How do i fit TC4 Foam bumper to my mardave?
This prob is a really dumb question but I cant figure it out. I have taken the tc4 bumper and it will slide onto the front body posts of my mardave but it touchs the wheels and they would not be able to move. I bought the Mardave 2n hand and im not really very knowledgable about building things as yet.
I check the long metal chassis to see if there were any hole to move the wheels backwards but I dont think there is. Any suggestions? I am hoping to race it later today so would really like to figure out how to get this bumper on. I didn't want to start cutting away at it before asking as the bumper is from my T/C. Many thanks |

Thanks for replys guys, I just cut some of my tc4 one so wheel could move freely and it fit on perfect. Ill just replace it for my t/C.
Had a really good day with it, my servo gave me endless problems but gonna get a metal geared spectrum one and I think it will be ok. |

Was looking at kamtec for wheels and see they sell some with tyres on and was thinking of getting some for a spare set. Anyone know what the the JAP numbers mean?

Basically the Shore rating of the tyre(hardness),the higher the number,the harder the tyre.For your front wheels try 44's or 46's to start with.

i run 44s and sometimes 46s but my rears are pink meduims and most of people who race at shurburn use them

Personally i always run pink mediums on the rear.
For the fronts i run anything from JAP 42's to JAP 52's. If you're getting grip roll, start with 50's and see how you go. Move down the compounds until the car starts to lift the inside wheel (This is generally a sign that you're close to grip rolling) Then go up a compound to be on the safe side. |
