Proline did something similar in the 90`s . They had the original idea and came out with the rims and tires . It helped a bit on outdoor tracks that were loose and truck ribs didn`t work . Back then many tracks wouldn`t allow you to run them , not sure what they would say today . I`d check before buying the kit .

With the right setup and tires/foams you don`t need it . I`d check with your track before making the decision though .

Well , I can`t tell you that . Setup depends on track conditions , driving style . and the truck/car you are driving . Best bet is to start out with stock setup , go to the track you race at and ask some of the regulars that are fast . They will be more then happy to lead you in the right direction . Nobody can tell you a correct setup without being at the track and seeing what is happening .

They say it's just a truck with a buggy look, so, if you're a buggy fan, then buy it
