Hopefully someone that knows the club will know a bit more about the tyres in use, the best ones I have seen in use up here are the Xpress T27s but I wouldn't be surprised if others go better when the grip comes up.

With a bit of luck I may be able to make the GP myself in the silhouette class, alongside Mr Much-More UK himself!
Hi, sorry, busy time of the year at work, so I cant get in here often.

We've very little experience with 4wd 225mm Chassis's at the club. I've run an old HPI and a Corally, and we've had an Xray run, all of which used LRP 24s Touring Cars Wheel/Tyre combos. No one has ever run Mini size rims! With that in mind, just about anything, from 24 to 30 seems to work. The carpet is Primafelt GT and has had about 6 months use. Grip is very good, and very consitant, and as you would expect, increases significantly throughout meetings.

FWD chassis's work best with M or Super Grip D60 Radials, hard inserts up front, soft or Med at the rear.

Hope that helps.
