I've installed a Hi Torq servo saver and the over all turning and strait line stability has improved immensely.

Yeah Racing or 3racing Dampers Front and Rear are working much better , Yeah Racing front turn buckles , and home made tie rods I got from a 3 foot piece of all thread I got from home depot.Big improvements. I actually is handling well and I say that comparing it to my RC10 B3. See pic below. Forums not functioning correctly at the time I've uploaded pics.

another "upgrade" , I'm getting blown out of the water at the local track the local hobby store has set up in a school gym. "rubberized floor" running against rustlers, stampedes and  2wd slashes. I know , I'm asking a lot of a 20 year old kit , but I'm beating half of them and basically if you can get it hooked up , you win. I make it hard enough traxxis owners are getting angry that I'm running it." the associated and losi guys just laugh.

so I went with Proline  Calibers front and rear in super soft .

If you have experience with this type of surface I'd love to get your input.

Sorry, lots of questions. I'm always looking ahead to the next wheel/tire purchase.

They are 2.2 Proline Caliber Rear Truck  on stock wheels both in the front and rear , they fit great at both ends and are very sticky.

Picked up a new Venom 2s lipo pack today and some airplane wheels I plan to fab up a wheelie bar out of.

Check this review,

http://www.myrcbox.com/reiews/review-pro-line-caliber-tire/

I found mine on ebay  and again when I say sticky I mean hooked up , I race tomorrow. I'll rate tire performance in number of stamped and rustler owners crying about having to run with a Tamiya. I'll sit with the associated  guys ,at least they don't try to hit my truck on purpose.

Haha, you kill me LB.

I do run Calibers on my DB01, and I like that tire a lot. On my Stadium Thunder right now I'm running with Gladiators on HPI SS wheels, which hold up well (great bashing tire).

I'm curious though Busajedi - the Blitzer/Thunder front wheels are narrower than the rears - you had no problems fitting the same size 2.2 truck tires on the different rim widths? They do look good.

just an update , I won the last 2 Wednesdays in a row at the track, last Wednesday  beat the second place driver by 6 laps. That's against 2and 4 wheel stampeds , rustlers and one guy has a duratrax.  Other racers have nick named it "The Tank" and all ask "Is that a Tamiya?"

Just picked up a SC10 RS as well but not having the same luck.
