Status: offline 		What's up with the NTC3 tires and why do they suck so bad? I bought a set of the NTC3 tires from AE and ran them to the foam in one day at the track. I figured tire for a nitro car would last longer than that eh?

Thanks,
FT TC4 owner

Status: offline 		Those are cheap tires, I think that was the first part I ever changed along with the filter. I use them more as show tires than anything else. I guess it was a quick fit on to just ship out their car, mine didn't even come with inserts I think. Between me and you, I use GRP Arrows foam tires, 26mm on the front and 30mm on the back and trust me when I say the hook up ANYWHERE!!! I've been using them since the Caribbean R/C Championships in Barbados last June and I run every week and they are still good. No chipping up or anything signs of wear. Try 'em out.

I'll try out those tires when these go down.

Ya, I've noticed the foams are a bit stickier...

Loosen the motor mount enough to slide the motor to the spur, rip a small peice of paper and put it between the gears. Push the motor so that the gears mesh up with the paper in the gears. Tighten and then remove the paper. You should just have a small amount of free play, but not more than a needle could poke through. It shouldn't be completely tight meshed either or you have horrible binding issues.

It's more of a trial and error, but if you keep them close together and always keep an eye on them you'll be fine.

Status: offline 		lorfer i havent had any time to test them yet a friend gave me his ntc3 i had to get some tires and a few parts and a 2nd hand engine just to play around at home . but i think that it will accelerate faster this is what i did i sanded the 3 clutch shoes from the side that faces the pilot nut and added a piece of gasket paper for real cars inside the clutch bell so that it grips that instead of the metal.

Status: offline 		Hey guys,

I´d like to know how can I pull out my flywheel, I´ve bought a 3-shoes one but don´t know how to take out my old one. Those clutch springs that hold the shoes are too tight. Do I need a special tool to take it out?

And another question, what spur/pinion gear config do you guys recommend for a short track? I want more acceleration and less final speed.

Thanks for all

They'll be good at the parking lot too. Just have to mess around with the shore to figure out what sticks the best.

it's a parking lot 23 x 48 yards. The longest part mesures 48 yards. I guess if I change my gear ratio, I'll get stronger acceleration. The track has 1 long 180º curve, 3 sharp 180º curves, and 3 smooth 90º.

Status: offline 		flynvy5 ,

i dont think that foams chunk real quick im running 40 shore and 30 shore on the front and i run on a parking lot track every week and i get about 7-8 weekends at least if not more out of a set of tires, before they really start to chunk or need replacing, all we do to our track is blow it off with a leaf blower and then run .................. i think alot depends on the shore and the brand you use

and racing T shore is the rating of the tire.... the higher the shore number the harder the compond which means less wear but also means less traction the lower the number the better the traction but they wear out faster
hope that helps have fun
