Getting Started with R/C Cars and Trucks
Tires
The right tire and wheel are the
most critical components to a good handling race car. See what tires are
working at the track where you will race, and keep a fresh set for that
A-Main win! World champion racers always say that when they are tuning a car
for a new track or track conditions, they always start with the tires. Once
you've selected a tire, a nice set of wheels can really set off the looks of
your ride. Look to HPI and RPM for some awesome chrome wheels that work very
well and look even better.
Top drivers never put a tire on
their car that hasn't been balanced. Balancing tires not only makes the
car's suspension work smoother and easier, it also reduces friction by
combating the effects of vibration and centrifugal force where the rubber
meets the road, making the car feel lighter. Dubro's Prop Balancer for
on-road tires or Trinity's 6063 Balancer for off-road tires work great (all
accessories mentioned are available at DarnCoolStuff.com on request).
