gigeogre Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Am after the stickiest tires for tarmac as my 5.5 turn motor just seems to spin the beast up at 1/2 throttle, you've gotta be uber careful with the throttle or it can flip over under acceleration.. Its quite mad.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamb0 Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 and if the tyres were stickier, surely there would be more chance of the car flipping over as they would have much higher grip? Also you could try tightening your slipper clutch to give more controlled throttle responce. Or just simply use a smaller lipo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen mark Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 try a 8.5 turn motor,you need to be on carpet{and use addatives on there tyres} to get the best use out of a 5.5t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si Coe Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Touring cars don't get slipper clutches. Banned or something like that so not made for them. Some models have a related buggy so you can fit the one from that but the majority don't. New motor - 50, tires 20...ISH? False economy!. Grip = wear so sticky tyres don't last long. Super soft racing tyres can be shot in a single 5 min run, which means you'll wear out a lot of sets of tyres taming your motor! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
