I’ve ran my Tamiya Euro truck for 5 weeks and everything looks good wear and tear wise. I would say I will probably be able to go another 10 weeks before having to change front tires and maybe the motor. I have about 25 - 4 to 8 minutes runs in the 5 weeks I have raced.

After being away for nearly a year, the biggest tip in this class that helped me was that you have to coat the front tire sidewalls with CA glue. We run on black carpet with high grip and it’s the best way to prevent the truck from traction rolling. Outside of that, keep up with normal maintenance, keep it clean, stay off the barriers, other trucks on the track and you’ve got yourself a recipe for fun and maybe an occasional podium or win.


5th week after about 25 - 4 to 8 minute runs…
