ThunderDragonCy 7779 Posted March 15, 2019 The Chinese ebay rally wherlset I ordered for RR-03Ra has fallen through and I am impatient to progress. I have going to get some tamiya 26mm wheels, but should I also get tamiya rally blocks too, or is there something else better? Do I need foam inserts? Full "on road" newbie here. Educate me please!

svenb 3735 Posted March 15, 2019 Tamiya rally block tyres aren't cheap but easily obtainable, I would recommend inserts 👍 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MICHAELs TopForce17 583 Posted March 15, 2019 Rcmart has the new soft rally blocks that include foams. http://www.rcmart.com/tamiya-54861-rally-block-tires-soft-2pcs-p-81978.html?cPath=35_2061_283 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Honza 914 Posted March 15, 2019 Normal tamiya blocks are too hard. Years ago, we were using tamiyablock copies, which used softer compound. Those were best tires, but they are not available anymore. However, new Tamiya "Softblock" could be something similar. From first reports, they might have right compound. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juls1 1653 Posted March 15, 2019 The cheap Ebay knock if Tamiya rally blocks are much much softer than the real thing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prescient 671 Posted March 15, 2019 @ThunderDragonCy If in the UK, these work well https://www.modelsport.co.uk/fastrax-street-rally-block-tyre-mounted-on-10-spoke-white-wheels-4-/rc-car-products/387200 Tyres are glued but can be separated in hot / boiling water. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderDragonCy 7779 Posted March 15, 2019 Thanks fellas. I have some Tamiya Focus WRC wheels coming, and bought some cheap wheels off a UK ebay seller which says the tyres aren't glued, so we'll see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fabia130vRS 2098 Posted March 15, 2019 If you want I have a set of tamiya rally block tires on some 5spoke touring car rims. Glued. If interested pm me I think hpi rally tires are the best not sure... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilsonian 41 Posted March 16, 2019 As mentioned, I've used both the true tamiya rally blocks and the cheap china knock off and the cheap ones do wear quicker - however it also depends what your running it on. if it's trimmed grass then the cheap ones will be fine. If it;s true rally - IE gravel then I'd suggest (as others have before me ) the true rally blocks, with foam inserts and glued. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
