Of the 3 different brands which starts out the biggest diameter? Running outdoors I can afford to start tires bigger than on carpet

I think the Tamiya rears are pretty close to a yellow (according to those that know more than me) - I've tried Jaco Pinks before but not on this surface.

Works extremely well on medium-high bite tracks. Generates more traction while at the same time making the car faster and easier to drive.

Features: Anodized Black plate milled down front arms pockets .50 so you can run smaller tires.

•Optimized cutouts for dynamic flex
•Optional holes for direct servo mount to chassis
•15g heavier than standard XRAY carbon chassis
•Lower center-of-gravity

Call Walter RC Hobby. (02) 9632 8733

Ask for Jay, The Z compound is normally a too order item as they are not cheap.

I have placed and order for the NSW titles and ULTI will be shipping them this week (i believe). They should arrive end of this week or early next week.

Trust me on low grip asphalt or painted fake asphalt nothing compares.

One essential tool would be the right size wrench for your steering turnbuckle/tie rods.

Jay from Walter RC got some Z softs in for my son. Great service from Jay.
Ran them at the Victorian State titles over the weekend with geat results.
When the track was sugar sprayed the night before, had to glue the front JH and trued 2mm off to stop traction rolling. During the finals, ran the tyres straight out of the packet.

Yes, it will be released end of May or early June. Just in time for the JMRCA 1/12th Nats.

I've heard the rear pod is a bit of a pain to build and set square.
