Yes, but they are also made a totally different way from the yellows. Been searching threads for this but its a lot of trawling for limited info:

There are others but the gist is that in damp/wet conditions greens work better than yellows.
This leads to the rather surprising sequence of:
Yellow - Dry
Green - Damp
Silver - Wet
Although as mentioned above few people use Schumacher silvers when Ballistic greens are better.
The point here is that Schumacher greens are more consistent than yellows. Yes they don't have the ultimate level of grip yellows do on a warm, dry track - but as many have noted with a 4wd on our super grippy astro yellows can have rather excessive levels of grip in those circumstances. Yellows also drop off badly in damp conditions whilst greens don't. So you can run all day on greens and always have a tyre that works.
Oh - and last but by no means least! These comments only apply to NEW sets of greens. Something about the rubber formula means greens harden up with age meaning that the old set you've got kicking around in the bottom of your pit box probably isn't that good in the damp at all!
As for the esc's
Try

or
http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...orion-r10.html
or actually a whole bunch of other places too. HW make the Orion R10 Pro for them. Its physically the same unit but those sold as Orion's run different software so aren't compatible with HW programming boxes etc. This does mean that out of the box they come with different profiles so aren't the same to drive, but you can download R10 like profiles for the V3.1 and V3.1 like profiles for the R10.
Honestly Gav, I know I'm a terrible driver and a pretty lousy race controller, but you ought to know by now that knowing random crap is kinda my thing!
