Honestly whats the difference with Sliders and Grippers?

[JamieBowe]

I know ones hard and ones softer but i hear different things from different people, Are the sliders really that bad for park? Are they bad compared to eagles? I would get grippers but they don't have the colours I want

[JamieBowe]

I don't want an eagle, I ride them and proto's are alot better.

you die if you do tiretaps with sliders
enough said
sliders last longer but you slip a fuckload on parks
especially on wood
and grippers wear down
and are pro for everything
i'd just get grippers and some rit dye
overnight they can be your colour

Explain with the rit dye?

 

[tarrymonz]

okay
you know how on aussieland you said they arent your colour
you can dye wheels with rit dye
and if you dont like the core colours you can spray paint them like hep greg did

sliders are for street and grippers are for park

 

[Bear Grylls]

i got sliders and there fine for both.

 

[nitroRCs]

I got grippers and there sick for both...

I think the grippers are for if you ride mostly park, but they are also for street. The sliders are mostly for street. Sliders slip out of park (espically wood) so if u ride mostly park, get grippers, if u ride mostly street, get sliders.

Grippers have a softer, more grippier urethane, where as the sliders have a harder, more slippery, and more tear resistant urethane, which makes them last longer then the grippers, but they dont have the grip and the performance of the grippers.

So, if you ride street, get sliders, if you ride park, get grippers.
