I would say for the TCS races, they didn't run rubber at the carpet tracks because the tires picked up a lot of carpet fiber as they heated up. This lead to no grip at about 1 minute in.
Rubber seemed to be popular for asphalt.
Rubber tires that work properly on carpet would probably be popular. I know TQ in California carries them, but they are generally hard to get.

So far this year, everybody is running rubber. No foam to be seen and it is freezing outside. Where are all the foam guys? Up at Horsham? Come on out and play.

With the silver cans, I've seen a lot of 20 mph races. That's low speed work in my opinion, no where near the maxima.
I think the upcoming race in Texas will be all about speed as there are no motor limits in some classes. But the crashes will be huge at those speeds.

whoa! They ran F103 and F104 at the TCS race? I thought it all F104 in 2011. I'm trying to get enough F104's to come to the TCS at Coliseum to run both classes.

Fast? That brings up a good question: what's the average speed of the cars in races at your local track?

Most of the F1s with silvercans were gettin 27 to 28 mph, one of em (cough ) triggered some 31 mph laps.
Motor was legal, gearing is key.

why does tamiya say they are coming out with 4 new f104s and the show no picture?
im suprised they are coming out with 3 f104ws. the f104 sure does look way better than the 103. looks like the f104 is here to stay, even though they are coming out with another f103.
how is tamiya going to manage 3 diffirent chassis types in the upcoming tsc races?
