The tape restored the profile of the foam and got rid of some of the air space created after the insert has been worn down a bit ..


Try it ...
Works great & saves you $ reusing the insert one more time ...
Good tip! Thanks george.

So it's true fast guys make each other fast. Kinda crazy at the Reedy race out of 109 racers in the 2wd open class.

Joe P. from Portland Qual. spot 8th with a 30 lap 10:26
Andy D. from Portland Qual spot 9th with a 30 lap 10:28.3
Mike S. from Tacoma Qual spot 10th with a 30 lap 10:28.4
Luke S. from Tacoma Qual spot 16th with a 30 lap 10:29


All I can say is WOW! what are the chances of that.

Schoettler just won the 2wd B main and bumped into the A! Luke trailed in third for most of the race, squeezed by Hicks and finishes second with a bump to the A main as well! TRCR tearing it up at the Reedy!

I just got the word from JIM. Portland will open up at 8am for practice on Friday and close at 8pm. No Friday club race.

I'm going to open up the spec tire for the rest of the series. Due to JConcepts not having the tire in stock. Portland has the bar codes on back order.

Portland's #1 tire choice is Losi BK bar pinks and pink fronts. The second choice is AKA rebars for buggy. SC best tire is AKA.

Thanks for understanding.
