Vendetta-MB4 setup tips

Hey guys. Just wanted to give a shoutout to Sean for helping me out at Sids today and giving me some good tips. I was running HPI Mini wheels with the rears dremeled slighly to enlarge the opening and give clearance for the Vendetta hubs. I mounted Proline Bowties on these wheels and the Buggy seemed to hook up pretty good. Lookin' forward to the race on the 29th. See ya there!

I second the motion

I can tell you all that if you don't get these tires, then you can't complain when there are others with these wheels that are good.

The mini inferno wheels are great when the track is wetter, however on the dry, I don't think there will be a better setup than what John said

ciao

Sean

I run the Proline Bowties on my 18T. They are fantastic at SID's when the track is clean and just sligtly damp.
Last weekend the track was super dry since we did not spray it, and got a little loose in spots when the ground broke up a little creating some light dust on top of the hard pack. Those couple of spots were a little sketchy at times.
Cheers

Possibly if the axle shafts are the same size as the Mini-T rear axles.
It might look a little strange since a mini LST has a larger chassis than the other 1/18 scale vehicles.

It might look like if you put 1/10 scale buggy wheels on a Savage.
