I've got a couple of questions.
1. I got some Dirt Webs for the T5M that i don't have yet
how do the blue inserts that come with the tires hold up?
i know most people prefer the AKA red inserts.
this might be a little off topic.
This will be my third vehicle and tires are starting to pile up. lol
what do some of you do for tire storage. i don't want to just chuck them all in a plastic container but i might have to.

I've had to resort to storing my tires in plastic bins. We have definite seasonality at my track. Winter is great because we run wet and tires last forever. A set of Holeshots for anything stock lasts 2 or three months. Spring is soft and summer/fall we run Proline X2s which only last 2 race days. I have about 150 pairs of tires in storage but that's for sc, st, buggy, 4x4 buggy, and 4x4 sc.
I'm really excited about the new T5. Pretty much for all manufacturers the latest generation of cars are so tough! I wear parts out more than I break them. Right now I run K cars and AE but as soon as AE has a whole line up the K cars will go out of service.

Well since only 4 guys have a T5 it's hard to say lol
You can bet it'll be better in several aspects. My Centro is just plain awesome. However, it's still based on the older platform. Durability is going to be way way higher with the T5. Ongoing testing and setup support and new aftermarket parts being developed for the new platform is a huge plus as well.

Only a select few on the team have the truck. The others in here just hand built and made one off parts
