Ben06 · 10-24-2007, 05:24 PM

It looks like there are a lot of supers

josh97 · 10-24-2007, 05:46 PM

if my mf1 sells this week ill be there with my ax10! woo hoo this will be a little differnt than the rock crawling im used to!

Etype R · 10-24-2007, 05:50 PM

Ben, its a mix of 2.2's and supers. Most everyone who has a super, also has a 2.2. There are almost always more 2.2's then there are supers.

Josh, the stock axials do very well, I would recomend getting different tires though. The kit tires are not sticky enough.

josh97 · 10-24-2007, 05:52 PM

yep ben06 is my brother he said the same thing about his

josh97 · 10-24-2007, 05:57 PM

hey Etyper have u ever tried to flame the tires ? we do it in racing u put the tire on the rim and spin it on a screwdriver spary it with motor spray and light it it will burn off the factory coating and soften up the tire for better traction.
