Third, Has anyone tried the Parma foams on the Pro4? I have read somewhere that he ID of the wheel is smaller that most wheels and I wanted to make sure that the wheel would fit? Also, will 28mm width fit?
Thanks
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

Alot of people true them to 60mm before even using them from new (but not me, thats to expensive)
Parma'f fit just great Cyan/Magenta works a treat 28mm
You should really stat working out your gearing as RollOut to as it changes dramaticly with tyre size

I have been looking for/developing a rollout chart. I was just curious as to the minimum tire size that can be used before the tires need to be thrown away.

I use to be with the "run them full size" group. But now I cut all tires down to 59-60mm to start with. Usually a tire will chunk before you can run it down all the way anyways. The car just handles better. You may have some traction rolling issues with full size tires. You can run them clear down to nothing as long as they still handle good.
I just started using Parma's. They are 63mm new, so they definietly need cut. I think TRC's are 61mm new, don't remember what Jaco's are. So far the Parma's work find and no clearance problems. However I run my shock on the inner hole and haven't tried the outside hole with the tires.
Just put on Andy Moores' Cleveland setup and you'll be flying!.
take care

I am wanting to know how many of you are using after market heat sink motor mounts and what are your thoughts on them ?
We run 27t stock outdoors in rather warm conditions at the best of times...

62mm /57mm is the optimium size to get the best results.You get what you pay for.You can run them big but the car has to much rotating mass.Check out this rollout chart

I've never used anything but aluminum........I dont crash often so breaking isnt an issue, not to sound egotistical, I only want them for the color really.....the car is very light as it is.
I plan on using them for my top half of the car so the steel screws will keep the weight low and I can use lead in strategic places
