what do you think as far as performance and turrning (using 333 oz servo)

Procharged5.0 · 12.12.2006, 07:12 PM

333 oz-in Should turn with authority! You will need a beefy servo saver like the UE Gen-IV.

Yea, the UE servo saver should work....I think 40 series are nice, but it depends on your track. The 40 series will slide in the turns some, so on a high bite track, they will work good. I would personally go with Crime Fighter MTR's and some yellow Proline 23mm 0 offset rims...

i know this is not cool but anyway i will be racing this on a street track made in the parking lot by my hobby town. (would rather race off road i a million years but there are no off road tracks around me). so for this track what are your recommendations for this type of racing. also will the proline steering Assembly work just as good as UE one

squeeforever · 12.12.2006, 08:14 PM

It will work, just not as good...

GorillaMaxx360 · 12.12.2006, 08:22 PM

is the only difference stregnth

Procharged5.0 · 12.12.2006, 08:27 PM

Strength & consistency. Plus the UE is serviceable.

there is a difference... they will handle diffrently... personally i'm not a big fan of 40 series tires/wheels for racing, they are harder on your truck because of the low profile nature of the tires and their increased weight... in certian conditions one will offer more traction than the other... there is also a very limited choice in tires in the 40 series size

I beg to differ...There is a descent amount. Proline may only make 2 different ones designed for racing, but those 2 are by far the most popular tires there is...

Different tires & rims for different track conditions. I have 5 sets for my maxx and 12-14 pair for my stadium truck. variuos tread patterns, compounds, diameters, etc.

GorillaMaxx360 · 12.12.2006, 09:46 PM

I have got it i will go with 17mm standard size dish and crime fighter tires. This way i dont have the weight of the 40 series, i also have a better turning ability(also use UE instead of proline steeing assymbly), also the 17mm is my personal prefrence and i am getting it for christmas an i cant change that so i miseweel us it, also the crime fighters will do good on the street (it think) and do good bashing on not much more material than grass and dirt. also they have the regular offset which keeps the tires in close. The only downside is the super prettness of the wabash but i will get over that. What do you guys think does that sound like a solution for me situation at least.

Do you guys know how long it will be before the slipperiential is available on line or do i have to order it from mike and if so how is this done

sjcrss · 12.16.2006, 03:55 PM

The slipperential is suppose to be available anyday now....he is just waiting on the new shafts to be done and to come in...so keep checking back on the product page...because it should be any day now....

GM360... What hobbytown are you going to race at? Im in chicago also. Just curious. I have set my gmax up for road racing in the past and might be interested in that.

Anyone know about the timing on the 2nd revision of the slipperential that works with the revo G2R chassis? Thats the one Im waiting for.

GorillaMaxx360 · 12.17.2006, 11:07 AM
