Hop up for lightnin pro

[Smurfola212]

I dunno what brand, but help me choose.This will be going into a hotbodies lightnin pro. I can't do it on my own: Well, Its either an onroad set of tires for my buggy, a failsafe or whatever is under 45 dollars. I'm not sure on which to choose, cause the pro is practiacly indestructable and theres not too many things to drive into at the lot FRC runs at. I dont wanna have bald tires when I actually do go off-road cause I'm gonna be on-road mostly. And I dunno shi* bout off-road pipes. Thx.

You can probably find them cheaper.

They also have them glued, trued and mounted for 29 a pair.

 

[Smurfola212]

Holy sh*t. Thats 60 dollars. I'm gonna attempt to find some cheap on roads. Anyone kno a good site to find any

oops. LOL! I was lookin at somthin else. My bad. Thas a nice price, I might get them.

 

[SilentGTboy]

I can get a set for 48 dollars, but if u can get them for 40 I will send u da money. how much would shipping be if u sent them to me GTboy?

 

[SilentGTboy]

The picture on crazy nut racing is resized incorectly and they look like this

I can you you those, mounted for $40 I don't remember how much unmounted was but I can check if you'd like

 

[Smurfola212]

Mounted is fine, I dont have rims or wheel dealios. how much would shipping cost tho. I will send u 40 dollars if you have you gimme ur bank account number.

One more question GT, are these good tires cause they look a bit thin width wise. If you need my AIM or email its [email protected] and my aim is xxremikzxx

 

[SilentGTboy]

Yeah, the tires don't look like they cover the entire rim in some pictures. I'll find a picture I posted here before of the Fioroni Storm which has those tire and it appears for have 2-3mm on the rim showing on inside of the tire.

I don't know my bank acount number and I don't know if thats something that you give out but I can link you to some places I go alot.

www.hpiforums.com
Ask some members they and they'll say I've bee doing good trades. You can also check my e-bay acount, [email protected], I've sold some rc parts on there and you can even e-mail the adderess and I'll be the one on the other line.

About shipping the parts will be shipped to me from the factory and then shipped to you so shipping is going to be higher. To make and order from them though I have to place a $100 order so you'd have to wait till more people order place a $125-$150 order youself. I will be getting some fioroni stuff though too.

 

[Smurfola212]

Sorry, I'm just gonna buy the tires off da guy on crazyhead. Free shipping too! Thx anyways GT. I need them by 2 weeks anyways, so I'm gonna buy my tires in 2 days. Thx guys!

[SilentGTboy]

Ok, Shipping would of taken a while through me but if your buying tons of parts it saves lots of money

Smurfola212, if that yellow wing that comes with the Pro hasn't exploded into a 100 pieces yet, it's going to soon. Get the Kyosho Wing (you drill your own holes):

Then get a Kyosho fuel filter. (if you don't have one already):

Those two things were my first hop-ups on the Lightning Pro.

If you want to bash the ProLine Knuckles are good tires that wear well. On our track, however, they tend to load up with the loose dirt. I bought four Knuckles premounted on a pair of dishes for $60 total. You can't really get around that price tag for good tires.

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

I've been wonderring who made that fuel filter. Although I like my Sullivan filters, the Kyosho would mount up well on the splash/dust guard for the break assembly. Perfectly! As seen in some pics.

Thanks Rob for the link!

 

[SilentGTboy]

The kyosho filter is over 4 times more exspensive then the dubro one.

I'd rather run 4 Dubros then pay $13 for the kyosho one.

 

[RobH]

that one doens't come apart for cleaning. :x It's only $12 too. Sure it's a lot for a fuel filter but I spend more taking the family to McDonalds.
