if your gonna drag race a tmaxx make it 2wd and use the roadrage tires in the back and maybe a set of 1/8 buggy roadrages tires in the front and to counter act wheelies use wheelie bar and lowest setting for shocks in the back ive seen it done and it seems to work pretty good that way

[img][/img]for all you "TRUCK FREAKS" here is the set up . Road rage tires will not get the traction if your set on kill . I started w/ an S-Maxx - 2 wheel drive . You must use monster truck tires to keep it real . Last year I ran the Traxxas response tires all the way around (very light ,and grab ) The back tires were blowing out . Now it's all redone , Worn 40 series bow ties on a new set of rims and foams , Response on the front . To keep the monster truck stance shoten the rear end .

Seems to be the subject of the day - Slicks for Monster Trucks!
If anyone's interested in wheel / tire combo's for speed running, send me a PM.
