White pads~ less consistent, glaze faster, simply not as good as the gold ones.

gold pads would be worth the few bucks they cost, IMO.

Thanks, I had no clue. I think I might actually have a set of gold ones in the box of parts that came with this car.

Its kinda hard for me to believe these holes help with consistency/heat on a 1/10 electric vehicle. Do I think its slightly less rotating mass, yes. I'm just a little skeptical on this one I guess...

It actually makes quite a bit of a difference. The holes help make the whole slipper like a fan and helps keep the slipper cooler if that's a good example. You should never really have slipper heating problems unless you are in high heat. It especially helps in 4 wheel.

My car handles better over all, more consistant. Biggest thing I noticed is it's more stable over jumps. If you could only do one upgrade, I would do the +8mm chassis. This would be number 2.

Just got my TLR bigbore springs on my car. Can not wait to try it. With all the talk on this thread it seems like it will only make the car faster. Starting with silver fronts and yellow rears like reccomended.
