Another thing I noticed is that the rear spacer is extended with two 4mm threaded holes. Maybe plans in the making for a factory rear defuser???

Check out sweep racing. I would go w/ their treaded tires for parking lot. Maybe 45-50 deg.

Slicks. Compounds vary between 40-50 deg w/ GTLS inserts. I have never tried the dual stage inserts, so I cant help out there. Slicks are for a clean prepped track surfaces though.

I got a question i just bought a sanwa mt4s from a guy here and while I was going through half throttle tank lost control of car after it got lil over 100 ft from me even my rtr controller didn't do that but my rx batt was getting low the wire doesn't seem damaged on rx at all anything else it could be? I'm running a super old nimh hump pack my lipo showed up today going to charge it and change it out.
