Racing has been a bit slow (both literally and figuratively) at Madison Mini RC lately, so I’ve been taking the time to try out some new tire combos. I recently picked up a few sets of Marka’s new v15 front tires from Silverhorse. Aside from a report from my buddy Clint, there’s been very little info on these. Even Marka themselves have not said how the v15 tires compare to their other compounds.

I read on Facebook that the V15F15 was the sweet spot with these so I picked up a couple sets of those as well as some F10s and F20s.

This afternoon, I’m scrolling through Facebook and I see a post declaring that Team Associated’s new 1/28 AWD car, the TC28, is already a flop in terms of customer support. I keep reading and I learn that the car only works with Team Associated wheels. I found this hard to believe because wheels at this scale work pretty much with all cars unless it has something to do with offsets or something like that. But no, that’s not the case with the TC28 as its CVD axle is a unique size.

As you can see, the rectangular hole in the white, TC28 wheel is quite a bit larger than the yellow, standard AWD wheel. Now, you could enlarge the hole a bit and jam it on the TC28 axle but you run the risk of having a wheel that is out of balance.

Welcome to my home away from home where I plan to share tips, tricks and thoughts about RC cars and the racing community. As you can see, this website is still a work in progress and I will be updating as time allows.
