Hello i searched and couldnt find what i was looking for and was wondering if anyone has a specific offroad setup? I mean what tires, rims, shocks, what holes to put the shocks in? i have 1:10th stuff but im not sure what to do with these mini-t's. i no they are great for off-roading stock but i want the best setup for handling rough terrain. im not going to be rock crawling or anything, im just going to drive on my dirt track with obstacles and some what banked turns. Any help would be appreciated!

well, if you have a 1/10 truck or buggy go that way, and just go nuts realy...
evereything stock in a min-t realy s**ks if you ask me, but mines preety much done, so im happy lol with it.
first what you will need is maybe a few extra streering servos, there cheap and run at 14 dollers a peice, these may blow after awhile...
i got the oil shocks with trinity 20P oil in them, with the soft soft springs int he fron and stiff stiff for the back,
for a motor..ill tell you know, its going to fry, i went with the trinity monster motor wich ran at 32 dollers,
i got the bearins wich i change frequently, since the dirt,
for alloy peices i got the mini-t set up with as much alloy its coming out with since i do jump and rock crawl, try to get alot of alloy peices near the motor since maybe some possible damage on offroad, i also have the team losi 7.2 battery pack, and the monster tires on it, yellow rims,
all of this above is ALOT of money,,:) ,, but its nice, it runs about 19.5mph on my offroad strait away, wich broke record at my track, and at the carpet track next door, i put the foams on and and changed the bearings, it actualy ran 27.2 mph which also broke the record, for a 1/18 at my track, im starting to go beyons with it as in even testing wing angles,,
i kinda went the same way as speeed does, lol, is a fast car,
