reversing baja claws

Post by vorno_18 »

i no they have a rotational direction on them but it looks to me they would get more grip off road if you ran them againt rotation

has anyone done this and how much better/worse are they

would only do this off road and would change before i drove on road again

i think they would work better on rocks etc... but as soon as you went in the mud they would clog up a the mud would go toward the centre and not clean out the sides as it is designed to

when i do comps.... i run my rear 2 backwards and leave my front 2 forwards..... less stress on cvs up front and they grip better on rock reversed... but as said worse in the mud or wet.
