dBoots 10th off road tyres
 

http://www.dboots.com/

The dBoots tyre range has been developed over the last 6 months and the first – Terrabyte – tyre is now available. We will have more designs available in the coming months for 10^th scale, Short Course and 8^th scale - so please keep your eyes on the website for further details.

The Terrabyte tyre is already the Control tyre for the Ardent Raceway Off Road Winter Series (http://www.ardentracing.com/teamdurangowinterseries/) and has successfully proved itself by setting TQ and the Win the first time out in the hands of Nathan Waters (TQ) and Adam Skelding (Win)

Is there a 2wd front version of this tyre?

Also do you know the price being charged at Ardent for the tyres?

Regards
Gareth

No 2WD front yet!

4WD fronts £7.25

Rears £7.75

Tyres look great!

To clarify, being the control tyre you MUST use these tyres at the Ardent winter series (i.e. Sunday)?

I thought the control tyre was either dBoots or Yellow Mini pins...?

It's NOT a must you have to run these! Schumacher Yellow Mini Pins are/were the control, untill these dBoots were released and now both can be run at Ardent!!

Dont forget 2wd can run ANY front tyre!!!

Toby is correct, I don't think I saw dBoots on anything other than Durango chassis at the last one Dan so don't worry mate.

I've ordered yellow pins for sunday

Thanks all.

As I say, they do look good!!!!

I can confirm they are good! :thumbsup:

Tried them last Sunday at Bury Metro indoor meeting.

They had plenty of grip on the polished floor, and don't seem to wear out anywhere near as quick as Schey minipins.

Will be using them at Chadderton this Sunday.

So dboots are best on carpets like the minipins

What are they like on the Carpet, wear and tear, grip etc?

There just as good as Schey minipins on the carpet, loads of grip but also a little more forgiving at the same time. This made the transition from polished floor to high grip carpet easier and more consistent.

Craig

Awesome, might have to try a set!

What you using on the 2wd for front tyres?

Will be on sale this Saturday and Sunday at the Ardent Raceway and Team Durango Winter Series Round 3. Doors open for practice on Saturday from 13:00 until 22:00. Sunday doors open 07:30 racing starts at 09:00.

Spaces available, just turn up.

Surface will be 70% carpet, 30% OSB boards/hardboard.

Ive only tried them in 4wd but would imagine the should work fine in 2wd aswell. I'd prob use minipins on the front or staggers until they make their own 2wd fronts.

Have these tires been tested on dirt?

They do look cool :)

Is it just me or does Adam look a bit scary in that picture?!

Nooooooooo don't do it :o

2wd fronts are available now too! :thumbsup:

Does anyone know if these tyres will be available as a premount version also. Thanks

MultiBytes look cool to

http://www.rcdisco.com/part-info.php?partNo=DB1001RA

Looking forward to trying the terrabytes out down at our club. James Ambrose was doing some testing with them on his two wheel drive and they looked to have plenty of grip on the carpet.

I don't know how many rounds he ran them in but they looked really fresh at the end of the night.

Can someone in the know answer me. Are these designed for dirt, i.e. soft compound, or are they astro tyres?

As you know DBoots are one of the control tyres that can be used at the Ardent and Team Durango Winter Series. Therefore we have an offer to get this control tyre launched at Round 3.

Applies to this weekend only!! (18th - 19th December) and only available to those racing.

Buy one complete set of the control tyre (1 x DB1002RA and 1 x DB10024A (or DB10022A 2wd)) for £15 and get another complete set for just £10. (£25 for 2 sets!)

We have 50 x Rears, 30 x 4wd Fronts and 20 x 2wd Front tyres. Cash only, first come first served. Available from 13:00 on Saturday when doors open for practice.

The offer is for this Round of the series only, back to normal pricing for future rounds, sorry.

Hope to see you at the weekend!

ill vouch for that too,i marshalled craigs heat and they where getting loads of grip on the sweaper at the end of the straight which was polished wood,to the point that they where screaching!!

Any one know of any other shops that have a set in for 4wd?

Just ordered mine from je spairs they had 4 of each in stock.

Does anyone know which is the best front wheel to use with the 2wd front Terrabyte's on a B4 (ie. the standard B4 'wide' wheel or the 'slim' cougar wheel (u3766)) ?

Ordered mine from MB models, cannot fault customer service mike a real nice bloke.

I ran some today at ardent and on the carpet theyre insane! As much drive as pins but have the ability to drift a bit. But on the slippy section they felt next to hopeless. Maybe I need to adjust te setup of m car to suit but mini spikes were a good compromise, Pins were too edgey on the carpet and fine on the slippy, Dboots ace on the carpet, just right id say but poor on the slippy IMO and the mini spikes were bang in the middle of both on both sections.

Are any inserts included, if not, what do you use? I'd like to give them a try on our sandy Astroturf in Troisdorf and probably in Langenfeld, too. The 2WD fronts also look very interesting and should be easier to mount than stagger ribs... :thumbsup:
