pure sport bandit tires are a good choice and i suggest new skid plates

Youll also want to consider a new front end. You want a very plush suspension. Long travel shocks and extended A Arms. Off the top of my head, Gibson and Roll Design are just a few people you want to talk to about that. Both companies make front end kits. A kit like that will set you back at least 2500 bucks.

Desert is all about speed. A 440 motor and taller gearing.

Tires? Ive got a set of Bandits too. Traction is good in the rear, but since the fronts are wide, they tend to chose there own path quite a bit.

Hope this was helpful to you. Let us know how your project turns out!!:D

3+1+ Arms 7degrees caster, 3degrees camber and 1/4" toe in. RPM Dominator axle. Skip the Bandits......too much unsprung weight. Go with the new Kenda Knarly's or ITP XCT Holeshots.
Ohlins, TCS or Custom Axis.....Strong skids!
