Do you know what bed liner you can use to cover the paint on body to protect it ? Guessing something water based but what exactly

Anything in the pipe that you can talk about?
Would like to know this as well.

Nothing yet; we will have to get one of the new kits and then go from there.

I don't really recommend it, but that would be a better question in one of the painting threads. I use our JConcepts RM2 aluminum reinforced tape for my personal bodies. It's super thin and sticks well - Click Here

Would like to know this as well.
I already responded to that

Default Goose Bumps for Stadium Truck

Have the Goose Bumps for Stadium Truck been discontinued, or are they just out of stock? I’m looking for some good outdoor racing tires. Dirt is hard packed underneath, but has a soft layer on top. Running outdoors with my sons until we can get to an indoor track. Thanks.

That's the kind of track I run on so I would like to know the answer too. I'd go a little further personally and ask what people run on Short Course trucks also. Curious for both front and rears. Not worried about ROAR regulations so I would consider ribbed tires on the front for both

In my experience, depending upon the level of dust/fluff I swap between Double Dees, Flip Outs and GooseBumps - I am a big fan of rib fronts as well, but like to keep some small pin tires just in case I want to smooth out the steering.

Love me some stadium truck.

Would love some Hybrids or Sprinters for Stadium truck.

I use bed liner all the time, it stiffens the body, protects the paint as well as adds both visual and physical density to a shell.

I was considering all of those with some ribbed fronts.

They are still in production, but out of stock and I've been told they are ready and shipping to us soon.

Sprinters are actually in the works and coming soon

Which ones. I thought it might attack the paint. Water based paint

Hi Paul, what would be a good tire combination for 2WD Kyosho RB7?

The track is hard packed, dusty and loose. Folks are using Goose Bumps on 4WD and they are working well. Thanks!
