auto-x video

latest auto-x video from last auto-x i went to.
My front tires don't grip at all, so i tried increasing the pressure on rears to have better grip on the fronts. Still not much grip but at least was somewhat easier to turn

Re: auto-x video

Re: auto-x video

i didn't even notice you there lol. The back wheels 18x9.5 and fronts 17x8.5. I was running 14" wheels before and actually i think 14" wheels helped me because i still have stock 2.73 gears. The front tires on this wheels were just too far gone and had no grip at all. The very first run i completely missed the turn around double gate so i just went drifting to the next gate . Didn't get a video of that tho because i just drove in from working the gate. I'll be tearing my bird down for few things that i'm planing to swap in about a week. Can't wait to get my new setup together and go to auto-x again.
took a picture while waiting at the gate
