clipping tires

[stanmondz]

whats with all the talk about clipping the chevros on the t maxx about?
what are the advantages? what do you cut?

Cut the "shoulders" of the very square ribs, on the outside edges of the tires, at about a 45 degree angle, just as if they had worn down from driving ina tight circle for 8 hours....it helps to keep from "snagging" the tire when you corner hard, going too fast, and in rutted dirt tracks.

cool thanks

works wonders and the tires will eventually wear like this anyway, so save your body shell some abuse and clip the tires sooner rather than later.
