i want to buy them just to take sandwiches to the track in :D

yeah, I keep my JC bag when I buy tires. I also use ziplock large freezer bags. They are heavy duty and seal up nice. That is what I dislike about my proline tires, they dont come with a re-sealable bag like the JC and AKA

rofl, you made me laugh IRL. Just sauce your sandwich first before you put it in the bag, lol.

Do you care to point me to the correct kit (and any additional tools I will need) to purchase to get the proper size? I didn't see a 5-40 repair.

Thanks!

"Big thanks to Jconcepts for the ham and cheese on rye" :lol: and "A shout out to Amain hobbies.com for the resealable bag I brought my pickle in....I couldn't have done it with out you" :ha:

I look at all these fancy bags in our trash cans as a waste and only adds to our environmental issues & extra cost for tires...


But that's just me it seems ...

Yeah you would think Proline being one of the oldest Rc tire manufactures there is they would have caught on by now.

It would be nice to have a bag from Proline. Love the AKA bags. Would like to see more premounts for the 1/10 scale like the 1/8ths too. Been buying AKA for my B4 just because handlebars work good and I hate gluing.

Maybe I should start a saucing thread...has anyone else found traction compound to have the opposite effect when used outdoors?

I've been trying the ProTek stuff for the last 3 races (like 6 weeks) and it seems like every time I put it on I LOOSE traction...like I'm driving on ice for half of the race or more. At first I thought it was my technique but I asked how to properly use the stuff and I'm not doing it wrong. This week I marinated my tired for a couple of days...fail.

And I don't think this is because of the ProTek sauce, I was talking to another driver....a good one...who said he felt that outdoors sauce was the wrong way to go and described it like driving on ice which is exactly how I felt.

I guess it could make it worse. But normally its just a temporary thing like Matt said. It normally just accelerates tire wear and may not last the entire heat with the dirt in outside racing. Some tires sauces give the tire a slimy feel and then combine this with the dust on the track might make it worse. Historically, I have only sauced when running slicks.

only traction compound I have ever found to work outside on the tracks in our area is Buggy Grip.

It seems sauce and outdoors just makes for more tire wear without results. Even indoors, most of my tire prep is done prior to going to the track. I think the tires need to be "clayed-up" for the best results. Kind of like rubber cement where you need dirt on the tires to stick to the dirt on the track. When I do use sauce, or clean tires with Simple Green, they need to be run-in in hot laps to get coated with the surface to get the best results. I would just leave them dirty between rounds, maybe break free any packed dirt by hand once dried.

Thanks guys...I really wish I had this figured out 6 weeks ago...I really thought I had the B4 coming around and then thought I could take it to the next level with the traction compound. Total mistake it seems. Now there's basically one outdoor race left for me for the season and it isn't a points race. :( Then I head indoors to play with Bob and the rest of the gang at Bumps and Jumps.

Or meat sticks for Courtney :o.

How can I get more on power steering without out loosing too much rear grip and also off power steering..

any suggestions?
