If anyone ever has a problem or finds a mistake on the website, please send an e-mail to [email protected]. The website has only been online for 8 months now and new items and features are being added every month, so mistakes in weight or prices are bond to happen.
Marcus, what did you order? UPS calculates the shipping costs automatically based on weight of the package, VP-Pro does not have any control over shipping costs. And USPS and UPS both raised their shipping costs and fuel surecharges this month for 2010. If it was a small order you can select Priority mail for only $7.99. And if it is a light order, you can select 1st class snail mail for only $2.99. Please let me know or check the site again and I will see what I can do to help if there is an error on the site.
Thanks,

Cool thanks, I found the shipping today. I am also going to try the new tires you came out with. Do you have any idea what will work at the nitro pit. I can tell you Truhe TQ last year with Bowfighters in M3 with the front outside lugs cut off and Maifield won with 7's. This year it looks like Losi eclipse green is very fast. I was looking at your tires and the new Axman looks good, I also like the Condor but Calibers in buggy just dont work but the 4.0 in Truggy rocks. What tires would you guys try and how is the ultra flex is it super soft. Thanks.
For Truggy, use Medium Flexx Turbo Trax - they work everywhere, every time.

OK, now that is some great information Gene. I received my order of tires the other day and am extremely impressed with the ultra flex compound. It feels a little softer than an m3 to me and the Axeman and Condors look to be a great design.
I have heard nothing but positive things about the Axoffs(Cutoff front/Axman Rear), will give all the combinations a try in a couple weeks

rims
thanks for the info, what does putting V3 (wide) tires on V2 (Std) rims do this is one thing I have never tried? All I can picture is a balloon look. Thanks

Yes, V3 Bow Tires fit V2 wheels also. The Proline team guys have done that at races where ROAR rules are followed and wide tires are not legal. I have been doing it with wide Turbo Trax, Cutoffs all last year. The wide Axman fits even better because it is low profile and not as wide as the wide Cutoff & Turbo Trax.

Wow I just got my rims in the mail and they are small. I put them up against my AKA and V2 rims and they are way smaller, I put them up against some 5 year old Mugen rims and they are that size, Bummer!!!

I have heard that VP-Pro is working on an all new wheel - no details yet though but it should be V2 size - maybe even wider. The new Condor and Bull Dog tires are slightly larger then the 801-805's and will fit larger wheels better. Anyone here ever have a problem using the smaller diameter VP-Pro wheels on your buggy?

Also, V3 tires will not fit VP-Pro wheels. But the wider VP-Pro tires do fit V2 wheels good.
