Faster FTEs

Jump to first page

The worst part is that someone stole it while I was handing out some free cars. Never again.... those little bastards will have to pay like everyone else, lol. I should charge a little extra to cover the cost of the new car, lol.

fhe...i think that because the "spokes"run all the way to the inside of the wheel that they deflect less... redlines were not hollow.... makes them more rigid...faster... i also think that the fte's are to influence the kids,....big inch rims...try
sweet 16 II's rear wheels... they fall out when disassenbled, no bending axles... time them with a finger spin. can;t wait to race on the 23rd... model40fan

Well, the FTEs are better if for no other reason than the plated axles. Certainly not the tires. I think you're right about the tires though, make them more solid and add some weight and they should roll a bit better, in theory. ...at least that's what Jason told me...whoops! Was that a secret?! ;P

It "WAS".... lmao.... at least you didn't drop all of the details..... I think there are three people that know the actual set ups on my cars.... I think that's good enough, lol.

I will agree that the OH5 wheel design is not better then any other style. Most wheels will perform similarly when set in the same situations. The only wheel that I've seen they consistently falls below the mark is the seven spoke wheels. I like the OH5's style and there is a ton of colors available, so that makes it a favorite of mine, but I still have to say I prefer the blings wheels on certain cars.
