Well, I had tire issues on 3s...............here's the tires:pow:
These ar the Tamiya Type-A Reinforced Slicks (belted):o:
and here's the carnage on the body that resulted from that failure:confused:
This is the HPI B15-40 Belted X-Pattern Mini Tire that blew:o:
and this is the reinforcement belt that the tire ripped off of at speed:eek:
I was going to throw these 24mm Sedan rubbers on there, since they "fit":crazy:
although they do look a little DONKish
Then I spotted these on the shelf at work
They're and old pair of Parma 28mm Indego foams (which are also disco'd) and will make a nice size tire (right between the Mini and Sedan tires, plus wider then all of them!) to use on the front of the car with the above 24mm Rubber tires on the back
I also made the debris shields for the battery too, I'm going to velcro them, but they're held in place with the body and rubber bands right now
