But your tire cannot go bigger than 63mm, very close to hit the axles when you press down the car.

Servos do keep a lot of the water out but after a short time the o-rings wear. I personlly advice people here to use a silcone seal on the servo case at all the joints for extra precaution (we get a lot of rain here in the UK - never had radio problems in 10yrs).

Once the leads are in I normally run somemore down in the from the outside of the receiver.

Palmaris, and how do you manage the frequency changing ?
But in saying that changing crystals here is a real nightmare. Everyone runs 2 balloons and the Servos on most cars are strapped to the receiver mount by lots of insulation tape. Takes a good 5-10minutes to change frequencies over here. But its better than changing receivers every other week due to water (which we see a lot of
).

tyre sizes
hi, can someone tell me what is the effect of using larger tyres in the front than in the rear (overdrive vrs underdrive?)
I was quickly ready an artice on RCx Mag, and it talked about the drive train radio? I guess people play with that stuff . or not? (by changing the pulleys and tyre size?)

I used the flourecent Orange, as when it is backed with Silver it tones down the colour. Also I used a Blue Sunstripe on the windscreen just to finish off the Serpent/Dutch colours - looks really good.
