well after adding a 3rd cell and the 62 k motor i couldnt even control my car, so i went to my LHS and picked up some foam tires, i took my solering iron and melted the inner part of the rims down so the foams would fit, wow this car is super fast now that i can actually stay in straight line long enough to see it go.

ive thought of using those,
but when i think "foam" i think of "sponge" and when i think of sponge i think of "SpongeBob"...and the idea is ruined u see :D

hows the traction on smooth tile? or concrete?

thats funny, im not going to try concrete, but on tile it works great, hey MTL, i got a question for you, do u know if there are proportional auldeys, i heard once that using the pistol controller makes the steering proportional, i dont see how thats possible but it would be very cool

its been asked alot recently, but on the asian forum, they say it doesnt have proportional steering.....its just an alternative to the button style controller.
actually its like the Kyosho palm runners, even though its spawned off of the MiniZ line, its the more affordable racer

i play on concrete all the time...i have a large back yard area where there is super flat concrete, im not sure what u call it...
i usually set up some cones and such from the ZZ set :D

im actually looking for some tires that are between grip and slicks...somthing that will oversteer a little more than normal, but not bust a donut like slicks....i cant go in a straight line with slicks, and i cant turn sharp with grips.. ;/
