Default tire wear

Originally posted by Seisick
heres a tricky one. IŽd like a couple suggestions on how to obtain even wear on untrued foams using one way and stock belts. for instance. 35 front 40 rear, etc etc
here are the issues. I do not have access to a tire truer, prices of foam here are about 39 a set. I do have the kawahara conversion but puts too much stress on the front and side pulleys and the belt is low friction but with low life. and finally, I suppose that If I use front diff the wear will be even now right.? suggestions appreciated!
You will never get a fast set up that has perfectly even tire wear.It just doesnt work like that.
Where do you live? You can get great tires at a low price here in the states. WWW.RCTexas.com This guy also carrys a low cost pretty descent tire truer,made by G.Q.
As far as the pullys, I have always used the stock ones.Do you run on a permanant track or a Car Parking lot?
