1/12 forum
I think the Enetti foam tires are pretty similar to the pink/magenta/doublepink family of most others. 30 would likely be a pink, and 35 is something like a double pink.
My favorite tire combos for grey carpet are usually JFT S35 front and Rear, JFT S35 Front / S30 Rear for more overall steering.
Ulti has some good offering that I have run in the past as well. X-Medium all around or G-Medium are good.

Hi guys,
How many batteries (literally the number of different LiPo's) do you use on a day of racing?
I usually have 2 that I drive but a friend of mine drives only 1 all day long to keep performance up.
Is that a wise or safe thing to do?
I dont drive that often anymore and buying 1 new pack is cheaper than 2
Thx

Treating them the way stock drivers do will result in that poorer performance happening sooner.
It all depends on how long your batteries last and how much you're prepared to spend.
I normally run/own two packs at a time.
More laps doesn't necessarily mean it needs to slow down... Maybe the cars are handling better and consistency is about as good as it will get. Maybe the layout is contributing as well..
Older 17.5's made 1/12th scale too slow IMO, and it's a problem when you can practically keep the throttle pinned all the way around the track.
More than anything it looks like Knapp should be racing faster classes.

i went to liverc RC and looked at 3rd round overall qualifying. in 1/12th scale there is a 3-4 lap spread between each motor class Mod, 13.5. and 17.5. a huge difference of 7-8 between Mod and 17.5, so not seeing stock here as being to fast, in comparson to TC where you might have a point where classes are created on a whim.
there is a 1 lap separation between TC in order....MOD, 17.5, 21.5, USGT (21,5). there is a 6-7 lap spread between 25,5 TC AM and TC mod.
if you can't find a valid point or argument on what is occurring in TC with speed and lack of difference. then there is a valid argument to be made that 17.5 and 13.5 are actually to slow for stock and super stock 1/12th scale and a return to 13.5 stock may be warranted along with super stock 10.5 boost which is occurring in other countries.

Would personally like to see 17.5 "stock" remain and "Superstock" get faster: 10.5 or 10.5 boosted with open tire. There just doesn't seem to be enough difference in speed between 17.5 spec tire and 13.5 blinky open tire to justify having the two different classes IMO.

I second the motion. 10.5 as the "middle" class sound good to me.
