Re: Factory Tubbies vs Rear Sponsons

Tubbies for sure... it keeps the nose up... otherwise you're subbing in each corner.

Worth their weight in gold! You can get the New Blowsion Destroyer Sponsons which are the latest in "Tubbie" Technology. www.blowsion.com They are 1 piece composite construction so there is no delamination like other MFG's. also 3 bolts and your ready to ride!

Re: Factory Tubbies vs Rear Sponsons

Rear sponsons! with tubbies i find they do stop subbing, and some corners they will get round spot on... but not every corner! when i had my s4 i raced with rear sponson because i knew exactly what it would do every corner, it would grip every time. With tubbies i find you can do a certain corner on a track and you'll get round perfect, you can do another lap, get to the same corner, do exactly the same thing, and will slide out. But to be honest i really think it depends on each individuals style and you will only which you prefer after trying both and playing around with set ups.
