Default Shredders = Sliders?

I was riding in dirt today (first time with shredders on) I realized they slide SOO much. No gas, going 5 mph I can cut a 180. I did find a nice double step up with long runways to get going. Got maxed in 3rd and was catching a lil air. It was only taking me about 50ft to be at redline in 3rd with a 15 tooth, makes me wonder if they tires were just spinnin.

My Holeshots in dirt do not like to hook up. My freind tells me I drive like an idiot but thats the tires(maybe) heheh. I run 6 lbs in mine but I think your suppose to run em up to what the stockers are suppose to be.

I run 7 pounds of pressure in my shredders and they hook up well, but can slide when you want them to.

I run 4-5lbs in my Shredders and they hook up great.
Jakal, get you a low air pressure tire guage (one should have come in the tool kit) and check your pressure, it has a big difference how they perform. Lower the pressure to around 4 and see the difference!

I ran all different air pressures on my holeshots on my souped up warrior and all they would do is spin.

The sliding is kinda fun except when you get going fast and when you hit a bump you feel it break loose. I think ill try lowering the PSI. Problem is the suckers slowly leak down.
