Has anyone found a 1 piece foam for the stock Ofna Wheels and tires?
I despise that 2 part foam to the point where i think i have about 5 or 6 sets complete and unused. Would love to find a foam that works.
Ya, I hate that 2 piece foam also! I did find a work around....I avoid those tires now!

I did have a set of belted sweeps and one of the tires got torn to shreds so I mounted the ofna belted tread'ed tires on the sweep wheels and the hard blue center foams that's glued to the wheels and I can tell you the foams are a little small diameter wise so the out side edge of the tires wears down first, just a little bit but they work good for playing around in the streets. I have another set of non belted that came with my gtp2e and the foams came unglued inside 2 years ago, still haven't fixed them yet lol. But I did enjoy them on the street.

Monteman Watch this video on how to glue those foams:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGERus0LmJQ Leave Jang a thumbs up!

Yeah that's all I'm looking to burn all these up on. Just the street bashing. Don't like destroying my Sweeps on rocks and such

If you have a GoPro Hero 3 check out this external mic mod I did. This should make my speed run videos sound better with the gopro in it's case. Check it out.

I believe this is the esc that comes with the Gt-v2e
http://www.skyrc.com/index.php?route...&product_id=20
I put the rtr setup in the gtp2e and im trying to figure out for sure if the esc will handle 5s? Anybody try more than 4 cells on it ?

Anyway I took the gtp2e for a spin and it feels like a toy in comparison to the gt-v2e so I'm going to make a rally/drift car out of it. Need more power!

I'm not sure but I think the hero hd does have a mic jack on the side where on the hero 3 you need a usb adaptor. If not then the mic jack is on the older lcd backpac. The hero 3 black is the only gopro I've owned so I dont know much. I've been playing around trying to get better youtube video quality but so far I can't match any of the official gopro channel video quality. I'm like what are they encoding with because I know if you do a direct upload regardless of resolution or frame rate or sunlight the official gopro channel videos look amazing and way better than mine.

Thumbs up

Just ordered a Mamba XL2, now I need to figure out if I'm going to build a GTV2e, GTP2e or just convert one of my IGT's.

Can't wait to join you guys having fun running 100+ mph!

I also have this BMT, 325mm wheelbase, a super size 1/8 on-road chassis.

Can only be legally track raced in Italy, Spain or Venezuela, so it’s a shelf display and a bunch of replacement parts in a box doing nothing here. It’s a pretty amazing piece of engineering.

Been thinking I could put the single speed back in it, a new upper deck for electronics and adding some battery tray wings to it. Could be fun too.
