Hello,
To eliminate possible ambiguities on this topic, may I request to get a final objective interpretation on #7 of the Tires TCS rule:
"It is not permitted to apply super glue on the horizontal surface of the tire to alter
traction characteristics."
If my understanding is correct, "horizontal surface" pertains to the part of the tire that touches the ground, i.e., the part of the tire with treads. Therefore, supergluing sidewalls by any amount, is legal, for as long as it does not "overflow" to the treaded part of the tire.
Is this correct?
Thank you! =)

I've put the D11 side pieces back on my F104 Pro and mounted the electronics on them. Now my square shorty pack won't fit in there, because it's designed for a round pack. I've got it slanted to one side and taped in place for now. It's a really tight fit to mount the body now, but it's all together. Anybody else having trouble with this?

I ended up using an smc low profile shorty pack to get it to fit and used battery foam to take up the rest of the space.

What you stated is correct. However...... at the 2018 TCS race at TQ RC Racing (indoor track with black CRC carpet), it was decided by TCS staff to allow gluing onto the top "treaded" section otherwise the Euro trucks would traction roll everywhere. If the TCS race you plan to run is indoor black carpet, I would suggest you contact the track to see what will be allowed.

I don’t think they should allow it onto the tread. Horizontal surface only. I can tell you first hand it is not necessary on black carpet...it just takes the right lines and setup. (Yes I know not much can be changed)...not trying to start anything but it absolutely can be done without glueing the tread.

Ok for euro truck what is the legal battery for this class. Is it only the reedy or peak or is it any round pack that is legal. Only asking cause I only see the reedy pack and peak pack being run and I already have a turnigy pack that is pretty much the same specs.
