bags can hop, and will give a better ride, w/ hydros it's a rough ride, or too smooth(if you have accumulators). W/ hydros you will have to keep the bats charged

but with bags you have to wait for the tanks to fill unless you are running bottles which came become expensive depending on what you run (nitro, helium, compressed air etc...)

ya, and my batts last way longer than any nitro tank, I can also out hop anyone by almost double around here =) But they are kinda messy, u just have to keep everything tight, cause as ludacris lays "Hydraulics all around and we shake the ride"

bags require maintenance...as with anything if you abuse it you will find out how big of a pain in the ass they can be...preventive maintenance is the key...i dont have accumulators on my car and it doesnt ride bad enough as to where i dont like to drive it...its stiff but thats all..rides about the same as my stock xtreme...juice gives you more playtime, bigger moves, and its alot faster.. im running 48 volts which is fast enough for me..basically a hit of the switch and my car is completely up...

Re: air vs hydros

How can you beat anything with a 2.2?

I'm a hardcore performance guy too, but once you sit and play with a truck with bags...its hard not to like them. The looks you get are priceless.

I don't think any of these guys care about handling, and if you don't like air/hydros then why are you posting here?

Re: air vs hydros

like i said its just my 2 cents. but i never said i dont like them, ive used bags on my friends cars before but never juice so i cant say anything. i love bags, and if dros ride smoother then bags, id like them better.

Re: air vs hydros

Another deciding factor is whats legal in your state, hydros are illegal in VA, But u can get away with bags here...
