| The preferred tires are Ellegi, distributed by Serpent. Among them the Multiring 40 shore fronts and 35 shore rears are the most popular. The rules do not restrict use of any make or kind of tires, so on occasions you see tires so soft that last for only one race. |
Definitely the make of choice is Futaba, being their model 2PCKA the most popular, followed by the 3PJ and the 3PD, although there is one Airtronics M8 that grabs the attention. The preferred servos are the Futaba 3003, 9303 y 9304. |
