3 tires only

For the last race of the year my club decided to run 10 minute heats and finals for mini class. My tires (pit shimizu) were very worn on the front, but I thought they would make it … 5 minutes in I was into 2nd place then my mini started to get slower on right hand corners.
Then I saw the tire come off and roll down the track!!! Aiyoh! My mini still had top speed but would understeer on right turns.
I finished 2 laps behind the leader

But now I know it is possible to finish 5 minutes on 3 tires & 1 rim - haha!

M03 with brushless system......  Let me try try if it can fly....

That's the 13.5 brushless, top speed is the same as a good sport tuned ... and if you use 60D tyres on the front - it's a missile!

OOOh, Ic, in HK this kind of 13.5 brushless is not avaliable....  Therefore, when I see the brushless, 4.5r, 5.5r are in my mind!!

I bought the system with a 5.5, when I tested the mini with the 5.5 at the cycling velodrome it clocked 80kmh+ on the radar!
The 13.5 I bought from stormer hobbies, it's a good motor to practice with on a normal track for mini or touring car ...

FWD brushless = 500bhp FWD

not suprising that the tyre wear would be excactly ther same as a real car crazy

Do you already have the Novak GTB esc?  I've only seen the 13.5 motor sold separately.
