When we
designed
the
RC10T
truck, we
looked
at
the ROAR rules
and there was
no minimum dimension
list
ed
for the front wheels
and
tires.
Because what we were designing was
similar
to Stadium
Trucks, we wondered why nobody was using narrow front
tires. as on Stadium Trucks.
So.
we
made
some narrow
and
wide front
wheels
and tires
and
did
some testing. We
ended
up
runni
ng
the
narrow front
wheels
and tires at the
FLORIDA WINTER
CHAMPIONSHI
PS
and
finished 1st
and
2nd. Everyone
that's seen the truck wanted
th
e narrow
wheels and tires.
But. because there might
be
some tracks that
require
wi
de front
wheels
and
tires. we've
included
parts
to make narrow
or
wide o
ne
s.
Try them both out
and
see
which ones you
lik
e.
