Not sure on tyre's, I am thinking yellow mini spike on rear and blue mini spike on front not sure, as it's all new me. Any help !!!!! |
So far, tried with Fastrax 'Kourse Kings' and the SC10 4x4 out of the box tyres, both had plenty of grip, but Kourse Kings allow you to cut some spikes off to loose some grip which seems to be the main issue on TORCH astro.....
Still loads of grip and I have lost the 2 outer row and two inner rows of spikes off the fronts...
Avoid open cell foam inserts (I tried HPI ones).... they have completely collapsed, so i am using the proline blue inserts (medium) closed cell foam....
still learning with this.... hoping the spring change is going to make life a little less edgey....currently runing redcuing stearing sensitivity with the TX
Schumacher spikes, have not tried yet... be interested to see if they are a better option....
On dirt it was brilliant out the box, but on Astro it was a little different to say the least...... sure you guys will show the way.... I am very much needing some guidance on this....
