I just watched a Moto-X race where all of the dirt bikes ran slicks for tires...


...not

Anyone else here race when we ran on top soil (not clay) tracks and used "Moto-X" style tires that provided tons of traction, which where hard "plastic-feeling" compound and lasted for months? Oh and no need to sauce or hope that the dirt track that we were racing on was "dust-free" on the surface?

Nope... but certainly close enough.

yeah, I also remember trying to get metal filings out of my motors and resorting to vet wrap or coffee filters to help. I raced in the 80's, but I dont consider those the "glory" days, lol. We also had small jumps back then. Not like today's super aired flyer club. I also dont miss working very hard to make a 4 minute race before dumping. Yeah, what we do today is more like onroad with jumps, but I still enjoy the hobby and i enjoy not spend hours and hours trying to finish off my kits to make the smooth. But these days I have kids and dont really have the time to do finishing work on kits that assemble poorly. So the set it and forget racing we do today, is nice.

That's what I figured... AE has the 91350 and 91353 tapered 4 x 1.3

lol, we were limited to 6 cell. This was the only yellow sanyo cells. 1200's. I did like the SCR's when they came out. Ah, it was only 23+ years ago.......

I use the #91446 (and #91447 of course) front and rear on mine and everything fits fine.

I was looking at my rc10 the other day. Man, I was utterly clueless back them. More so than today . I did so many mods and most of them probably hurt me more than helped me. My rc10 is almost 100% aftermarket parts. My chassis was all cut up and I didnt even know what a roll center was back then. I believed spending money would make me fast. Well, I am now over that, lol. I felt sick putting pucks on my car, lol. Aside from Lunsford turnbuckles and the AVID slipper, I dislike most "upgrades". And yeah, novaks were the sh$t. I still have my 410 in my box of old stuff.

A 1.3 is not even close to a 55

55 is just short of a 1.4 , please take note
A 1.3 is very close to , well ?

1.3 duh...

I want a 4 x 55 please ...not a 1.3...

Here are my cars just before the 1993 Reedy Race. You can see the RC10 is pretty darn stock - the Lazer is somewhat hopped up with AE shocks, Kyosho tires, etc. But they both have the 1400 mah SCR red packs in them and while there's a Novak in those, I moved to Tekin for most of my serious racing time.
