RC10B4.1 FT/WC

I am on Losi Springs And like them.
And I will Have that Avid Servo saver soon..
Cut off the TC tire sidewalls at the belt edge, scuff both the TC tire rubber and buggy rim with a scotchbrite pad and wash with Dawn dish detergent. Apply the rubber cement, center the TC tire on the buggy rim, let dry and then finish the buggy insert and tire install.
You can also move the TC tire "band" closer to the outer edge of the rim during gluing which seems to add more sidebite. The further inward its mounted seems to make a ball diff feel tighter through a corner than its adjusted.
The insert/tire/rim air gap directly affects traction... but offroad tires dont have belts like TC tires so traction is lost with carcass stretch. Ive tried belting offroad tires before... its a completely different animal. Not better... just different (and very hard to tune for bumpy/loose tracks). I used "muffler tape"... which is basically thin fiberglas mat, and used rubber cement for adhesion.
Hey guys, I'm getting my new B4.1 ready for our offroad season to start here in a couple weeks. I need a setup recommendation. I've got the +8 chassis, shorty lipo, avid rack, BB parts are on order (not sure if they will be here in time). I am NOT running on a super high bite smooth clay track though. It will be a med bite dirt clay mix. Tires of choice will probably be double dee's or even subcultures (for SC). The track will probably start out fairly smooth but there are going to be a lot of 1/8th scales running on it as well. So its going to get some ruts before we are done.
Any recommendations?
Thanks!
