might be best to state which surfaces you are likely to race on, then people can advise you better.

general guide
grass - sch yellow minispike
astro - sch yellow minispike or BBuggy minipins
dirt/clay - not 100% sure, depends on the dampness etc

look in the set up section for you particular car (or any other car) and look at the set ups for various different surfaces.

used to use them body boards, but I think I am a little to, erm, weight biased for surfing now.....

BB minispikes are good when the ground is hard and the grass is bare.

I find the greens are nice and they aren't as snatchy, although the front need to go on wide front rims. If it is real slick, pinks.
