+1 and spin true.

PM sent!

I have used thin tire glue for a while, but with the avid rims (I assume) I dont link the thin. The larger bead seems to allow the glue to go under the tire and into the foams. With open cell I am kinda like so what. But the closed cell would be an issue. I was reading the panther site and they suggest gluing the outside bead with the foam insert NON installed yet. letting it dry, then putting the closed cell in. I can see how that might allow you to get a better outside glue adhesion. But i would still have the issue with the inside bead and the thin glue. Since closed cell foams are often reused, i wanted to be careful with this. granted, I am no where near the best tire gluer. I bought a used sc10 last year that had the best tire glue and balancing ever. Perfect glue job and they were balanced to spin perfect, even after months of use.... /envy.

maifield runs that esc with a 7.5, no? so what is with the 9.5 motor rating?

At the track


Comparing stiffest of rims....


A observation of mind



I recycle my rims...

After using the rim for one cycle ?


It will have quite a bit more flex then when it was new ....

Fair to say the plastic loses stiffest, like inserts ...




another observation


A stiffer rim is more consistent and improves performance on high traction conditions ...

Competition vs WorksTeam.

/face palm

I am running 7.5 with my works team, should I not?

That's fine, you shouldn't with the competition.

Whats the difference between the Comp and WT speedo? Why is it ok to run a 7.5 with one and not the other?

I run a 7.5 with my competition SXX v2 and iv had no problems at all.

Comp is cheaper and has a motor limit of 9.5 i believe. Catered more toward the spec racing crowd, rated current is 200a/phase vs the works 400a/phase. Works Team has a very low motor limit (3.5T) and is more for the open modified classes.

Your SXX v2 has a low motor limit and lrp didnt make a cheaper sxx version...thus why youve never had problems

Does anyone know where I can get a spare b4.2 front tower? I broke mine... :-/

You are most likely just going to have to get the standard B4 front tower and add a couple spacer up top to space the shock out.

Rc10 Diff Bolt?
 

I am looking for a b4.2/b44.2/etc. diff bolt that has a long head with a flat for externally adjusting my differential. Similar to K cars.

Anyone know of such a product? Mcmaster/ace/some kinwald super mod?

If it would work w/o modifying the outdrive, game changer, right!?

I would be grateful for any tips you could share.

Thanks
