Paul, I am looking for a front tire with a little less steering. I know that part of my problem is set-up but I am traction rolling quite a bit. I have a set of green Rips with closed cell foams and a set of blue Rips with stock foams on a B4. I am looking for a tire where there is a little less intial turn in traction? The green Rips work a little better but I still have to watch what I am doing in the one very high speed corner. The track is very high bite indoor clay, The Ohio RC Factory.

I just finished painting/cutting/mounting the new 0222 HiFlow body on my SCTE and I love the look, love the vents but I need to comment on a couple things.
1) On a SCTE with stock-offset wheels, it's not even close to covering the front tires. At a race with the, "body must cover the tires" rule, even the most liberal/blind tech guy would have a very, very hard time looking the other way as this one came through.
2) I used the dimples as labeled for the SCTE and because the front tires don't really fit under the body, I have to run the front end of the body absurdly high or go to about -10 front camber to get them under as the suspension compresses or the body hits the tires bad. Thankfully I didn't cut the front of the body to the trim line but after getting everything settled on the car, I still have room under the grill sticker for a whole additional grill sticker to fill the gap before the top of the front bumper. FWIW, this is with Barcode tires and not anything wider.
I'd love to see the body massaged a bit to get a better fit on the SCTE or introduce a separate, "first ever SCTE-specific racing, flow-style" body for the SCTE.

PW, when are the new mono 12mm hex wheels(in yellow) and hexes going to be available for the b4?? I NEED them.
Thanks
Thanks

Anyone tried the new Hazard +3mm offset wheels on the SC10 2wd? anything jump out handling wise?
Looking to convert to 12 mm hex, and wondering if its worth it to wait for the white hazards.
Thanks, Krom.

I second that...I need white ones bad. I have been holding off buying anything else because I only want to run these wheels. Also, I would like to know (if possible) when the alum hex's will be available. Any info would be great...thanks

I just did the conversion with the AE SC10RS parts. It was easy. The front doesn't have height adjustment with the new design. In terms of handling it was slightly better and more planted than before. I didn't change the set-up but I plan to shorten the rear camber link. I had good side bite it jumped great. It also looks much cooler too. Love the Hazard wheels. I just need another 4 sets or more!!!! LOL.

@ PW, thanks. Cant wait for the white ones for indoor.
Any time line on the aluminum hex's for the SC10 to be back in stock? the plastic ones from Associated look suspect at best. Plus i like the clamp design, very nice feature.
Thanks, Krom.
