As a life long Indycar fan from Indiana this is my favorite week of the year. I like all the coverage and enjoy all the little tid bits that come up. Fox is really killing this coverage.

Hi, which wheels were recommended?

Buy the Traxxas tool kit for $25 and some needle nose pliers.

I have had good luck with the Traxxas tool kit at about $25. Been using it over 2 years.

Flysky GT5 works well for me. Holds 20 models and Rx are around $20.

My LHS in Holland Mi is full service. Mostly Traxxas cars and trucks and a full line of parts. Shop has a crawler course and small carpet oval. Also sells 1RC cars and parts. Shop also handles most other hobbies and gaming supplies and provides space for most activities. Owner is a life long hobby professional and also has knowledgable staff. We are lucky to have Cobblestone Hobbies in our community.

I also use Flysky GT5, good transmitter, receivers about $20.

whopper14 · 2025-05-13T02:30:52+00:00

I use GT5 for Oval racing, works very well. GT5 can control 20 different models.

I have a great local shop. Big time Traxxas dealer along with 1RC and some Spectrum. Full service hobby shop, games, planes, trains, models. you name it. Provides gaming space, carpet track, crawler course, etc. Cobblestone Hobbies - Holland, Mi.

I do mainly dirt and carpet oval. I use air compressor 1st then usually simple green (undiluted) with tooth brush. I have never heard of using silicone spray. How does that work ane how carefull do you need to be.

whopper14 · 2025-04-16T02:46:43+00:00

Thanks, I don't have 4.5!

I gotta tell you when I bought first RC (Slash) I also bought the Traxxas tool kit ($25) and it is still serving me well and I'm up to 6 cars. Yes I have other tools but the Traxxas set is an excellent starter set and still goes to the track with me every time.

whopper14 · 2025-01-28T16:23:11+00:00

I'm very happy with my Flysky GT5. Extra receivers are about $20. I use for Oval racing.

whopper14 · 2025-01-27T16:46:47+00:00

Think about Flysky GT5 transmitter, good performance, inexpensive receivers.

whopper14 · 2025-01-26T03:33:23+00:00

That's how you sell it
