I might be opening a can of worms here, but I'm puzzled why racers haven't asked for rubber tyres that fit the supastox/mardaves?
IMHO it would certainly help in keeping the cost down for beginning racers, and make life a little easier aswell.
- no tyre trueing, hence no tyre truer needed, and not to much prepping
- tyres have a longer lifespan
- no chunking
- since the diameter stays somewhat constant, not many spurs/pinions needed
- maybe a little less grip, but that also reduces speed, so impact speeds are lower and chances of axle bending and other significant damage is less likely to happen
Furthermore, stop the discussions about what motor to buy! No beginner notices the differences between the "pro top motors" and the cheap red ones that can be bought for two tenners at the king of our hobby. Reliability issues? N O. And even if there were some, you still have enough left over for 2 more motors.
Just my 2 eurocents.
Rambling over.
