I ran the tyres in 4wd too, there was much less wear on these though the track had much less concrete which might have had something to do with it. I did 3 runs and they pretty much felt as good on the 3rd as the first, I don’t think they go off as quick as the Schumacher’s and grip well when looking visually worn. So visually they might wear faster than a Schumacher but in terms of grip they keep going as long, maybe, more testing needed.

What is good though is that on my first run the track was a little damp after a shower and by the end was almost dry (was one of those days), they defo worked when damp and as proved by times are very good in the dry. So you know when you can’t decide if it’s worth the gamble on yellows yet but it’s close, I think these bad boys are the perfect answer as are better in the damp and seemingly there or there abouts as good in the dry.

From speaking to Adam, pre mounts are very much a consideration with AE/Losi fronts and rear (same fitment) compatability. I think 4wd (fronts) were out due to the wide range of wheel types out there now. Either way he is best to confirm!

Ref Stotfold, they may well be great on the front, however with slims, stagger ribs and now these there are only so many things to try!
