If you could only have two sets of tires, what would the be? Most races for me will be hard pack red clay with light dust, but can also get into wet loamy stuff when running after a lot of rain.

I was thinking of starting off with Green Hybrids and soft I-beams to cover those conditions, what do you guys think?

Have you ever timed how long you can run on that setup before hitting a safe LVC?

They run 20min mains for nitro truggies at my local track and a few guys running etruggies with them and do a battery swap half way in.

With the SMC 6500 in my eb48 I can get 15mins no prob and think I could stretch it to 20min if i go easy on the trigger and/or set a lower current limit.

Pink HB megabites are awesome. I have a ton of brand new tires and I keep buying them cuz they are that much better imho. Try em

May not be a bad idea to keep the chassis braces. That rear brace has quite a job to do!

Could someone school me a bit on how truggy wheels and tires work? Seems like the different manufactures have their own bead designs and you have to match wheel and tire brands? What offset do you use with this truck, just standard offset?

You will want to run standard offset.

Hey guys. What's a good setup on this truggy for a loose/ loamy outdoor track?

Can't seem to find setup sheets, also I got a question. On a setup sheet if it does not have a positive in front of camber are they referring to negative or positive. Thanks

Is pretty much everyone running 3 washers on the steering stops? (Per Tekno's recommendation?) Thanks!

Was on the fence between eBuggy and eTruggy but figure I'll take the chance and try to be one of the pioneers for eTruggy locally. Especially since S&B Speedway is local to me and it pretty damn big. Watching Barry Pettit wheel his MBX7T made me know which one I really wanted lol.

yea I'm working to get 10 etruggy guys together before we start a local race series here in GA. Seems there are quite a few who want to jump in but waiting for the class to build. Trying to form a pact where if enough guys say their interested, we can all go build one and start racing!
