What kind of performance upgrades do you think will be available for the Slate?

[AZFox]

However, the best handling (or any other category) tires are only available in sizes that work well for them.

Makes sense. My frame of reference is all-terrain/off-road tires. Some sizes of a specific tire vastly differ (in various categories) compared to other sizes.

Thanks for providing your insight.

Hmmmm well getting away from motor maybe add a gear ratio transmission to it some how? I could see it being like how the vw vanagon synchro I believe has theirs where the actual gearing is on the wheel that would be a interesting blast from the past but I could see there being suspension upgrades, brakes maybe if someone is clever some alternative lighter panels (not that I think it would be needed tbh),maybe different front end(performance may vary) since the motor is in the back and is a “direct hook up” to the wheels I think it would be difficult to make any actual performance gains but that all really depend on the type of performance your looking for for sheer horsepower a motor swap lol would be needed but for mile gain it could be down to wight and aerodynamics not that i think we can do about the aerodynamics on a truck

Very good, and I agree, but please use a PERIOD every once in a while.

Amen, Comrade. I had to ignore him, because the posts were word salads with good ingredients but terrible presentations.

Poor grammar or spelling much easier to understand than egotist gibberish. Easier to skip as poster must not think message is important.

GUILTY!

Although it's true, I'm mildly retarded.

Thank you. Now we're friends again!

We're all in the same (waiting) boat, as far as I can see. Some with more time to share than others!

I just want to know how long until we get a Slate Daytona wing? Every add on accessory adds 5hp.

I think that sort of thing is why they put the bed tower rack on some of their sportier mockups in the Slate Maker. I remember thinking those Daytonas were so cool

Same here, I hope someone makes one, I'd be all in for a wing. I remember a lot of 90s minitrucks having little tonneau cover spoilers. Heck, you don't even have to paint whatever one goes on a Slate! I bet someone will at least make a bigger version of the little wing on the tailgate.
