I just put my granite tires on my vorteks. I'm hoping for better grip and less chassis slap. Looks awesome. I wonder how it's gonna go

Nice, like the Granite tires, put them on my Bigrock.
So what upgrades are you guys thinking about doing?Some chassis slap is good, it stops parts snapping and bending. Mine slaps and I'm happy for it to do so, she rarely breaks.
I have a Granite, looks like you do too. But if I got a Vorteks, I would never do this. It defeats the whole purpose of the Vorteks. The Vorteks is supposed to be low to the ground for speed, stability and control. If you want to jump with less chassis slap, use your Granite. Use the Vorteks for speed and control on flatter ground. Granite tires on a Vorteks gives you an RC that jumps worse than your Granite and handles speed worse than a stock Vorteks.I just put my granite tires on my vorteks.

What kind of shocks and shock towers? I break mine almost everytime. Probably need to stop going from air to concrete!Some chassis slap is good, it stops parts snapping and bending. Mine slaps and I'm happy for it to do so, she rarely breaks.

Aside from losing them all the timeHow u like those hex drivers? I have the same. So far so good. Only had them 2-3months
People are buying the Vorteks for the wrong reason. Of course you get more chassis slap. It's lower to the ground. Once you start doing big jumps, flips and rough off-roading, you should have gotten a Granite/Big Rock. With the shorter shocks/towers/tires, the Vorteks KILLS the Granite/Big Rock when it comes to high speed runs and quick handling on flat ground. If you got a Vorteks and wonder why it doesn't handle rough off-road, high grass or high jumps so well, it's because it's not designed for that. It's partly Arrma's fault. They NEVER mention the shorter towers/shocks and what the Vorteks is designed for. It's a super agile flat ground speed basher, not a rough off-road jumping basher.
This is exactly what I bought the Vorteks for, if someone doesn't know what a low center gravity stadium truck is, it's their fault.

Will be looking for it as I just ordered one.Damn, did you somehow see my not-yet-released Vorteks review video dropping Saturday?
Think you are going to enjoy it. I recently sold two Rustler 4x4s and a Rustler 2wd, all VXLs used for street use. When the Vorteks came out I jumped on it because I needed a dedicated street basher.Will be looking for it as I just ordered one.
