Predator Wheels

[Insuspense]

Racers-
It has been about 5 years since I was an active racer, and in February during the pinewood season I was asked to assist a little dude with his car. Now I feel myself being pulled back in by this ridiculously addictive hobby. I was never one of the best before, but I did win a few races. I was doing a bit of testing this week and I am wondering if any of you have tried the Predator 2.0 wheels. I seem to have shaved about .01 second off my best times vs. the Cheetah wheels. I thought it might be a fluke, but I have 5 sets of these Predator wheels and they all seem faster, regardless of which car. Anyone else seeing the same results?

Chris, Welcome back to the world of PWD! The predators were just released this month to the public. i have ordered a set which should be here soon. I have heard they are better wheels but some of the very fastest racers are using cheetahs. If you bought 5 sets I would shelf a set or 2 and get your game back up to top notch then pull out the untouched predators. These are limited because they are made from pre 2009 wheels which I think have a heaver wheel hub. Good luck in the fire series can't wait to race you man!

Man! I hope I can get .010 out of a set of those wheels, it's what I've been lacking these past several months to keep up with the BIG dogs. /images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif

There is a huge thread regarding these wheels and what advantage they bring.

Heck yeah! I'd take another .01 in speed right about now.
