The new rim or the old one? The old one to me looks like the old HPI dish wheel. I used to get those because they looked the closest to the front wheel used on the Porsche 956/962.

I don't think a rubber tire can be made as effective on a pan car as foams. We used to make our own capped tires for F103s using Tamiya's cap rubber option for dusty surfaces. It helped a lot on dusty surfaces but never got the kind of traction you get with foams on a properly prepped surface, and not near enough traction to make it fun enough to drive to become popular. Personally I think pan cars in general are just too light for a rubber tire to work on a road course. Concrete oval is a different story entirely.

The T Fource isn't any different to wire than most t bar cars. I can post some pics for you but are you wiring a brushed or a brushless car?

Here's some shots of t bar cars I've done. Try to run your wires down the middle, they will have less influence on the rear pod movement (the closer the wires are to the roll center, the less they move) I didn't get any pics of the last T Fource I did, but it is wired pretty much identical to these. I might get a chance to take one of that car tomorrow, if so I will post it for you.

Hey Od,

How about any wiring jobs on CRC non t bar cars....Your wiring is always the best and very tidy....

odpurple 03-26-2007 11:31 PM

here's a bl GenX, I don't have any shots of the brushed CRC link cars I've done (it's been a while) How about a Rev4 or a Hara (same idea)

Thanks for the pic. Now I know what I'm looking for.
