So whats the point of the damn Speed-T in the first place? Why don't you just buy a XXX-T and shove a brushless system in it?
The whole point of the Speed-T is Speed. The clue is in the name. The moment you put offroad treads, swap out the diff, lift the suspension, essentially destroy the straightline handling... what is the point?
The point is you can have something that does 60+ mph on road, then do a few minor tweeks and be a racer. People get the speed t over the XXX because its cheaper and rtr. The XXX kit is cheaper but you need to add other stuff to get it running which makes it more $$.
You arent swaping out the diff, you are adding diff balls. The ball diff will help your handling on and off road and is cheap to do. So tweaking the suspension, changing tires, etc destroys what the Speet T was meant for? Just put the on road tires back on and its back.
You are just biased against it so will say whatever you want to sort of fit your point. Much like your esavage is better than the emaxx arguments its all clouded in opinion with nothing factual to back it up.
The facts are the Speed t is better on road, is based off a better racing designed chassis and suspension, has a better radio, has a better brushless system, and with a change of tires is fully off road capable.
