Jimmi - you should be able to get full spikes at most model shops, or online from Schumacher.
2.2 inch yellow full spikes.

It all depends on how the track is laid out - like Neil said, if you've got carpet down, minispikes will be better, but on the slippy floor, I find worn full spikes work better than worn minispikes. New minispikes are good as are new mini pins., but expensive to run.

Soon at the club, I think we'll be carpeting the straight, which reduces the effect of full spike.

I would hapilly run full spikes as a control tyre but I dont think we should force it on people. I dont see how a control tyre would make the racing any closer, all tyres seem capable of the same level of pace around the track.
You would still get the difference in grip levels from different wear levels of the tyres.

Personally, I'll probably be sticking with full spikes for now.
