tires for ntc3
I just ride the car in the street. When I drive it, it doesnt get any traction and it just spins out all the time. Can someone tell me what tires and rims should I get for my ntc3plus and from where? thanks

I use HPI belted x-patterns using HPI green inserts (foams).

Make sure your car is setup like the manual says, If it is and you still have the problem you might try setting your front toe-in at 0 degrees (this reduces front steering and helps even things out) and your rear camber at 1 or 0 degrees (this adds more rear traction). Between better tires and these setup it should get you most of the way there.
My advice is get the AE NTC3 [link=http://store6.esellerate.net/store/catalog.aspx?s=STR313706835&pc=]NTC3 Complete Setup Guide[/link] I use mine quite frequently.
Some good sites for reference:

RE: tires for ntc3
well i found a problem, dont think it has much to do with traction but the thing that goes from teh servo to the hub carrier is slightly bent i think its called a tie rod? made car pull to that side

All I use are Jaco foam tires. I have a pair of rubbers which are absolutly terrible... I use them for drifting. I dont plan on buying rubber tires in the future, foam tires are the way to go. I have used Ellegis and Jacos and they are both great!

What color or shore jaco's do you run? I have run the blue sedans and they tend to wear fast on our asphalt surface.
I recently bought the x-patterns again to try them out.
