IRC, Siress- Need bigger front rims

[Scar]

Hey My RR is just much for the front tires to get grip and makes WAY to big of turns. THe front tires with Foam tires are just sliding along LOL

Where can I get Bigger rims for both the front and BACK that will handle more foam??

[irc]

IM not sure about wider rims? Try to putting a little WD40 on a rag and wiping it on the front tires and towel the excess off. Let me know how much steering you have after you have tried this.

Hey IRC,

Ill try that but I dont want to have to do that every time I want to drive it??

Or is that like a once every 4 runs type thing?

[Siress]

lol, IRC!

You don't need more tire. there is a little thing on the radio about where your middle finger rests while griping the radio. it has a dial, kinda like a volume dial. This is your stearing adjuster. The more you want turn it up, the less, down. As for grip, what surface are you running on? For the most part and for most surfaces, use Zip-Free Foam Tire Traction. It makes the foam sticky. To apply it just gently touch the tire with the sponge head and remove, turn the tire and do it again, doing this to every tire until their coverd completely. BECAREFUL!!! this stuff will MELT your lexan body! eheh read the warning lable on it! lol, scary! If useing that stuff doesn't improve the grip for you, try softening the front suspention. To do this just cut 1/4 loop off of each spring on the front. Do this until your getting traction.

Good tips Siress, But the WD40 trick works well also. Most cars oversteer so you have a very uncommon problem. Like Siress says make sure your steering is turned up all the way. Also try to tighten your diff up some:D

[Siress]

:cool: IRC, something I like about you is that your very knoldgable and very happy":D "

:D

[Siress]

and hurry up and answer my thread in DRR

[Scar]

Cmon guys give me credit I tried the steering to up down the foam is just slipping on my tile..

Concrete it works great though. Even my SLICK concrete

Iam going to try the wd40 to see how it goes.

[irc]

Sorry Scar I assumed in my original post you had the steering turned up but just wanted to make sure. The WD40 may slide for a lap but then hook up. How did you mount the front tires? Tape or glue? What shore/ compound are the front and rears?

[Scar]

Hey IRC,

I glued them and there shore 40..

I just dont have the weight up front or its just pushing to hard.

Ill give you aupdate soon on the wd40 trick thanks bro!

[irc]

Cool, if that wont do it try some 30 shores up front.

[Siress]

oh...:D haha, the biggest reason of them all that just sliped my mind, lossen up the front suspention! take a spring out of a cheap pen and cut a fairly large piece and keep cutting about 1/4 turn until it doesn't spin out easily. Just mess around with it until you like it. For right turn oval tracks I put a softer spring on the right side of the fornt so that if it tilts in the corner (and it sometimes roles its so fast) it keeps better traction on the track.
