The Majority of younger kids that race,Race Electric not Nitro. Nitro is more Expensive. It would be nice to have the kids home earlier. |

I ran Holeshots on all four wheels of my T4 and had real good traction all night. For buggy I ran Panther Bobcats on the front and Double D's or Goosebumps on the rear and did decent with them. I am not sure why the Goosebumps worked, I think it might be the green compound that hooks up okay. If anyone has a different green compound tire you might want to try it out once and see how it works.
I am not sure if anyone tried Pink Tapers or not, but I would think they would be pretty good on the track too? |

Ran Proline Calibers on all 4 on my SC10, hooked up great in the last 2 rounds Friday, once the track dried a little. |

It was definiely the compound Revo.I ended up running wore/cut goosebumps on all 3 vehicles(buggy,truck,SC).I did try pink tapers on front of the buggy for the 2nd round.Didnt like them.They felt very unpredictable.So I went back to green groovy's for the main.I found that the key with the goosebumps was that they be either wore/ cut down to the bars in the tread as not to get a bunch of "pin fold" under accelleration.
