I guess the Tamiya's option front and standard rear would be the better combination.

1 last query, if I use HW 13T motor with FDR of 2.500 and 1s 3.7v 2000mah battery, then (theoretically) how long would this foam tires last on asphalt ?
Would it last for (at least) 3 (or 4) full battery charges ?

Thanks

That's a hard one to answer because it will depend on how abrasive the asphalt is. To give a personal example - I recently raced on a medium grip track and I manged to make one set of Tamiya tyres last 5, 8 minute races - mind you I was 4 laps slower than the fastest guys but in comparison they used 3 sets of fronts to my 1 set for the meeting.

To be honest I find front ride height far more of an issue than rear. I have the Tuning Haus inserts and haven't used the 2.5 yet as I simply haven't worn tyres small enough or been on a track smooth enough to need it. Even on outdoor asphalt I am running around 4.5mm to 5.0mm ride height.
