I never really expected them to handle great, but unless the tyres are clean the grip is non existent! It becomes a really bad/undriveable drift car.
Clean the tyres for 5 minutes are they are like fine again....for 5 minutes...at which point they need cleaning.
Doing single runs seems fine (5 minutes), but after trying a simulated stint and pitstop it seems a joke. After changing a battery it was awful. I was truely embarassed
This is all due to rubber pick-up. I can only see a few choices.
A - Stop foam tyres being used week/s before the meeting, and hope the pick-up issue disappears.
B- Use an alternative Tyre.
After trying every setup in the book to make the tyres work for longer periods. We tried running normal Sorex 28r's to check it wasn't us being stupid......and it went from a
undriveable beast to a nicely handling little car.
My 2 pence
