Re: <<<<needs parts

Air pro's

no mess or dripping leaks
low maint
smooth ride
easier on your frame (unless you hopping)

Air Cons

hard to hop
compressors (but you can run nitro)
no standing three (unless you wanna spend bank)

hydro pro's

Three wheel
hopping

Im not a hydro guy so i can say much about that but i like that i can get a smooth ride from my car when i want to and bags are better for me cause i liked the challenge of making it quicker and hop higher. no one here was really trying to do that beside slam and i and now we are the only air hoppers in town and everyone trips when i start hopping on air.

Re: <<<<needs parts

Now day air and hydros are about the same, meaning that air can do all the same stuff hydros do. It’s just easier to hop and three wheel with hydros but at the cost of constant maintenance and oily messes. It’s more of a personal opinion when it comes to just a weekend driver as opposed to a day to day.

Weekend driver: either one would be good

Day to Day driver: I would say, AIR

Re: <<<<needs parts

do you think my car would be to heavy if I put steel on the under side of my car for dragging? and do you think it would get to hot by the gas tank

If you drag, than know what you dragging. I have seen a few mini truck go up in flames from scraping the gas tank when they drag. you will have to check to see how far the gas tank is from the ground. If you drag the frame rails by the tank than allow at least 6-8 inches from the tank to the frame, any closer than that I would get concerned and just throw a fuel cell in the car, move or relocate the tank.
