What kind of tire/insert/traction compound combos do you like to run also for your carpeted TC3?

Ok you can go back and finish your golf game....

Does Barry race Sedans anymore?

Or maybe he is soooo good that he does not use shocks or tires anymore.... hmmm Maybe he uses golfballs instead.

For Carpet I use 70wt. oil in the front with #3 pistons and yellow springs.....50wt oil #3 and purple springs in the rear....with Jaco purple/orange front tires and purple rears...

With rubber tires I used 40 wt #2 pistons front and rear with the take off cs 27 pre assembled tires...

No more Golf Jokes...lol.... my swing is so bad right now due to all the Bowling I have been doing....lol

Hi Barry Baker,

Would you mind to tell us your idea on rubber tires and inserts combo for electric touring car? Like when should we use thinner or thicker insert? when should we use Firm or soft insert? I am pretty beginner on these so would love many advices..

On the Electric TC3, are you always using front batteries placement? If so, how much lead weight you put it on the car and where about it? On the servo or beside the motor? Just want some refrences.


Cheers
Dan

I'm not Barry (nor do I wish to be hehe) but here's an article written by "Cheater Dave":

Tires and Inserts 101

Barry, any idea on how to go fast in Japan with rubber tires on carpet? Better yet, do you know how to get to soapland?

Take care,
"Cheater Rod"

Hi Barry!


what setting do you have for the "battery capacity" at the quasar and how much mAh do you normally get in your batteries?

another question for the TC3...is a fan behind the motor recommendable?

Thx a lot

Greez,mc_rr
