Steady on, your cars are fast enough already

Got a brand new X-Traction out of the pack this morning and it's a quick one straight away, no idea why and I'm not going to take it apart to find out, the one I had that was quick is now slow so I'll be rebuilding that one.

I think you are on the right track there, the AW top plate when installed in the MT chassis was a tight as hell

Thats the only way i'm afraid, plus talk and listen to those that have done it (and got it right)

QUOTE (pasiro @ 16 Jan 2012, 01:31) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I've just tried measuring the tyres but it isn't easy as the fronts are somewhere between the front wheel sizes and rear wheel sizes on the tyre gauge, and the rears are too big for any of the holes

I pretty good guestimate would be around .390 Front and about .480 rear

Mine are 385 front and 454 - 460 rear depends on the chassis
