Thank's for the tip arch, I'll have to try that next time I get another chassis. And you'll love the PN tires, they fill the wheels completely as they should have been done in the first place!
Also, keep an eye out for PN's aluminum wheels! They have shown me CAD drawings of designs that they are going to produce for the Dnano and the drawings look great! Can't wait to see the real production.
I should be getting my Aluma-Tech wheels in the mail anytime this week. Had some special ones made for the Countach!

still have not bought any tire options as i have not been able to get to hobby town recently.
i have been racing this on rcp however and the stock tires on a 50cm track are not bad with soo much space to move around on.

Hey Arch, Are you guys finally dug out of the snow. That Motul Z looks awesome with those rims. I have been trying to decide between that , the DBR9, or the 962. Have you tried the Motul Z on RealTtracks yet. I am curious how it handles out of the box on it. For quick and basic tire testing at home I have been just throwing down a quick oval consisting of (4) straights and (4) 90 degree turns followed by a quick wipe down with a cloth towel and windex or simple green. It takes less than 60 seconds to set up and only takes up 4’x8’ worth of space. I sometimes just add 2 more turns for a 6'x8' L for better data. If you get a chance, let me know how it does.
Take care,
|

i'll have to pick up some simple green. i haven't bought any in years. that tip was old hate news with mini-z's however most stores banned it's use on their tracks for whatever reason so i haven't used it in ages.
here is my track workstation. the computer system to the right is my personal use and to the left is for track/rc racing.
