Gamb!t Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 As the title really.... just wondering whos running on road, and where about are people from?? also, ive tore through 3 sets of tires over the last 3/4 month's.... 2 onroad drift sets and one set of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/260613972830?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 the above lasted the longest, but did require me to modify one of my shells in order to get them on. due to the profile of the tyre. when buying tyres to last.... is there a particular compound thats stronger than others?? style or grip?? or is it all down driving style..... i ask as i have some new rims, just waiting for some new rubber... an am debating what to buy.... any suggestions welcome?? thanks, steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick_96297 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) No need mate he said he has already got a new set of rims, also all wheels have a different offset so he would have to check his before he bought a new set of wheels, doesn't matter if he is just buying tyres.

Gamb!t Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 im debating wether to buy some proper alloy wheels ... to match my chassis... - whats this talk of offset etc....??? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RC-1-10-PURPLE-TWIN-5-SPOKE-REAL-ALLOY-WHEELS-NITRO-BRUSHLESS-DRIFT-CAR-12MM-HEX-/330616740017?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item4cfa4b18b1 Shiney although as mentioned - i have about 4 sets of different rim's.... but per use they getting tattier and tattier.... gonna keep a set for scragging around with, and maybe keep a prestine show set @ mainie - electric tape over wheels = a bit of fun.... just dont over rev the engine for too long or you'll end up with a knackard clutch http://youtu.be/DQ2eSnwMtkw much more effective on a 1:10 scale however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick_96297 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) Wheel offset is the additional distance from the center of the wheel to the inside part of the wheel called the hex (the bit that attaches the wheel to the axel). If say you have a wheel which has has a 2mm wheel offset, the wheel would extend 2mm out from the cars body, so the car would be wider, if you wanted to make the car beefier then you would increase the offset. Just stick with zero offset and you will be fine as thats what your car uses, go buy them shiney purple wheels!!!
