Charlie, Only JK tires; the RTR car comes with only JK tires. We do not want people spending a lot of money trying to figure out the best tire. Totally unnecessary. Just stick with the notion that its an RTR car class. About the gears: the rules states any brand 37 tooth gear. We should have stated: any brand 64 pitch 37 tooth gear.
Jay, the Hawk 7 motor is faster than the JK Retro Hawk and is more reliable since it been coming with the comm wrapped. We will stick with the Hawk 7. The car class is RTR.
The first RTR race will be at Melbourne in September. Jay, I hope to see you there. I think that you will be running as an expert driver.
