Leopard 1340KV 8S Rampage XB-E with Hostile slicks!

[fist302]

Hi All


This is a little teaser for my XB-E with the Hostile soft slicks. Pros are Excellent traction, and smooth ride. Cons are...tires expanded and stretched at speed unlike what stated in different websites!

All in all its a good deal and am happy with it. There will be a drag race tournament over here and am preparing for it.

Wow, what compound are the tires?

What foams are you running?

Holy Cow!! They look like they are hooking up good considering all the ballooning.

Hostile has zero growth foams. Might be worth a try.....

am not sure if I have to glue them or not?

I will get those for sure..but not right now as am using the car mainly for drag racing.

Yes, those are the ones. It is not necessary to glue them. It might help though......
