  1. High grip/soft compound tires normally dont last very long on asphalt. I used to finish 3 sets of tires per day 🙈 (before my wife got ******). Now for asphalt bashing am pusing hard compound radial tires (rubber drift tires). They are about $4 a set in my country.
  2. Am using rally block tires for dirt and clay, pirelli replica tires for tarmac and sand, and other different tires for different surfaces. I personally think the stock ones are very solid & last the longest. They are also excellent for carpet and concrete surfaces. Did you run it on asphalt?
  3. Its the round thing that holds the top end of the steering knuckle. I have seen people lost them (mine too 😂) so better to buy the locked rod ends (most important ones are the knuckle tops and tie rods)
  4. Wow, rather expensive.. Perhaps also a friendly reminder to everyone here to always mount the body above the foam bumper 😂😂
  5. Not sure about over there, but here in my country they have partner shops. Maybe you can email them & ask. Material is pretty thick & comes with mirrors & light buckets. The downside is perhaps the stickers dont stick that well
  6. Am using 55wt for shocks, replaced the stock springs to 1.1mm, front diff 20,000 cst, rear diff 15,000 cst. When you get one, make sure you upgrade the rod end first, I would say its a must 😃
  7. They are team C bodies.. you can check them out from https://www.teamcracing.net tamiya clone & pretty cheap too.. (about $20) 😃🙏
  8. Drilled a hole in the knuckles, helped a lot in tighter turns & improved ackerman 😃
  9. Just wanna show some pics running different body.. this PTG2 handles very well 😃 however I would still say XV01 drives more realistic
  10. Hey buddy, great stuff and looks thrilling.. how did you deal with the longer wheelbase? Did you manage to get the 257 body? Thanks
