Any big advantages/disadvantages to getting the wider Hoons or Method Velocitors? Ive only run 42/100 grps so wondering if wider would be good for street bashing.

If you want to send those crappy 107s to me, I can help dispose of them.I beg to differ.
I tried the 53/107s on my Typhon TLR compared to the 42/100's. Final drive gearing remaining very close with a pinion swap. 107's sucked by comparison IMHO. And maybe this is even why the Felony guys struggle with traction. With those 53/107's at the rear. They just don't match up well with 42/100's at the front of the Felony. Too tall. Arrma should have made them 53/100's instead, from the start.
So it will depend how you plan on driving with them. The 53/107s' just "Look Cool". For dediccated speed running, no one will be using the 53/107's IMHO. I know I didn't like them. Poor traction. And the added chassis height lift was a definite Disadvantage. I think you will get better directional stability for straight high speed passes with the 42/100's or GRP GT size wheels.
In the end, if you just want to bash around , the 53/107s are ok. Just Not for any performance or better driving characteristics. They do look great on the shelf.
Thanks for reminding me - I tried those 53/107s a while back and they were terrible. Far less grip than the 42/100s. Both sets in “white” compound. I still don’t understand why.I beg to differ.

GRP XM7 are great bashing tires. Better grip than Hoons and they last 3 times as long.Good to know. If there aren't specific handling improvements for general street bashing I'll stay with GRP's.
