Thanks for all your help! =)

Sorry all our inserts are made for 24mm. EXP inserts are just thicker not wider.

have fun at the TCS!

The stc-4 body is an excellent body with very good balance and steering. My favourite body for sure!! (Sorry for the uncut posts!!)

Sweep Racing - do you, or can you make a wheel for a 1/10th scale pan car that a rubber touring tire would mount on?

Tried the 36r here on our track in Florida they don't seem to work every well they are a nice tire but don't hold the the grip on a treated or untreated asphalt outdoor track i don't like using sauce. .they do ok for about 10 to 15 laps after thatit's like being on ice i run 21.5 tc. And how can tell when the tire is done and not any good or use up ready for trash can? Thanks

Using the "right" sauce is a big difference , but not using any sauce makes it tough. I would go with the sweep R series tires that are meant for parking lots or in prepped surfaces. The r series are slightly taller and have more air gap. Try an r32

Also. At least wash the tires with motor spray before each run
