Default Tires for Duratrax

My bad. Thats the second time I did that. The site is tm-rc-racingcomponents.com The Tamiya wheels fit you just need a 1/4 inch spacer on the axle. Tower recommends the spacer also on the Duratrax foam wheel so it must be a Tamya copy. Sorry about that, hope you find what you need.

Found it, thanx!

Looking for an easy way to help keep the motor cool? In the flat spot behind the "driver", cut or drill three holes. At the top go up to 3/8", and at the bottom corners go 1/4". These kept my motor cooler by at least 10* over previous runs.

I heard a rumor that the Delphi is being discontinued. Anyone else heard anything along those lines?

Default active delphi

Hey! Check this out. A Delphi took second at the Ga State F1 class last Sat. I've been looking for one to race. I know when they have the ball diff and real tires on them they can run with the best on the track. It was beaten by a Corally but not by much. Duratrax messed up by stopping production this close to the F1 Challenge. If they were smart they would offer a full option version without a radio for the serious racers. What do you think?

I think the cars aren't durable enough for most people. At our track they are seen as glorified Radio Shack cars. I have one and raced it here: won with it too but I feel the same way. Not tunable enough or durable enough. If the parts were a tad stronger then maybe it'd stick around more...
