    DT-03 Road Tires

    in Build Tips and Techniques

    Hi,

    Sorry for another topic but my Build does not have huge audience :P

    I am looking for typical road tires for my DT-03 standard rims. I prefer Tamiya.

    Any suggestions?

    I do not want to make mistake that I previously done...

    For the standard DT-03 star dish wheels there are no Tamiya road tires. I'm pretty sure you will not find any road tires for those wheels. Maybe someone else is aware of of some.

    You could try Carson ones which are pretty common for the DT-02 and DT-03. At least here in Germany. There are several types and they come as complete wheels. Here's an example:

    If you prefer Tamiya I guess you have to go with the Aqroshot ones which are 2.2.

    I would agree. I'm surprised a company going so long in the RC industry haven't dabbled in other RC areas such as planes, boats, submarines etc

    There was a smale range of RC sailing boats years ago.  56201 - 56205. Maybe it was not that popular so it was discontinued?!

    Japanese Company Looking for Safety Data Sheet before kit export

    It’s a TA04 R Tuned. I’ve contacted the hobby company who have told me that they won’t be able to provide MSDSs for these items as they don’t sell them individually (as they come from kits). 

    @ChrisRx718 where did you get that damper MSDS from?  I think I’m going to have real difficulty in finding the other two I’m after. 

    You can find all safety data sheets on the homepage of the German Tamiya distributor. Unfortunately only in German language. Please go to 

    https://www.tamiya.de/tamiya_de/home/

    search for the applicable part number and find the SDS in the download area.

    If it’s not a cost thing then why’d you mention money as one of the reasons lipos aren’t worth it? 
     

    You’re basically paying the same money for an inferior and obsolete technology. And the only reason you’re doing so is because you can’t be bothered to storage charge after each session and store in an ammo can. I don’t get it. 

    For that reason I've just bought two new NiMH batteries. I love the performance of my LiPo batteries but they are more or less useless for spontaneous running of RC cars. If I have an hour of spare time and like to run a car in the backyard and have only Lipo batteries I could keep everything where it is. Too much hassle pre and post running.

    Longer wheel axles for M-06

    Would you use these to get a wider track at the rear by changing to wider wheel hexes (8 or 10 mm instead of the standard 6mm?) and without having to change the suspension arms?

    Yes, if you only want the rear a few mm wider it's perfect. I will have to test if they will be enough for my purpose as I want to fit Sand Scorcher wheels and its possible that I need a little bit more than 4 mm. Maybe I need to change the inner bearing for a more narrow one.

    The "Postman Brought Me" Thread

    Some very different things where delivered today, but all of them RC related. Got a Brother labelling machine (which was a bargain) to get more structure in my parts stash , some needles for my airbrush, a LiPo bag, some cheap 1.9 beadlock wheels and two Nimh batteries.  These are for unplanned running my cars. I have some LiPo batteries but sometimes when you're coming home and have half an hour of spare time for running a car in the backyard it kills the plan if you need to charge a battery first.

    These are great. I have one with loads of  scale bits on it. What wheels are the they seem to fit well and probably have better grip than the stock ones?

    Yes it's a great car. Unfortunately I've broke a steering arm yesterday so I have to wait for the spare part. Maybe the weather was too cold for the plastic. The grip is far better with these wider tires. They are RC4WD Attitude M/T 1.9 mounted on 2.2 China beadlock wheels. The foams are a tad to wide, 4-5 mm less would be perfect. But I wasn't brave enough to cut them yet.
