Are you gluing the insert to the tire or the wheel?
08-22-2017, 06:02 PM
I don't glue it to either. I simply glue the insert ends together, with 3M 77 spray adhesive on the insert ends, wait 5-10 minutes and attach them. Then I stuff the insert into the tire, and install on the rim. Glue the tire to the rim.
I've tried a variety of adhesives to glue the inserts together and the 3M 77 spray adhesive, applied sparingly, doesn't leave a hard joint 'bump' where the ends join together. Other methods/glues such as CA leave a hard joint. Which you can feel through the tire.
Hope this helps,
Mark

Ride height of 3mm-5mm, depending on how bumpy. Gear ratio of 3.0 for 21.5 or numerically lower for 25.5.

I am sorry I posted the pic. I see the body differently apparently than everyone else. Of course I have it in front of me and not just a phone pic of one angle. I see old designs, new designs and honestly I see an F1 body, albeit a mixture of about 3 decades of F1. If you all know me I am more interested in the late 80s and early 90s bodies. I see some of that in this one. I also see some of the present lines. Sorry

Hello F1 Lovers
In Fenix we've a new front wing available.
Made from sturdy ABS plastic and coming in black or white colour the wings also include additional flaps to fine-tune the aerodynamics. The wings can be run without the high nose support with the white one being dyeable using fabric dye.

Brooksy,
Maybe 2.7 or 2.8 for tighter tracks, 2.5 for longer and faster tracks.
