wondering if I should convert to TT

[volitan]

I have a MT right now and I am curious to know If I should try out converting to a TT.Why did you guys with the TT chose it instead of the Mt?

Easy


Smaller tires, better performance

SO in order to convert,I would need to change the rims and tires,then what is the gearing that I would need?


Other than those obvious 2 what would be required?

The TT has a 29/31/25/25. I believe the MT already has the 25/25 so you would need a 29/31 to gear I to TT wheels. I use a 30/30 and thar seems to work pretty good.

cool thanks.I wanted to install metal gears anyways,so heres the time to upgrade

Also you will need the rear wing, rear wing tabs and rear wing posts+ hardware. The MT gearing is 25/35/25/25, the TTs gearing is 29/31/25/25. So you will need a 29 and a 31 tooth gear.

I've really like the way the TT handles with small tires. I've even went lighter by running Baja fronts.

The Mt is pretty cool but i figured converting it to TT with a 30.5 ONB with gived me lots more speed,of course im sure that dragging those big mt tires slows the thing down alot..I guess I will see the difference when I try it out

Yea it's a big diff. I have a tt and just put the MT tires,gears and a 8000rpm clutch spring on it, i like how big it is and can't wait for the snow but i will be going back to the buggy tires after winter it's just funner handles better, takes off faster and just all around better.IMO. don't get me wrong the MT tires look cool and massive. I think you will be happy.
