The Z bends do wear the holes bigger in the servo saver over time and the small plastic ball joints will pop off more often than bigger ones, but for a few weeks you aren't going to notice much difference.
The only downside is that you can't adjust the length as fine as using turnbuckles.

I used normal tires and car's width, but when someone on your track takes advantage of that... I have to do the same :-)

If you are racing outdoors on a slightly bumpy track then the wires may be better.
I remember a guy (Terry should know him ? - Graham Hill) who raced at the (no longer) Basildon circuit which was very bumpy, set FTD in round 1 and found his servo loose, tightened it for round to and found the track difficult like the rest of us, in round 3 he loosened the servo again and went fastest of the day.
From that point on many of us ran wires outdoors as the car felt less twitchy and sensitive on the steering.

It can I race on a large asphalt track which was in the day for 1/8 gas what I have noticed is that it can smooth out the steering and takes away the binding which can happen when left dry. The other oil I also use is the oil that is used to oil the bushes in the motor it's a tuning option you would really need to try a few different ones to feel the results

Hey guys! My names Brandon and I'm new to this forum and F1 style racing.
I've been running my f1pro on carpet for a few weeks now and its slowly getting dialed in, but i still cant seem to keep it from traction rolling without being to tail happy in the corners, so I have a few questions for people running on carpet.
1. What diameter foam tire seems to work best for short carpet tracks?
2. What is the weight that seems to work best for you?
3. Is there any things that are super important when setting this up for carpet?(sound like a stupid question)<<<noob
Any help is greatly appreciated!
