Yeah, never noticed that they were bidirectional... just making sure, when you are looking down, with the truck facing forward, the Y should be 'pointing' forward right?

I wouldn't like the idea of running two different tires, yah, the idea is there, but if your truck is setup properly (weight distribution, CoG, etc) you are going to want same tires all around. IMO.

I have had the Crimefighter LPR's for a year now without wheels for them, I finally went and got some... I'm sure they will do great for the big race I have coming up in two weeks (5 Qualifiers, and a 30 min MAIN), I didn't like the way the Bow-Ties felt on the track, felt skittish at times, and just didn't have the track in the straight to put down the power I would like.

I got a bunch of parts (I was contemplating getting the E-Revo chassis to convert the 3.3, but it turned out to be too much right now... and besides, it would take to long, IMO, to swap batteries out during the MAIN), here are the parts that should improve track performance:

-RPM Rear Revo True Track A-Arm Conversion Black
-Traxxas Rocker Arm Set Progressive-3 Revo - Progressive 3
-Pro-Line 3.7 LPR 1/2 Offset Wheel White 17mm Hex
-New Teflon GTR shocks
-Set of E-Revo diffs
-and some of the new 13mm traxxas axle carriers for the front

These upgrades should provide the winning formula for me... I got 4th place at the last big race weekend, I was in 2nd place HOT on 1st place exhaust (he was an LST, btw), but I have two random shutdowns during the race that took over a minute to resolve... I am pretty sure now it was the BEC, so I took it out and am now using a 2s A123 pack, but I should get something lighter.

Hoping for the best!
