Does it apply to both fronts and rears, 2WD and 4WD?

Thx and great coverage of the NCTS
The super glue on the sidewalls take away side bite and help keep the car from traction-rolling. The traction at this track is almost double compared to most carpet tracks and they needed to make the cars easier to drive with the super glue on the sidewalls.

As it seems, there are a few of them left.

Default Yokomo YZ2T Turnbuckles

I have a YZ2T coming, looking for titanium turnbuckles for it but don't see YZ2T specific ones on the Jconcepts web. Are the Fin T6.1 turnbuckles the same lengths as the YZ2T?
Thank You.

You don't like Lunsford ones?
Just measure 'em and look on E bay.

I do like Lundsford, just prefer the look of the Jc Fins. So just curious, don't have the truck yet.

I'm not sure if they are a direct fit, but our T6.1 buckles are 67mm and 58mm.

We just got our first samples for 2wd and 4wd, so it will be a little while before production ships.

Noob here looking for recommendations on a rear setup for a 1/10 2wd stadium truck on an outdoor dirt track. It's around 90-100 F this time of the year if that matters.

I see flip outs, pin downs, double dee's, and goose bumps but its hard finding info for actual dirt track setups.

I finished building my B74 yesterday and had bad luck with a bad batch of paint today. Is there an ETA for a F2 body and hopefully a P2K yet? I painted one for the B6.1 for one of our club members, and everybody loves its lines and handling characteristics. It is about to replace the F2 as my all-time favorite. Keep it up everyone at JConcepts!

Goosebumps are great on really loose stuff and soft soil, Double Dee's and 3D's on hard and dusty tracks. I cannot comment on the handling characteristics of the Flipouts dirt tires, but Pindowns are for carpet/astroturf only. In your temperature range, you should not have to go to a softer compound than green.

4wd with swaggers on grey carpet.

Should I start with or with out foam

Most at my track use 2wd fronts in 4wd. I’m not a big fan so I’m mounting up 4wd fronts

thanks

I must have tried 4 rear tire pairs on my 2WD truck. I went with Goose Bumps and they are great. Hard pack,dusty track. Hole shots in front-quite neutral handling.
Front Goose Bumps on my buddies SC 10 was TOO much steering. Too much steering with front Proline edges!!!!!
The dusty straight is full of ruts,so I backed off the slipper;Excellent. My truck used to wheelie and go sideways.

We just finished the body and it's going through final paint/press release now, so within the next 2 weeks.
