Scotch bright pad, check, thank you What tires? All kinds, probably start with trail stompers 1.9' stock foam. Been watching headquake videos and the flex and traction he's getting is awesome, tires look paper thin. |

I never actually asked how much Headquake's wodden bodied rigs weighed, but that could play a huge role in the sidewall behavior.

I realize headquake's runs wood bodies and there heavy, his tires could just be rashed from heavy use and the weight, but I doubt he's looks like a very compotent driver with very dialed rigs. My scale rigs run a little heavy, compared to say scx. Then I fill to the brim with accessories. So I could use some extra traction. I heard of using WD to soften rubber not gonna do that but any other suggestions. I used simple green when I raced stadium but it just cleaned really well not really softened. Awesome hardbody build 808, I gotta get a hard body to start playing with, thinking farm truck clob body build. But first I gonna glue some 1 by's together and start dremeling...
