maybe he doesnt need the extra business.
