Here is some Empirical information don't sue if there are any errors. The hardness of materials is most commonly measured by the Shore Durometer test. This method measures the resistance of foam toward indentation and provides a hardness value. A Shore Durometer is the international standard for measuring the hardness of materials. The symbol for shore coincides with that of degrees. In reference to foam tires, the lower the shore rating, the softer the tire is thus yielding more traction. The higher the shore rating, the firmer the tire is thus yielding less rolling resistance and more speed. =================================== Jaco.. 30-Pink 30-Yellow 35-Double Pink 40-Purple 45-Double Purple 40/50-Orange/Purple 35/45-Double Pink/Orange <P class=catdesc>1/12th Tire Guide This is a quick reference list for tire durometers and applications for any 1/12th car Black - 40S: Special tire for insane traction carpet tracks. Does not get gummy like Purple. If you don't have insane traction you car will push with these. Purple - 40S: Good for medium bite conditions in stock racing. This compound is getting popular again because of Jack the Gripper traction compound. With Jack Purples do not get too sticky. Lilac - 37S: Great front tire for stock carpet or if dbl. pink is too much steering. Double Pink - 35S: This is the standard front tire for carpet in all classes. Its is used front and rear for 19T and Mod carpet and front and rear in all classes on asphalt. Grey - 35S: This is a low natural rubber compound. It is just as hard as dbl. pink but it had FAR LESS traction. It is used to free up the rear of stock powered carpet cars for more efficiency and corner speed. This is the old standard rear carpet tire, most stock carpet racers use the softer yellow compound now for more forward grip. Magenta - 32S: Its softer than dbl pink so if you need more steering than dbl. pink use these up front. If you need more rear traction than dbl. pink use these in the rear. Pink - 30S: This tire is used in mod 1/12th on carpet and asphalt if the traction is low. If the traction is high it will lock in the rear of the car and make it push. Yellow - 30S: This is a low natural rubber compound. It is the standard rear tire for Stock racing. It is used to free up the rear of stock powered carpet cars for more efficiency and corner speed. White - 25S: This is a low natural rubber compound. It was the standard rear tire for 1/10th on road carpet racing. Its a little softer than yellow.

Should be no problem with the voltage from your 5 cell pack that's the standard voltage for the servo. Does the throttle servo work ok? have you substituted the 3306 with the 'good servo' if so and the 'good servo' works with the same config then the fault appears to lie with the servo itself. are you using Futaba radio equpment? Can anyone else try the 3306 out for you?

Image below shows adaptor plate fitted, but your radio plate looks a different shape, with no 'lugs' to accomodate the fitting of the adaptor .

don't forget that all important KILL SWITCH on the 3rd channel it's so important to stop those runaways! Outerwears covers are useful too!

yeah got one here first petrol, really good 'til now 1st run stripped Futaba servo gears 2nd run spark plug failure 3rd run sheared output shaft from steering servo Hitec 805bb cheap easy fix

first run out with my Fg Baja, and less than half a tank the 3306 failed - gears ripped out - new Hitec 805b now running fine - 3306 binned!!

fitted Picoswitch & Ripmax failsafe feel more relaxed now

PicoSwitch only difference is that this one has plug in extention LED slightly longer LED wire.

gotta be heart breaking for that to happen hope you can repair and run again, scary what could happen may be worth membership of the BRCA (British Radio Car Association) which should give 3rd Party Insurance cover BRCA

Hi I have taken delivery of my FG Baja RTR. I also have purchased a Picoswitch and an Mtronics Failsafe my question, is there any good tutorials (accompanied with pics) of how to fit these so the relative newcomer to large scale can carry out the job without the hair pulling. will be using Futaba Megatech 3PM-FS with s3305 & s3306 servo's any tips or help would be appreciated. thanks in anticipation

yes but this links to ............Ramtech Wheel Adapters rather than Uber Uber is a lot less expensive though

had a similar problem with a Honda Lawnmower - turned out to be the spark plug - may be worth trying a know good one

oh yes i see now, just the component I listed is the actual one used on the Picoswitch but it's as you say "it's not what you do but the way that you do it that's what gets results"

same mixing bottle here but less expensive

Just got my PicoSwitch today (the blue led version) the main component is an Omron Relay retailing at about

Link For Wheel Adaptors pricy though at 69 euro anybody a wizard on the lathe?? could be a market!

thanks for the input in general where would be the best places to look for those less expensive tyres

Hey guys thanks for a rapid reply to an uber novice, i will look further to your suggestions Picoswitch arrived today
