Thank YOU!! While I've got you here, is there any chance for a Rulux wheel set for the J82 with the QC rears? Just glancing at the J82 rears, it doesn't look like the offset required for the J82 would work with the QC wheel but hopefully I'm wrong.

Jon

The offset doesnt allow that to be a possibility. :(

17.5 was what I was told for SCT "Mod" class. I'll see if I can snap a pic of J's SC10 later today.

I'm considering to buy a set of Goose Bumps for my SC10. What kind of wear time can I expect to get out of a set? I run on red clay with a somewhat loose surface. Since they are the super soft green compound, will I get only one or two race nights out of them? They would be strictly for racing.

Running on a loamy or loose surface should allow the tires to wear well, they should last for quite a while. We're not talking about a small pin tire on a blue groove track.

Some pics of the new Illusion RC8e body I quickly got ready for the Shootout this weekend. I have a second one and B44 scoopless body to send off to PMI eventually for a fancy paintjob. :)

I think you'll be happy with the goose bumps. I run them on my B44 on a loose loamy track. The problem is that When the tires are new they have too much traction and the car will tend to traction roll in the corners if I push it too hard. The tires are great after the bumps get worn though. On new sets, I take a wire cutter and cut the bumps off to speed the wear process. Like Andy said, these tires should last you a long time. The other great thing about JC tires is that you dont have any extra rubber on the glueing lip of the tire to remove like with P**-***e tires.

The 0009 and the 0048 are styled significantly different, and the CR body is a little longer as well.

Hey Andy, guys, I'm going to order a few JConcepts wings for my B44. I'm tired of the stock ones ripping to shreds after a while, hopefully these will last a bit longer.

Which wing would you recommend for a B44? Medium sized track (specifically 1/10th size, not a 1/8th track) with fairly low traction conditions.

I was wondering what difference other than looks the deep V wing has over the regular wing?

Thanks in advance for your recommendations!:nod:

Codman, my personal preference is the 6" high downforce V-wing because of the large difference in downforce. My local track is as loose as they come and the v-wing does more than it's share to settle the rear of my B44. As for durability, you'll enjoy the JC wings AND bodies:nod:. Good luck!

Jon
