We run foams on our carpet track for traction. I've ordered a set of the new TRG rubber tires to try them. I'll report back after testing. They should be here in the next week or 2 from Dinball.
titianium bends. bad. much more easier to bend than a carbon is to break. you also need to look at the quality of the shaft. i have ben messing with \a TRG carbon rear shaft, and it has yet to break for several months. it has however expanded near where the grub screw screws in. i am afraid to drill it and mess with the intregrity of the carbon shaft.
a slight sanding would suffice to solve the expansion problem.
as far as bodies, i wrecked one pretty bad, it was the zen-rc (New Century F-1 Body “ZF02”) that fit my lipos pretty well also. it fit around the stock battery holder, whick was great!
anyone in tampa wanting to race? email or pm me!
