|  sliced tires
iv been thinkin bout cuttin my ties every other knob on each side but i realy don't wana ruin these tires becuse of ignorance. there the stock mt's nothin done 2 them at all soo anything thats worked for you guys just give me a shout. i also was wondering if there was any way to beef up the turning on this becuse i all the sudden have none... or maybe i never had good turning and didn't notice??? i'm pretty sure with some hacking can slam a servo in but any pics of that would help me alot thanks

I didn't cut my tires at all and they worked fine. I tried some cut ones and didn't like them. You can't run a servo with Nylint Elect.....Have to switch over the hobby grade.

it would be a waste but you could take a normal servo and desolder the motor from the boared leaving every thing in the can, then just put some wires on the servo motor. You would also loose your RTC.

I would recommend to do it when your steering breaks and trust me it will break.

If you dice the tires, be very careful because they are very thin. I cut a few holes in mine but oh well. I can say that it made them a lot softer but as far as grip, I dont think it helped much. If you dice and then soften the tire with WD-40 or bleech it may help.

Forget the steering as well if its 1.6th. I thought we were talking 1.18th. At least JRmudmanXJ was paying attention.  |

Rather then cut the tires. Boil them and Shave the inside of the tires..
