Mounted some new running shoes courtesy of Proline and JC Racing. :mrgreen:
Now, the car traction rolls even on dry powder. I probably would prefer a little less traction.
Wow, I didn't think I'd ever say that. :|

It's loads of fun anyway. :D

Does the dirt have to be on the RC vehicle? Or is it ok if the vehicle is on the dirt.

Thanks.

Actually, they're Hole Shots. I don't recall but I think they are medium compound - I'm not certain about that. I've had them in a box of tires for a while and they were unpackaged.

The tires I had been running were by Kyosho and were similar tread pattern to Blockades. They allowed the car to be a bit more free which is how I prefer 4wd buggies.
Anyway, I'm learning to drive the car with more traction so it's all good. :D

This is my favourite picture of any of my cars. Although what it doesn't show is the car fighting me all day . I just couldn't get it to handle right but at least it looked cool.

If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.
A problem shared is a problem halved but an advantage shared is no advantage at all.

It is quite subtle until you look up close.

A little wet lots of grass, leaves, and dirt inside it.

I'm glad that I got the extra thick body. This thing spends as much time on its lid as it does running. A narrow SC track width, high center of gravity, and grabby tires don't go well together.
