so what rubber tires do i need?
:confused:
ProLine's Stryker II are the best choice. I'd go with the Trinity Bomb 1 inserts. I usually skip on doping tires, but this year I'm gonna try the Much More Blue Sap and Trinity's Deathgrip and see what they do.

Foams are for Pan Cars... :cool:

Hobby expo at Riders Hobby Shop October 11, 2008
I'm looking or a few people that would be willing to come out and demonstrate, by this I mean run your stuff around the parking lot. Trucks, Slashes, buggies and cars. This would be a great way to help promote the hobby and perhaps get new people involved. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Show of hands please.
Thanks,
Fred.

Am I competitive any longer...

Heya guys, been a few years since I have been hit with the RC Bug. I want to race stock/rubber, and wanted to know if you guys thought my setup would work still.

TC3
Epic or Trinity stock motor.... think 3-4 years ago.
3300Mah nmh & 2400mah ni-cads - matched, but years ago.

Also,

Planning on getting out there for practice, is there DC power as my power supply is dead.

Thanks in advance!

Brushless system - debating "stock" or "mod"
Foam Tires
Lipo Packs
I have the T3... should I replace with next gen?
Charging system for lipo's - unless quasar pro can do this.

Thanks in advance for any input ya'll might be able to give

Dave,
Unfortunately it was a lite turnout, Mostly do to the warm weather I suspect.

***This Sunday will be our first oval race of the season***
Some of you truck guys should give it a try, its a blast on carpet.
Lots of grip, makes for tight racing.

Just a small piece of lexan rapped over the shock tower and fastened where the shock mounts to protect the carpet if you flip over.
