The idea behind the truck was to keep it light for 12 cells. I just took out weight every where I could. It has stock chassis(soon G-maxx),stock drive train,G3 suspension,Ti hinge pins and turn buckles,Aluminium pivot balls,no bumpers,no two speed servo,cut skid plates,cut motor plate. That is about it.
The tires used for the speed runs were TRC park tires. The stock tires are very heavy. For speed runs "street" tires will be faster. Any tread tire like stock,mashers,trail dawgs,meat hooks, etc are about 1 plus mph slower than street tires. Pin type tires like the bowtie and paqman seem better but are still slower than street tires.

Thank you,
Promod
