And readily available to all, just come ask me, and all bought within Aus from a local supplier, so no grey import fingers to be pointed.

Bradd, with B/L being such a huge advantage over the Brushed motors, how come you can't pass them down the straight it it's suppose to be sooooooooooo much faster.

Also why are Foam tires so much cheaper???

Coxy i must have really good self control and dont pull full throttle when i go down the straight

Re foam tires, In aus there is more demand, demand leads to price competition between brands, price reductions etc. The opposite is true in the US, high demand for rubbers, lower prices, foams in US are like $25us a pair.

Champion Champion Champion Champion, the same as the rest half the price

So why not switch to rubber like the rest of the world and the demand will transfer onto rubbers, resulting in more competition and lower prices?

Well Mr American Idol,

Why is it that only the TC class runs rubber tire? Foam is cheaper because its used in many classes .1/12th, 1/10th, All Nitro classes etc.

TRC and Orion Foam is the only exception both are so expensive they must come with solid gold rims. Even though both are GRP.

The IFMAR ruling is rubber but the powers that be at IFMAR do not have the guts to promote an open tire situation.

This topic has been agued so many times its not funny, our local Aus rules hold the answers to the problem.

Because rubbers blow, shat all traction, overheat, wear out quickly, require dead on balls accurate setup, expencive, thousands of rim/insert/tire combo's.... and the list goes on....

honestly havent there been enough rubber v's foam threads?

the crazy thing is they (rubber v foam) seem only to appear in the aust'n forum

why not hit "bradd vercoe" with some tougher questions... like does he know t2q? (this is a rhetorical question right )

Mr RTR i hope you are not implying i am related to Mr Timmy, i dont have that much of a quick wit. I wish i did

Plus i am a lot better looking.

But i would like to know who the character asuming the username "Bradd Vercoe" is, angry at first, but then has provided a few hours of laughs

no not at all...

just tired of the same old same old rubber v foam...

and thought like you seem to, that "bradd vercoe" and t2q have some things in common, along the same lines as you think

whats this, we dont agree! next thing you know you will be running an rtr car yourself! and ill think that promoters dont have the right to set the rules for their events
