The 1/10 program at Thornhill recently started back up and I decided to test the same Clay setup I posted here which made the car significantly easier to drive on turf:

I also experimented with running 2WD carpet tires and the car was just hooked up with my results here:

I see most of the setup sheets that people use the PR wheels. Is there a significance to the use of those particular wheels over pro-line or jcons? I run all of my rigs with the proline wheel and tire and have good results

I belive with some recent measurements of the IFMAR wheels, the 2wd fronts are same, rears are within a mm of the AE wheels.

I haven't checked 4wd wheels yet.

Main reason I have been running the PR wheels is because they've been less expensive, though I recently started testing the RawSpeed wheels as mentioned on link to the second post above with the 2WD slim wheels on the 4WD and they have been doing surprisingly well. I'm confident that the PL wheels will do just fine, but you may need to adjust the setup to account for the slight change in offsets.
