Suspension and Tires

[CopeCowboy1]

I know this is probaly an often asked question but which suspension is the best for tighter turning (how many holes?) Also which tires are the best for turning. And last but not least What motor and gears should i use for the highest speed... i don't have a NOS motor but i have the turbo motor. All help is greatly appreciated!!!

The Speed question is easy, the lower the ratio on the gears the higher to top end speed but lower acceleration meaning is going to take a bit longer to get up to speed. so the red gears
and your red motor should give you the highest speed.

There's a nice Speed calculator you might wanna try at zipzaps.com you can compare the different motors and gears setups.

As for the suspension I haven't seen a difference between those bars...maybe someone else can answer that!

I put in the three hole suspension bars. Why? Becuase they came in the upgrade kit, I figure stock is no holes, so best must be three holes. So far, I've found absolutely no difference. But, they ar esuch a pain to change, I never bothered with other hole varieties. So, I like to think of them as "speed holes." Yet, I know they aren't. Oh, maybe they're lighter... like that's actually going to make any difference.

Your tires depend upon the surface you drive on. Experiment is all you can do.

I like red motor/gears personally, my NOS motor needs about a 20' head start before it gets as fast as my red motor gets off the line.
