get alum bulks and chassis braces.... other then that... dont get alum skids, rpm, its plastic but has a life time warenty, "IF" you can break them they will replace them, i havent heard of anyone breaking one... the body is all up to u, and the wheels, well those are really up to u too and alum shocks are also good things to have...

Don't waste your money on "shelf queen" wheels. 99.9% of ALL INFORMED racers use plastic wheels due to light weight, and the ability to return to shape after a hard hit. And if the hit is hard enough to break plastic, it would have bent aluminum.
Check out some mags like RC Driver....it's doubtful you'll ever see ANY aluminum wheels in any RACE COVERAGE....you will see them on the readers pics....but not in serious competition or bashing...

aznherb36

totally agree.

proline velocity and bowties are famous. my truck stands out very well with the yellow proline velocity's/bowties.

I got my alum. parts from the best, Unlimited engineering, great assembly, and few other ones. and those alum shocks with ***. shafts, running 4 of them with 70wt, they are flawless.

HI STEVE WELL ANY ALUMINUM PARTS I HAVE SEEN STILL LOOK RUFF AS IF THE COMPANY SAID OK THAT GOOD SHIP IT OUT I TWEEK MY PARTS CHECK THEM OUT PHOTOS DONT DO THE PARTS JUSTICE http://www.myspace.com/111756219 << ALL PARTS AL SMOOOOOOTHED OUT LIKE BUTTER ONLY SWEETER

Ok, WEIGHT IS NOT EVERYTHING! And he isn't eaven racing. Do you think my revo is a shelf queen? i drive nearly every week all year wether its snowing or 100 out. Don't judge a book by its cover. thease are much stronger then stock wheeles, they add tons of stability, they do not noticabley have any side affects. They look great and are much better then plastic rims because if you want to change the tires, just put hte rims and tires in boiling water for 5 minets, and pull the tires off. some times you can eaven reuse the tires. Not to mention the have a lifetime garentie. Don't buy plastic, look at hte diference.

Lose the Caps man, that's the same as screaming, very rude. And try using a little punctuation, if you please, there are enough children in here that already ramble on through a post, and it usually takes another child to decipher the meaning...

Other than that, welcome aboard.

aznherb36

there goes scracing babbling on with his obsessed wheels once again.
the only thing I got from your post was

"they add tons of stability, they do not noticabley have any side affects."

the boiling technique is nothing special for alum rims. You can even bake them to get the wheels off.

They are stronger than stock, we can all see that.

ScRacing

Ok, coo

Anyways, other then those a good tuned pipe is your friend. They all work, i like tsais twin exhuast, adds some power. Vantage, trinity and THS also make great pipes for the 2.5 and 3.3. If you go any bigger then 3.3 you should get a jammin tuned pipe, jp-1 for bottem end, jp-2 for top end, and jp-3 for the best of both wrolds.

Hi this is Rick from SPI Racing Wheels.
My wheels are NOT shelf queen. They are meant for racing. Heavy? I here to break the myths about my aluminum wheels.
25 grams more than plastic.
On a 65-70 second per lap track, same truck, same tires, same driver, we cut 6 second off the lap time. The cry babies tried to get the wheels out-lawed.
If you beleive in your product, you should stand behind it. Live time warranty, just like a Craftsman screwdriver.
I will send you a set of wheels, If they dont lower your lap times, send them back, If they do, You buy them.
Sound like a deal?
Thanks for your time.
Rick

Hay Rick, hows the wrist? By the way, i will never buy another set of rims, thease are so nice...

I can't log onto spi for some reason so can you post some of my pics?

Thanks for the deal Rick!

bennyblanco

no of the above!!! stick with plastic!!

ScRacing

Savage, take rick up on his deal, i did

aznherb36

looks like your right side is stuck out more.

did you go extreme bashing on them????

spiracing

Just wondering, why no to the deal? Free wheels to test. What if your truck does corner faster, is that bad? Racing is about new develoment, trying different things to go faster.

whatever floats your ferry boat.

why you make a new acct?

spiracing

What does "float your ferry boat" mean?

The new account, My wheels are being slandered with out knowing the truth.
There are a lot of Alum wheels out there. Most of what people say is ture about them.
We are differant, I make a very high quality wheel, that WILL lower your lap times. Heck Im even offering free testing to prove it.
Rick

how do they lower lap times?

beelzebubishere

My Feedback: (1)

Heavier....that will require MORE H/P tool spool up, and more brake energy applied sooner to slow down.....both of which do not add up to quicker lap times. Not to mention the increased number of pit stops required in an hour long race, due to the increased fuel consumption....

When I see them on some of the WINNING trucks at the "FARM," I'll consider some. Until then, plastic wheels by companies like Pro-Line are tried and proven.

aznherb36

thought spiracing was scracing's new acct.


Have you guys gone extreme bashing on the tires to see what their made of???
