So I'm not sure if you guys noticed but Highland Crawlers is offering a new 'tang' for his lockers that is supposed to solve the alignment problem. All new lockers sold will have the new tang and he'll send you new tangs for your current lockers for free. I guess it was worth our while to complain a little in his thread.

So have any of you guys had any problems with your pit bulls being punctured easily? I like my tires sealed and I just had to replace my second pit bull with a hole in it. I love the tires but I hate to keep buying replacements when the tires are brand new. I'm kinda considering going to an IROK on my Chevy.

lol i was kidding. kinda.

i like the look of the yotas, especially on a yota. and the width is perfect. but dog nammit i hate the quality of the components. maybe they have changed since the trex60s and the d40's that i own and have broken numerous times.

so, im gonna run the yotas until they break. when they do i'll give some thought about swapping over to axial.


on a different note i got my cut and shut proline tsls today. please let me run these in class2...

If it's just a puncture, you can patch them with CA glue.

I've been thinking about this and a few other rules pertaining to NIRC.
I think we need to have a serious talk about the direction of NIRC when it comes to SORCCA rules, our members and fun...
And not an on-line discussion... that's just messy.
We need to have a face to face driver meeting before next season... maybe after the last comp.

Jason, I vote you run em!

CA Glue? I didn't even think about that. I threw one out just the other day. Dangit.

What is CA glue? Is it made specifically for rubber? I ordered some more of those rubber flares from Spain for my clod and I may need to take a chunk out of the middle of them to fit my wheel wells. Would CA Glue be the thing for that too?

It's basically Super/Krazy glue.
It's used to mount tires to wheels so yes, it's safe for rubber.

Never throw out a tire!
You could use the bad ones to learn how to cut-n-shut... imagine a 1.9 style Pit Bull as a 2.2

BSI IC-2000 Tire Glue 1/2oz 20-45 Sec. Rubber Toughened Cyanoacrylate: Amazon.com: Toys & Games

that stuff there WORKS.

ca is just the tech term for super glue. (cyanoacrylate)
but you gotta get the hobby grade stuff and not crazy glue.
