Hello guys I'm new to the site and in need of help. I currently have a couple 4 gear chassis I'm working on and I would like to add braids on the pick ups but I can't seem to find any. Lucky Bobs doesn't carry them so i'm in dire straits! Lol any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA

Thanks for the info guys! It will definitely be used I will be at lucky Bob's next week! I do have another question, do you think wheelie bars are necessary with my setup? Its a 4 gear chassis w\ mean green arm, i changed brushes, put in poly mags, i'm doing braids & shunts and using jel claws slicks. Any input is appreciated. |

Any input is appreciated.[/quote] When the rules allow it wheelie bars always look cool.  With that setup I wouldn't use wheelie bars unless the class was running on 24 volts or more,but that's just my opinion.(Remember your power to weight ratio)

I agree with Phantom...wheelie bars definitely look cool, but they do add weight...as he also mentioned power to weight ratio. I personally have never needed to use wheelie bars. Even on my unlimited 4g builds. Only traction magnets. FYI.......  Good luck at your race chevyboy! Thank you nosub and SKR for the links. I am starting to run low on my braid ( was given to me ) and did not have a source to reorder. |
