I know a guy who heated/released the glue on the stock tires. then added some weight and never had any issues. Now he couldnt beat the best trucks out there,but his truck performed well and he had fun driving it,and all it cost him was some bb's |

as recall you have a stock mrc right? I suggest you not drop alot of coin on wheels and such,cuz your gonna be needing to spend some money on electronics soon enough. Servo 1st probably and a good one is a ax10/rtc takeoff or a ht 645 as these dont pull enough juice that you need a bec,yet still provide enough torque to get it done You will also probably find yourself wanting better drag brake soon enough. and that means a better esc,though I do know a way to get better hold with your stock esc,but its hard on your stock motor. and then you'll figure out your chassis is VERY limited. But the stock tires are pretty grippy,they are low,but they get good grip IMO Trust me though,your tires and wheels are not whats holding back your trucks abilities at this time. You got em,wear them out,then but some rovers |
