I recall there's rules against gluing the tread. I said I'd get pictures of how my tires are glued... I haven't yet.


Has anyone noticed an advantage with the Fat Fox body. I absolutely love the look. And it seems like it would be faster. ie. More aerodynamic and lower.
but does the handling change at all? The current truck body handles incredible. But I feel the new body would be a bit faster down the straightaway.

I need to spend a day testing it.
It's supposed to be a couple to a few tenths faster. I haven't seen that yet. But there's a lot of complicating factors there. In my case, the truck picked up the bounces, and the car got real tail happy, and tippy. But that might have been traction coming up at the local track.
