bertberr Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Been using the Blitz quite a bit recently on concrete / tarmac, and I'm finding it near impossible to keep it in a straight line under hard acceleration, and this is in the dry... Admittedly this is using various different off-road tyres though I did just try some (old) road tyres/wheels from my 1/8 buggies, on 12-17mm adapters, and they were just as bad. I'm not referring to spinning out in turns (it does do this too), but more when you pin it from a standstill, or even a rolling start, just no traction? I've softened the rear end a bit, and put in the 3 degree rear toe block, but not much better, reckon its got to be the tyres. But which ones to go for? Must be SCT fit i.e. 2.2/3.0. Truck is running a Mamba Max Pro with a Hobbywing 3656 4 pole 4700kv can on 2S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpowell911 Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I just think whatever you do, a brushless Short Course truck on concrete is always going to be pretty frustrating to drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorrylemming Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Probably some drag racing rear tyres? Have you done any other setup like the rear links and diff? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/proline-hoosier-drag-slick-sc-22-30-s3-soft-sc-rear-tyres-2--444756 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No brains Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Look at the duratrax bandito/louise rocket tires, very good tires for onroad, I had them on my serpent sct driving on dusty parking lots, and tarmac, the tires have a lot of grip an last a long time do not wear quick, and I just had to be gently on the trigger because of wheelies so no lack of grip. https://www.louiserc.eu/Pick-by-Car/ASSOCIATED/SC10/Louise-RC-SC-ROCKET-1-10-Short-Course-Tire-Set-Mounted-Soft-Black-Wheels-Asso-SC10-4X4-L-T3154SBAA/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
