That was great time Sunday.....Thanks to all the DD's that made it happen and running smooth. Big thanks to Thrash for the good watering job, it did help.
Even though I broke my truck 8min into the main, I still held on to my lead and won the race, so Im a happy camper

Dirt Dawg Race 6/18 - satoch - 07-02-2005
I'm curious about the dirt. I doubt that it's well packed so I'm trying to decide between the Responses, Pythons, or Meat Grinders for my Revo.
Also, how long is the straight? I need to decide on gearing. Any pics?
Dirt Dawg Race 6/18 - Tex - 07-02-2005
Looong strait from what I remember, I'm running a bigger 14T CB on the buggy. Seems like the pythons are hooking up better when it's slippery out, but the meat grinders will prolly work as well. I'd bring both and try the different setups during practice.
The responces seem to slide around in the loose stuff.
Mind you I don't own any of the tires mentioned, I've seem them in action tons of times and can tell from watching. I did own mulchers which are just like meat grinders and they hook nice on loose stuff.
Dirt Dawg Race 6/18 - rocco79 - 07-02-2005
Ive been runnning response and panthers both have there advantages.
Dirt Dawg Race 6/18 - Tex - 07-02-2005
you think you could list some of the advantages? Or just tease us
Dirt Dawg Race 6/18 - rocco79 - 07-02-2005
...... And give away all my lil secrects??? :crazy: :moon: :bustingup
JUST KIDDING!!!!
The responses are super light and seem too hook up real well on just about anything... They do however tend to get lower marks for hard packed surfaces with loose dirt and dust on them... Thats when they start to slip... Other than that they're awesome except for there short tread life and tendency to blow out (had 2 come apart now!)
The panthers on the other hand are wider, taller and MUCH heavier ! These treads too seem to grip all surfaces very very well but dont seem to lose traction on the stuff that the responses do.... They are a very thick carcass tire so blow outs arent a worry , and tread life seems to be awesome!
