dBoots 10th off road tyres
 
dBoots are proud to release to market their latest in 2wd & 4wd 10<sup>th</sup> Off Road “dBoots” tyre technology.


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<sup>th</sup> scale, Short Course and 8<sup>th</sup> 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

Tyres look great!

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

/tobys 15-12-2010 10:28 PM

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

super__dan 16-12-2010 12:35 PM

Thanks all.

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

Hulk 16-12-2010 12:39 PM

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

DCM 16-12-2010 01:01 PM

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

Hulk 16-12-2010 01:47 PM

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.

Awesome, might have to try a set!

What you using on the 2wd for front tyres?

lotussmart 16-12-2010 02:13 PM

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.

moth898 16-12-2010 02:16 PM

Have these tires been tested on dirt?

Richard Lowe 16-12-2010 02:54 PM

They do look cool :)

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

MHeadling 16-12-2010 05:13 PM
