foam tires
We run foam 19-turn TC on a sugared asphalt track. Many run Nitro Shoes Rears on all four corners. The Nitro fronts are made of a harder different type of rubber. Electric TC don’t have the weight to make them work and need more steering than nitro cars so you may want to try rears all around. You’ll likely have to narrow the rims as they are 30 mm wide. I cut mine 28 mm wide on my tire lathe with an Exacto wearing a face shield and standing off to the side. I’ve run carpet foam tires on colder days but they tended to wear very rapidly on hot days. We'll see 120ºF track temperatures. I run 38 front /35 rear or 37/35. We run carpet set-ups on the cars with a slightly higher ride height (5.5 mm).
Great thread. I’ve also enjoyed the 1/10 pan car thread. My non-RC friends are always surprised at the level of engineering that goes into these cars.
