It rains 320 days a year here and experience flooding yearly. Big Drops or not.

We know what rain is.

That's "quality" for you. I've been down this road pages ago, and got burned. Spend the extra money on "real" quality controlled Cells.

The Protrak wheels are standard 2.2/3.0 wheels with a Zero offset. Proline 2.0's are still a standard tire, and fit on 'any' 2.2/3.0 rim.

I'm not sure how much they want. I'm trying to stay ahead in case I have issues with the MMP. What's the ratio of people using the Rs pro or rx8 in these? I might just get one of those to stay clear of hassles

Use your stock wheels (or the same offset as stock) and mount your own tires with the inserts that come with the tire D Compound belted.............
Make your rear camber link as long as you can and make it as parallel to the ground as possible, this will give you the most traction.

Try 25 w oil front and 20 rear with 1.1 pistons

Here is a cheap place to buy the tires......http://www.hobbies4life.com/HPI_1033.../hpi103337.htm

I have an RX8, and I know many others who do as well. I stole it out of my e-Maxx when MT racing died and SC racing took over. It's several years old and still performs like it was new (aside from replacing the $10 fan every year or so.) In my SC104x4 the temps barely get high enough to turn the fan on....by the time I get down from the driver's stand, the fan has usually turned off. I run a "power hungry" Savox 1258 and have never had any glitching or brown outs.

Yep, I run the renegades, same offset as stock from what I can tell.

I agree, never ran the RX8 but from everything I read, the only reason not to run it is cost, and fitment when running inline saddle packs, which isn't that big a deal, just need a dremel to fix.

If anyone was wanting to run the Exotek aluminum chassis, we have them on sale right now!

I live here on the west coast too and will agree with you that you know what rain is. But... East coast rain is far worse. I lived in KY and AK. I agree with the other dude heavyjeffd. Rain and storms back there are LOUD, scary, and blinding! Dont get my started on the T-storms and Tornados. Nothing compared to the west coast. Yeah yeah, they're both wet and flood. lol Man, it would rain so hard in OK that I would have to pull over off the road cuase I couldnt see where I was going. Wipers could not wipe fast enough.

92stanglx - Great combo bud. You'll love it. It's what I run. I use fantom 5200 50c's and a TP 5300 65c.

Speaki g of Exotek chassis...I just got one. As far as shock oil and springs do I need to change anything? Running yellow springs all around and 30wt front and 27.5wt rear.

Oh, don't get me wrong, I know. (I made the joke of "big drops"?) But we know our rain. I don't compare "Rain" with Aquastorms like your examples. =P

We get on with our lives 320days a year walking in the rain. (You know when someone's not from Oregon when they are driving 5 under the speed limit when it's wet or raining.)

Our Mcdonalds was flooded up to the drivethrough and people are taking boats through the drivethrough. Best memory as a kid. What a great winter that was.

Speaking of Which:

Meldrum Bar Track is washed out from flooding. =(
