Could you guys suggest something that is rasonably priced and in stock. Ebay amain or whatever.
Unless you mount them on yourself, the balance really can't be guaranteed. If you are just going to bash, then what's wrong with the stock wheels and tires.

If you get serious (start racing) later try these......you won't regret it and they won't break the bank as far as I'm concerned and shipping is free.

That depends on what motor,speedo, and battery your running. The average weight should be between 9-10 lbs.

Thanks treborwd22!
I asked that because I was a bit afraid in using my MMP on this car and asked castle's support about it and they replied me:
"You can use the MMPro with the 2650 motor as long as the total weight if the vehicle is less than 4 kilos (9 lbs). Over that weight you need the Monster ESC. Most road cars are very light compared to buggies or truggies so you shouldn’t have any problems with that set up."
So, I think it is on the limit by castle creations, I think I can try it anyway.
Thanks again,
Roberto

Silly question....I put the RTR gtp-2e together and I noticed that mine does not have the foam bumper. I have had the rig for quite a few months and am just putting it together, is this a mistake or did this rig not come with a foam bumper. The plastic part is there.

Call OFNA, the foam bumper is supposed to be in the box.

If you are going to use the PF-8 body you will need to move the bumper back flush with the front diff for it to fit. I just used a 1/4 drill bit and drilled two holes and now it fits like a glove.

Thanks guys for the assistance. Here is my new On-Road rig just for parking lot fun....6000mah Nano 6s teamed with 1800kv cc1512. Should be fun. I will have to do some speed runs one day with a 2650 but that gets old fast. I look forward to melting these tires.




I have a few more stickers to place once I go thru the archive. I painted it this color so I could see it...

Also I love the old school florescents, they make me happy.

Nice looking! One small comment. Either the front or rear tires are on backwards.

Rears are backwards.




I'm sorely tempted to get one of these things. How much space do you guys need to really get them up to speed?

Just switch the rear wheels around.?. Hey, 'nother question is your body mounted I didn't see any holes or posts sticking through and your tail isn't bolted down. I go away on Coast Guard Patrol on Thursday. My GTP2E and every single part for it is all brand new in the boxes ready to be built in a month when I get back. Yours looks great.
