James, a softer foam tyre is different to a softer rubber tyre.

Usually, rubber tyres have the same sidewall flex irrespective of compound. Generally, whether TC or Off-Road, the insert remains...

Stu, I run -12% on a Futaba - in other words, the expo is set to make it less sensitive as you come off centre. I find this works well for fast sweepers and high-speed infield corners.

Stu, watching the video your car is definitely over-geared and/or over-timed. Notice how everyone catches you through the sweeper as your car bogs down - that's where the heat gets generated. Out...

Shiney, try 38 degrees. I have run to 40 degrees, but prefer that smidge less. Rollout is 66 to 68 mmpr depending on track shape. Tighter track, lower number. If your tyres are 48mm dia then 68...
