My onroad racer is ready

[Revracer]

ive never thought of husing honey as a compound... would it work well for tc racing and pan as well?

[snellemin]

Bee spit is amazing stuff that works for me. But I wouldn't know if it would work for TC an pan cars as it's a thin substance. Try it out and see if it works for you.

well running foams... i could always try soaking the tires and then letting them dry in the sun or do whatever your doing only to a much thicker level to make it last longer... how many launches do you get out of one treatment?

[snellemin]

I get one launch per "bee spit" treatment. After the run I clean the tires with water and reapply for the next run.

[Revracer]

hmm...this is also on a rwd car that is putting down a lot more power... how do apply it and how thick usually?

[snellemin]

I put two thin strips of bee spit down on a piece of lexan. Then I just roll the car rear tires on the strips several times untill it's coated evenly. Most of the time it's just a thin coat. Just do what works for you.

My Rustler uses a thicker coat then the 45oz camaro.

[Revracer]

hmm... i might have to try that out... just do that about 10 times... i probably dont launch as hard as you off the line or ever really, but i do turn a lot harder then you... haha

I went back to 48P gearing, and will run 4S. Refoamed and trued the TM nitro wheels. Gonna need all the traction I can get. Wheeliebar should work better now, with all the ballbearings as wheels and enough flex to keep the rear tires planted at launch. Motor choice is a Lehner Basic 5300. Previous motor was a 9T hacker C40.

Should be a fun car throughout the year.

In this vid you see the old setup in action. It's in the middle of the vid and it was taken by Sunnyhoutx. That was with the 9T hacker and 3s A123.

That nitro takes off quicker than I thought it would. lol, the tyre didn't last long
