Hotdog Rocket Ship RC Lab

I’m going to start sharing some foam TC info to help people get into running foams and transition from rubber tire to something more civilized.

Starting things off here with some info about tire maintenance, chunking, and compounds.

(Forgive me these videos won’t be very polished in the name of saving time)

Racers at our club have found Ulti tires to be working the best but some have had success with other brands. Favorite Ulti compound combinations so far (F/R):

(All tires except the 35E compound are nitro tc front tires)

38H/35E
38H/35H
R177MH/35E
R177MH/35H
35H/35H (measured 33 shore)
35E/35E (measured 30 shore)

I will keep sharing info as we learn more. Trying new things every weekend. The idea is to help everyone have the best driving, fastest, and most economical cars possible by testing things and sharing the data. This will also help people know what is worth running if certain compounds are out of stock when you need tires. Ultimately we intend to land on a spec tire that doesn’t have supply issues.
