Default 2 Quick RC10t4.1 questions

Three of us guys got these cars and love them .......having a ball !
2 questions:
What charge rate should we be charging a Venom Power 2S 25C 5000mAh 7.4V LiPo Battery ?
And one guy wants to run his on the street at times and would like to get a suggestion of street tires to run on the street WITH wheels that will fit the RC10T4.1
We are new at this so your help would be GREAT !
Thanks

Use stock wheels or ProLine Velocities, and ProLine Gladiators are good all-around tires that work decent and wear pretty good on the street.

We are running on VERY low grass right now and the cars run GREAT, only hard to get the power to the ground on grass.......a lot of fish tailing
THANKS

Are you sure about the Pro-line Gladiators they look like off road, he wants to run on the street (ashplalt) ??
Wouldn't foam type be better ??
Thanks

If he ONLY wants to run on the street, sure. M2 Gladiators ARE off road tires, but they wear well on pavement, especially M2 compound.

for your battery i would charge at 5.0 / lipo will last longer and make sure you balance the pac . i like to balance charge every time and its allways good to have a xtra pack to run , so you can let the other cool down or just to give it a break and lets say you have a 5300 pac then you want to charge at 5.3 . i hope that helps
