2S with 25.5T would likely be geared close to a 1S 13.5T, between 70-80mm.

Friend asked why his front tire on sxt 3.0 max, running counter clockwise in his track (black carpet) would end up having sticky glue on the outer side, this happened after someone used the LRP carpet tire sauce. He said his car was having so much understeer after laps.
He had to use cleaner to remove the glue every run before saucing for the next run and the glue was on again,.....

Anyone had such experience?

This is why I full sauce my front tires. Prevents buildup.

This looks very much like what happens when you run outside the line on a layout with a lot of laps on it. For some reason the dry portion of the tire just picks up all the grime and crumbs and the car will start pushing.

There’s not really a way to “fix” that other than full sauce to avoid buildup.

You can sauce normally -- let sit -- and then full sauce and wipe off. This will prevent build up with out saucing fronts full for extended time.

friend said before someone using the LRP non sxt, mr33 black carpet,...., their tires are just like this. they never have such issues so far,.......
i was just wondering how were the tires of those guys? were they also the same, building up glue? kind of irritating

even i ran most of the quickest racing line (can tell that those guys are not which in turn the non racing line was stained) other than my friend to stay away that, it still affects me. i still got some,.....holy moly

So you know how a few weeks back they had the Vintage Off-road Nationals? Well... when is the Vintage Pan Car Nationals, dammit!




Yeah it's a work in progress, I don't even have any batteries. It's a CRC chassis that someone combined with a Trinity Black Widow pod and had for sale (in pieces) on eBay.

If you can't go fast, you can still look good.

It would be so cool to find some old matched NiMh or NiCad cells for that!

16,000mah worth there.
Imagine the run time, it's ready for at least a half hour enduro.

You can still get NiMH cells, maybe not matched packs but 4600s are available as loose cells through A-Main and probably others.

Exactly what I was going to do a long time ago with mine, thank you.
