With out the "retailers" we couldn't talk about how our cars run because we wouldn't have them. If I choose to talk about Sam and his GREAT service for helping me with my racing career or racing enjoyment, then I will. If people don't like it then just kiss my ass. We are all here to help each other, and this is just another form of help. I've heard too many people ask if company X is a good source to purchase from. So yes this info is VERY relevant, and by the way...SAM you do kick ASS with RACEDAY HOBBIES!!!!!!!!!!

Hey this Italian boy will say Merry Christmas all he wants !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your support, I understand what Patto was trying to say, but a dealer hearing nice words about him and his company is never a bad thing However this forum is about the G4S so I understand.
Gosh looked at my last post and obviously trying to take an order over the phone and writing a post is something this old boy can't do anymore!
Tires and rims. If the rubber is GRP then the rubber should be of good and consistent quality. I find that rims make a difference in how firm they are. Some rims are so weak they will break on a glancing blow. This also means they will bend when that cars turns off that straight and other fast turns. I always like a firm rim like the Serpent Jaco and any others of that quality. I like GQ's because their rim is one step above. The rim is really solid and excellent on high traction tracks. The other difference is how well they are glued. Perimeter gluing only for on roads will get the tire chunking and not feel consistent. Full wheel gluing to me is the best. I believe most or all 1/8th tires are fully glued. I think 1.10th should be the same.
Once again my 2 cents
Maybe I better finance that car!!!! LOL That is a very cool offer by the way!
And yes Patto, look who sponsors you dude!!!! LOL
It is all good everyday!!!

Yeah sick man, my Hyper 10 if ya click the link in my signature its my drift car purley for that!!!!
I thought if i am going to get a circuit racer, why not go for GOLD
Just a quick question:
What offset rims and tyres suit best for the TMG4S
Front?
Rear?
there are so many wheels to choose from, and they got that many numbers of differant types - just dont want to purchase the wrong set!
Cheers

the car takes 0 off set rims front and rear. tire or brand choice is a personal matter, but jaco wether it be on jaco rims or serpent rims are a good choice as well. good wear and life, with the grip. the serpent rim is stronger, i have used GRP and Kawahara's and the jacos seem to have the better wear to grip ratio, but everyone has their own favourites
