Default Holes in Tires

Hi,
I bought the hole puncher for the tires, wondering of the 6 sizes available, which size are you guys using and 1 hole or 2 holes 180 degrees of each other? Thanks!

I'll let you borrow one of mine any time your up in PHX. I'll warn you now they're fast, strong and very likable, cool as the back side of your pillow when you compare cost with their competitors

I use the second or third from smallest - should be around 4mm and I put the holes either 180* apart or 120* depending on the size of the tire.

I run Savox in 3 cars and a Solar in one car. To be honest I cant really see a difference. I did try the D772 for 8th scale and they only lasted 1 heat,lol. But the D771 for 1/10 is money.

BTW WC Tekin is made in China right down the street from the rest of them. They might do some minimal assembly here but its as Chinese as a fortune cookie.

Hideeho
Fortune cookies are a British invention but your right about everything else.

Edit:I knew some one would call me on this, so I went to find some info to back up my claim. I had heard that a British entrepreneur had come up with the idea while in Japan. I couldn't find reference to the British connection, but I can find info that they did originate from Japan, discounting both the Japanese & Chinese immigrants who claimed to have invented them in either Las Angles or Sanfrancisco.

... and AE is owned in Taiwan but made in China no? Good gawd this is not a hobby to be in if you only buy 'American'. My wheel nuts (not AE) might actually be American.

What's the most subtle way to loosen up the rear? I'm thinking shorter link, one in on the rear hub tower? Or is lowering the inner ball stud a smaller change?

Lowering the inside Ball stud is a more subtle change... Try that first!

To be competitive on a large scale you have to, everyone here believes their time is worth 50 bucks and hour.

What is truly funny is people who scream about buying American and look down at people who don't but then allow themselves to be swayed when the price is right.....
