They're made of concrete so hitting them will give a nice air ... or at least scratch the chassis so better not not hit 'em

OK, finally the weather was warm enough and sunshine so I decided to break-in my GX28R. It was a positive surprise, it started easily and kept on going nicely. No driving on the ground yet, but looking good definitely. The pipe gives a nice sound, not too loud compared to race pipes.

Bummer! I was glueing my first set of V-slick tires.. I prepared the rims with sanding paper and put duck tape around the tire but then forgot to put the double sided tape to hold the insert before glueing...then it was too late of course. Hope the foam won't move too much because of this... Or do you think have no use for this pair ?

Jspeed,
That setup that you gave me a couple of months back works like a charm. I have used it at Bvoltz Bass Pro Series races (2 of them) and it has my car hooked up on the track (which can be tight for these big cars). It does help that I am using the OFNA McLaren body which has a low, sleek profile as compared to the BMW body. Thanks for the tips.

I did vary from it a little to suit my driving skills (OFNA tires instead of Kyosho and 30K oil in the rear instead of 10K). My was pretty much dialed for the track that was set up but my brakes faded badly as the raceday progressed. Guess I need to upgrade that very, very soon.
I will give my best to Barry whenever I can get him to call me.

I'm especailly going to need ANY help I can get when I face all of the pro IGT drivers in Memphis later this summer.. Those guys are so fast, I pee a little whenever I think about racing with them

Hey folks, anyone know where the GRP rally tires went? It seems that GRP's website doesn't list them anymore.
I did find this on Team Losi's site:
http://www.losi.com/Products/Feature...dId=LOSA17768B
The 1/8 Rally buggy tire features a reformulated blue compound developed for optimum performance by Losi engineers in conjunction with GRP. Each tire utilizes a custom molded insert, which provides even response and greater use of the full tread pattern. GRP’s innovative gluing process ensures that the mounted tires stick to the White Losi high performance wheels under the harshest of conditions.
Features
* Reformulated Blue compound developed for optimum performance on multiple surfaces
* Custom molded insert utilizes even response over entire tread pattern
* Mounted on White spoke high performance wheels
* GRP's innovative gluing process ensures securely mounted tires
