I get through about 7 packs of 6s using GRP S7s. on Hoons it is 3to 4 packs. don't use Hoons anymore as GRPs are cheaper and last longer
It really depends on how you drive I can stretch a set of hoons to almost 20 - 30 packs if you just do straight line hits. But if you drift expect 6-9 packs
I'm in the UK but you can get GRPs anywhere online. forgot to say I like drifting. it all comes down to how trigger happy you are and my infraction is bone stock just like cleets marauderYou can't really drive this thing without drifting it can you?
Sounds like I can probably comfortably get 10 packs out of these hoons if I'm conservative.
Gonna have to work a new set into my budget every couple months!
Im close behind you. No lie. No one believes me either, on White Hoons, I get some decent mileage. (on 6s)I've managed around 25-30 packs out of my stock white compounds - apparently an impossible feat
It mostly depends on the surface you're running on and how trigger happy you are. I mostly ran mine on cold, smooth, dusty tarmac in a sheltered car park. The wear on the tyres was hardly noticeable. But then a few runs on a coarser, hotter asphalt (typical road surface) and the tyres began to peel a bit
Would you be nice enough to give a link to these? I am on hobby heroes and I see GT S7, but none with a J
Thank you… I was typing it wrong in their search box!
Aww man …you have access to a velodrome?! Lucky!Im close behind you. No lie. No one believes me either, on White Hoons, I get some decent mileage. (on 6s)
I don't drift at all. No burnouts. My punch is all the way down. (for speedrunning) Only do speed runs or do consecutive laps on a paved Oval Banked bicycle Velodrome for my Infr. and Lim.
I can only say that the out the box Wheel alignment sucks, and if you don't correct it properly, right out the box, tires will wear unevenly and ruin in a heartbeat. It takes only one pack of abuse and a bad alignment to do this. Govern yourself accordingly.
I don't feel it matters what tires you are using. Sure some compounds may last a bit longer. There is not one better tire out there wear wise. Some will have better traction though. And that is subjective to how you run your rig.
My spin.
Been going there since I was a kid. I was running my 1/10 RC10L pan car there.
Mine was Hellyer park velodrome in San Jose, ca. I live about 20 min from it for 20 years. I loved riding and racing there. I can see what a blast road rc cars would be on one!^^^
It was a deteriorated mess back in the early 2000's. Then it was repaved about 10 years ago. It has an elevated Judges stand. Where we stand. Not many Velodromes around these days. City Parks doesn't really maintain it well however . But thats not new. Fastest speed I can get was 68mph out of bank 2.
Racing my son and the Infraction with my Lim is a pisser. There is a sign now posted that says no motorized vehicles. I've been called out on this. But it is meant for E bikes etc. RC cars are toys not Vehices that convey people. Yet no cyclists complain of the E bikes running 30+ MPH passing reguIar Cyclists. I never run with cyclists. I wait my turn when it is open. Or unless a cyclist doesn't mind some single speedrun passes. Mostly get onlookers in the stands taking video. I met so many onlookers that wanted these rigs. Every so often I get someone there with one thanking me for turning them onto RC. Sometimes I don't even remember them.
When my son first saw this velodrome He was blown away. His favorite spot. There is also many dirt fields there for our off road gear. That's as good as it gets for us, since it is a 15 minute drive for us. I can run consecutive laps getting about 7-8 miles per pack. Temps are not too bad either. Because you don't run flat out full trigger.
Same boat, LOL
