FYI something you may want to pass along for possible listing for more sales, the Yokomo SO 2.0 buggy uses all 48mm sized turnbuckles, which I think are the same size of the RC10B6.4 and I think the new B7 used that too. they are 3mm thick but you could include a drill bit or just mention it. figure way to get more sales via just changing some bagging text

Maybe I glanced over the topic, but when are you guys liking the wide fronts? I have a set of pin swags and fuzzbites in wide width coming in just to give them a shot.

They seem to be more popular on older worn Carpet & Turf tracks where traction is a little lower and need some extra steering. They also work well on the front of 4wd buggies when you are looking to tame down the frontend .

to build on what PW is saying, if you are on a track that can fuzz up front slim tires, they work well.

Another comment on some things being tried with the wide 2wd fronts I have seen others doing has been to run the wide fronts on slim wheels. This gives them a bit more cushion on the tire, also seem to keep the foams from going soft as quick. We noticed that the foams definitely feel quite different between a fresh set versus a used set, so if you find you tires themselves look good but your handling doesn't feel the same, check the feel of the foams.

I just recently had my local hobby shop order me a set of pre-mount swagger stadium truck tires as well as a set of un-mounted fuzz bites with a pack of #3354W wheels and I noticed the wheels on the pre-mount set are not the same as the #3354 wheels?

The premount looks to have slightly thicker webbing and the concentric ring around each web which the #3354 does not but both wheels do have the JC mark on the outside dish. Is this a change in the design of the #3354 wheel and old stock is still being sold off or is the pre mount using a different wheel that is not otherwise available?

This wheel is just for the pre mounted ST wheels and is not available separately.

Hey Paul, I was wondering if you happened to have a hazard radio wheel (2450) laying around anywhere or thought about doing something similar to that again. I loved mine years ago and sold that old radio with it, have been searching for one since. Thanks!

So any more movement on a different front astro style tire? Basically a nessi maybe done in the fasion of a pinswag tire for a bit more front end grip?

End up using a combo of the Dropsteps rear and schumachers minidarts trimmed up front here and its money for 4wd be cool to see a jcconepts option.

Awesome! Looking forward to your findings !

Can we also get some premounts of the 1/8 Astro tires?

I just bought a set of the smoothies 2 in silver compound and was wondering what tire sauce works best for these tires. The track is a high bite clay surface

Do you make a radio bag for M-17 radio’s? Thanks, Dave.
