Tried them with no luck. They worked great for a night or 2. The AKA will last me 2 sets of tires. Red soft are what I use.

To all of you arguing about front inserts.

Is it that hard to comprehend that different inserts work best for different tracks? High bite tracks will require an insert that is more firm. Lower bite tracks will require a softer insert. Think of it like air pressure in a real car tire. On pavement (high bite) you want more air pressure than if you were driving in sand (low bite, soft inserts). Remember, different tracks require different combinations to get the most out of your car. Why do you think there are so many tread patterns, rubber compounds, and inserts?

Its not an argument but great you ruined it for us all now. We will from now on have to get the low down on track size dirt compound and dirt temp wet dry dusty sandy clay black dirt and on and on.

And we will still not be able to help one soul. And not only that we don't know how one person drives what there set up is and if they even know how to put holes in the tire or wheel one or both. Uhg!

To bad...... I guess from now on I will just say walk up to the fastest racer at the track and run what he runs.....

At our track the stock work but with the JC Ripps and that's it. Super soft. I prefer the form fit of the optional inserts over the stock ones. But thanks for rubbing that in......

Default Team orion carbon pro

I know the preferred battery is a shorty pack butt.. I have two different Team Orion carbon pro batteries I wanted to use for stock class. They are really tight under carbon strap bends the hold down. I also have a couple reedy batteries that are same height. Is there a different battery hold down or does nobody use these two batteries.My Gens ace fits fine butt would rather use these other packs.

are you running the 4.1 stock tower or the carbon tower? some batteries wont fit under the carbon tower, because it was not upgraded for lipos. if your talking about the front thump/twist screws. all batteries are not the same height. some have thicker cases, some of the higher mah packs are a little taller. if you want to run your carbons, adjust the twist screws for the carbons and run those.

No help but I see you have a B44.1. I am running my reedy 5200 saddles in my B4.1. Makes it cheaper and easier to run both kits. And it gives more weight transfer options. Just thought I would mention it.

I switched to the graphite tower after I broke the stock one. Yes its tight under the tower. I see about adjusting thumb screws it was under the tower where the problem is. So all I need to do is go back to the other tower? Thanks for the help. At least I got the thread off the tire talk. lol
