So what's the preferred tire sauce for protoform tires and running on medium grip asphalt?

I got my Gravity RC VTA motor and tires today. New Savox low profile servo arriving today as well. The TC3 is coming along nicely.

Do you have a spur gear that will get you to the FDR needed for VTA? Seems they are hard to find last time I ran a TC4.

So I have the opportunity to get a very clean 2014 xray t4 set up for vta. Is this a good car with available parts? It's really old.

T4s were produced over a long period and were very popular so some parts will still be available. But a 2014 version is quite old, so maybe you'll not be able to find all the parts.

I ordered the yeah racing setup station to get my tc3 all tuned up.

She's coming together quickly.

I weighed the Gravity pre-mounted vta tires and they were almost perfect.

Is it important to balance these tires? If so.....best method.
