Thanks in advance!
Seems like overkill. The regular 10A model is more than enough and fits nice mounted to the inside wall of the esc tray or center chassis. How much do they want for the Pro? you might be able to get the regular one shipped overnight cheaper since it's so small.

I'm sure you could find somewhere to mount it, I've seen guys mount the MMP on top of the rear tranny

On the street yes, on the dirt it depends. If you watch one of those huge tractor pull competitions, you notice that they tires spin really fast and shoot out roost. They actually use the action->reaction effect of the dirt pushing out the back to move the tractor forward instead of actually rolling across the ground.

Same thing with a center diff on roostable dirt (I'm sure there is a better way to say that) when the wheel spins you do get some forward momentum due to the dirt being pushed out from the rear.

the center dif accelerates faster than without, you only spin two wheels instead of four.

Thanks for taking the time give me some initial feedback, looks like Blitz tyres and 10K rear diff for a start then!, my camber link settings are;

Front Camber Link, Outside, 2mm washers
Rear Camber Link, Inside, 1mm washers, Rear hub B

Are you using the Blitz 4.5mm offset wheels as well, which compound D or S?


Thanks again

I can also recommend the HPI BLITZ stock tires on asphalt I am getting 100 runs on mine and my truck is one of the fastest there. You also don't mention your camber link locations, these are important as a long flat camber link will give you more traction.

With the Suburbs 2.0 will the Proline ProTrac Suspension Kit Renegade 2.2"/3.0" Black Wheels work? Just trying to make sure before I buy new tires. Thanks in advance!
