Hey Guys,

First off Sorry for the delayed response but I have been down for most of 3 weeks with covid. Also my laptop is still screwed up, so I leave it hooked up on the track, and I have a hard time with rctech on my phone (i'm not that phone savvy).

To answer your question, there was never a hard rule either way on tape. I really never considered it as I was worried about the sticky residue left on the walls since we move our tracks around so much. BUT after a close look at my walls after a few years of my wall banging, I've reconsidered it, and ordered a roll! After a bunch of searching and reading and seeing the large tracks using it in pics from all over the world, I understand most use it to save their walls, with the added benifit of them not being soo snaggy.

So until I'm told otherwise, meaning I missed it somewhere, I'm fine if ya want to tape ur walls.

I'm going to start with the corners, as I always see tiny red foam chunks in my bodies and on my chassis after a run. Then in a few key areas I am wearing the walls down. We'll see if the red and white striped tape screws with my eyes too much!!

Have Fun!!!
