I recently won a Kyosho Lazer on ebay - figured it would be fun to

For 4WD drive on road cars, running them on parking lot tracks, what is
the best type of tire to get maximum traction? Foams or rubber?
Usually we are on asphalt, that isn't coated, and it's minimally dusty.

What charge current and Delta Peak should I use.

Usually lots of new products are unveiled at these shows.
The show will run from Sept. 11-14, at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center

My Traxxas radio manual says only use dry cell or nicd. Why not nimh? In

be?
