Ok, I just picked up an L3 with the L4 conversion off of Ebay. It comes with Green Rears, and I think 1 red, 1 purple, and maybe 2 blue fronts. I will have to double check.
Anyway, what tires do you guys run and could anyone give me a general direction the color ratings as far as hardness and other differences? I know about as much about oval as I did 5 months ago about touring which is exactly jack and crap lol. But there is alot more sources of info out there on touring than there is oval. That I have been able to find anyway.
to run 4 cell stock you can run a number of tires. a good starting point would be 4 purples. as for a tire chart it varies between manufactors such as trc and jaco I personally like TRC tires. the jaco break easy and the foam peals off the rim.
you can get a tire chart off Trinity's website you need to go here
A new beginning, we've got John on here now too! Sweet.
Version 2.0, what are the new enhancements George lol
Looks like good weather for Friday, very warm during the day and cooling down at night, if the forcast holds, the track's gonna be fast!
Eugene G- Sounds like it has Spec tires on it. If you're going for the "El Cheapo" route on the car,the Spec rubber's a good start! But most,if not all,of the stock guys stick to the good rubber.
What class are ya planning to run w/that car?
Shawn-New enhancements? Hopefully more racin' & raggin' than complaining! lol

George,
I plan on starting in 4 cell stock in a couple of weeks. I should have the car tomorrow and then a few weeks practicing with it before trying a race out. I am looking for some more fun besides the TCs. Depending on how much fun/how easy I pick it up will decide where I go from there, lol.
So...what's the good "rubber"? TRC, BSR, JACO, etc. or whatever I can get a set to use and practice with fast like before Friday. J/K Also, if HW has is in stock?

Eugene- The good stuff is what you've mentioned: TRC,BSR,JACO,etc. IMO,the Spec rubber is a bit too hard & crappy whereas the "good stuff" is a higher grade of rubber. Look closely at a TRC purple tire vs a Spec Blue. The surface on the Purple has more of an open pore construction than the Spec tire. Also the rubber is a better quality than Spec.
I've practiced my car last Sat & Sun in 19t trim using Spec tires. They handled pretty good,except I wore the crap out of the fronts! The car may have been better w/good tires. The tires that HW carries (good rubber) are TRC's with the hideous yellow rims. They are more expensive than Specs,but if ya want to play,ya gotta pay!
Deep Blue Hmmmm anything like deep thought??? All is good ready to run Friday to try the new speedo see if that solves my problem....Always have been slow but this stuff lately is killing me. See ya there
Slow ??? I thought it was just the driver?? Ha Ha !!
