Tried out my set of mad Max street sweepers on my MCD w5 yesterday down a industrial estate, Sunday arvo, was impressed with the grip level, couldn't do donuts on concrete of asphalt, got some good drifts on the concrete, even left little blackies on the concrete, any one after a set on on road tyres for your car's give these a go,

I have a set for for a 5ive t, they grip good but I found them to be heavy. I opt for the mad max super grips on baja 5b rears.

I did notice in one of your other threads that you on road race one of your Losi off road car's, do you use the mad Max tyre's mentioned above, don't think I've seen the mad Max super grips, are they available at dave discount motor
I think I just answered my own question, from memory, witch isn't the best, they look like the tyre's that you had on your rig, what inserts do you use

Yeah I did have a look on ddm, I found them, thanks for the link by the way, do they fit all front & back of your Losi
I thought the w5 handle pretty good on the road, 30.5 full mod reed is the motor in my w5, goes bloody hard
Thanks rep
I went for a rooster tail engine, seeing I'm in Australia, support the locals I say, he builds a good engine, I have no complaints, good customer service to, hard to find that these day

The only thing I had to get for them to fit was 1" wheel extensions for the front so it would clear the end links for the steering. I'd love to build a reed 30.5 but I'll get there eventually

I took off the MCD wheel extenders & put Taylor one's on there, they are a little longer than the MCD one's
With the MCD one's I couldn't get my silver back rim's on, or the race pace rim's, but with the Taylor extenders everything fits
Got to love Mike Taylor's stuff
He also has excellent customer service, in my opinion,
Thanks again rep
You guy's over in America, should be able to get a good deal, from rooster tail, being in Australia, exchange rate is $ 1.61 American, to $1 Australia, don't know what shipping would be through
Something for you to look into & think about
Thanks again rep

have you seen the 190mm zero growth foam slicks, they should have unreal grip, be good for your road race rig
just don't know how long they would last
be worth while giving them a go, in my opinion

I just realised I have the exchange rate the wrong way around, $1 American is worth a $1.61 Australia
There is a seller here in the US who is actually the the guy that worked with Madmax to develop these tires. His name is Jason and he is a great guy. He mainly does speed runs with them, would be interesting to see how they would last/grip on a track. He has a 5ive-b stretched onto a truck chassis that is doing 130+mph.

I picked up a set of the belted Street Sweepers and zero grow foams. Going to try them on a LT 45 I am switching to electric. See if they hold up to 12s. Waiting on some other parts to finish it.
