Are you selling all of your 2.4's and not planning on running them for mod? I am still beating this one up deciding on which tire / wheel I want to go with in my new buggy. From what I can tell, there was a few folks griping about the glue coming up, which to me sounds more like a glue / operator problem. If 2.4" is better overall (for mod) and is likely the direction all will be headed after ROAR approves them, why not jump on the bandwagon now? I am obviously not racing in any ROAR events, I just want to get the best and not yesterday's news.
I can see I am going to have to re-learn how to glue tires (the right and clean way). All of my 1/8 scale stuff has been pre-mounts.
Thanks for your help!

A couple things are definites: they're lighter than 2.2's, and they can give more over all grip.

Thanks for the replies on the 2.4" stuff I posted guys, this is good and helfpul info. I am not sure if you are talking about Nick above, but he echo'd your comments, I will stick with 2.2". I have been running Dirtwebs, but am kind of excited to try Electrons. Up here (TRCR), J-Concepts and AKA still kind of run the roost, it should be fun to see how the Electrons do.
Thanks again for the replies and help.

surprising to hear people need to glue their inserts to save their front bearings. I have only changed a right rear bearing on my B5-rear last winter. On my B5M I assume the bearings were changed cause the previous owner usually upgrades stuff. I have only had the mid motor car for a month. both cars are only used in mod and neither have the inserts glued.

All my 2.4/VTR's stay home in a box, half ran and coming unglued after trying everything in the book. Tried them all. No thanks!

Anyone have suggestions on my B5m with traction rolling. My local track has a high speed chicane. I am running handlebar fronts with dirt tech inserts and chainlink rears with aka red inserts. It seems when i enter the chicane the front tires sidewall is flexing and im hitting the rim. Any suggestions on keeping this from happening. and different foams I can run?
lower front inner link
heavier front shock oil/spring.
try a different body..I traction roll a lot with the proline phantom. Finnisher is a good body

What is Ackerman
02-26-2015, 03:00 PM
From the B5 manual:
Ackermann is the angle difference between the front wheels when they are turned to steer the car. For minimal tire slip, it is standard for the inside wheel to steer to a greater angle than the outside wheel. The B5 allows ackermann adjustments by changing the washer thickness used behind the steering rack ballstuds. The kit setup uses 2mm washers and is most common for racing conditions. If corner entry steering is too aggressive, try increasing the ackermann by removing shims from behind the steering rack ballstuds. Increasing the ackermann will increase the angle difference of the front wheels when steered, resulting in a more stable car on corner entry.

I have not had issues with glue. But they are tearing on me. to be honest, I do not like gluing them. I thought they would be easier, but I no longer think that. They take more care than 2.2s. So I plan to switch back to 2.2s until at least the sidewalls are beefed up. On SS tires, the sidewalls never last me long at all. Longer on clay though.
