Towing

[flandersander]

I was wondering how you beef up a rig to tow stuff? A larger cooling head i suppose and maybe double tires but what else?

bigger bumpers to hold weights. change from shocks to turnbuckles. no suspension, no flex. aluminum clutch shoes, and plenty of spares. higher percentages of nitro, and some good tires. any questions u got about it, ask, I've done a few competitions and am getting pretty good at it.

My pulling rig.

Why weights? Ur pullin rig is the tiny truck by the transmitter? jk jk. What truck is that? scale?

 

[alpinehyperlite]

the weights add more mass to the vehicle to try and get more traction. The weights are on the front in order for it to inhibit wheelies.

Losi Aftershock. 1/8 scale
