The only RC's capable of "smoking" the tires are 5th scales.... at around $90 a pair of tires it can get real expensive...

Foam 26 mm rear hard compound like purple, rear wheel drive pull her up to the board on an asphalt track with a hot mod and floor it. Might have to stiffen the rear spring's. That would be cool.

Actually this summer I plan to try it with a 3.5 novak in an FK05, with the front belt out just for the fun of it. 10th scale. After seeing that other post with the extra batteries its making me wonder if I'll need more power?

Im sure that would work up against a wall... but It would prolly have to much power to really burn rubber when ur takin off....
Or as Too $hort says... "Man I kill a car, when I take off I peel out hard!!"
