Stopped by today and OH YEAH!

I am currently down at RC Plus. Good news, panther slicks rock on carpet. I wish i had my front slicks as well. I heard Cameron brought this up a while back. They are very hooked up but also a little forgiving on aggressiv driving.

I was very successful running them on carpet. A little sticky kicks on them to help with the bite for a the first few laps but when they get warm they are very fast. Much like on road rubber tires. 4w a few burnouts on warm up laps to get them warm and your good to go.

So slicks are just fine on 4wd sct? Maybe I won't need mini pins after all.

Also what should I do to my 4wd sct as a basic qui decline setting it up for carpet?

SC there is a trick I do to the front tires to reduce corner bite. Actually a euro trick they use. JP reminded me of it when I was fighting going on two wheels in every corner.

About 1/4 inch of super glue on the outside edge of the front tires is all it takes. Kind of easier to show you than describe it.

Use a q-tip to run a 1/4 strip of glue around the outboard edge of the tire's contact patch. Don't glue the q-tip to the tire, it'll throw off the balance. I've used this trick on high-bite clay, as well. It always felt like a band-aid, but it works remarkably well.

So just normal super glue or the gel type? Cause normal super glue seems to run all over the dam place.

In on road we do this all the time to foam tires and sometimes rubber. We did this to our F1 cars a lot. Normally just use normal super glue. Put your car on a stand so that you can freely rotate the tire. Spin the tire slowly as you apply super glue from the bottle. Start near the rim and work up putting a light coating of glue on. You can then use the side of a hex wrench shaft or screw driver shaft to even out the layer of glue even more. You want a thin coat so it does not run and dries on it own rather quickly. Do not use zip kicker because it will bubble. Apply more coats as needed.
