do you think there are any huge dragster slicks out there that i could convert to fit my jato, sized probably a bit bigger than MoaBs

Nick2618

there is a drag racing forum prolly get your answers there.

you could always shave the tread off the moabs

losixxx-nt

or do alot of burnout and donuts

annie_himself

That would be pointless.

jatoracing33

not realy...the do it to race cars at my local track, so why not try it on a rc car?

annie_himself

I would just buy Holeshots or something if you want traction on the street. But they aren't the size you want.

To me, its pointless, I would buy a dragster or use foams.

jatoracing33

er...yea...foams would be best...kinda forgot bout them

i have an mt2 and wouldn't it be better to be front wheel drive than having to worry about a wheely bar slowing u down? sry its off topic...

The_Shark

ive tried driving front wheel drive, its hard to controll due to torq steer and grip is lost causing you to loose time and that when you floor a front wheel drive car, squat is alot less meaning that weight shift that helps give more traction is also gone reducing grip and speed.

grbxtony

hmm okay yea that makes sense[&:]

Panther makes some slicks for the 2.2 wheel I think[&o]

annie_himself

Yea, but are made for clay, not the best compound but they are slicks.

IvGunZ

What track is this? Thats retarded.

Just buy a set of slicks, every car in E-town thats FWD runs them, and so do I on my 300fwhp Eclipse GST.

Hardly, for RC anyway. Its called clay. When this track held large races, the tire of choice for MT, Truggy or Buggy were Panther Switches. We all ground the tread off with the tire grinder and ran them as slicks. The Mega Maxx tires (the slicks referred to above) Mega suck for racing. Too much sidewall. I guess for drag racing, they might be OK. And I am pretty sure you don't have to get them in the clay compound. You should be able to get med softs. Anyway back to the track, its all clay and any tread would make it difficult to kick the rear end around in a turn there is so much traction:




If Panther made a truggy slick, then it would be retarded to de-tread a tire. But since they don't, it isn't.

EDIT: I take it back, mega maxx's are only available in soft, but not clay or med soft compounds.
