Tyre Additive

[Andy68]

Years ago i used some magic potion on foam tyres when racing indoors on carpet and now im coming back into the hobby i find i will be doing most of my racing outside so my question is are additives used for outdoor racing too ? I will be running a 1/10 electric touring car

the guys that run touring cars at kingskerswell outdoor tarmac track still use additives, so i'd say yes

[Andy68]

Ah just down the road from me , Is this a club in itself of a part of the Torquay club mate ?

Yes, there are additives for rubber tyres both on carpet and asphalt. Pretty much everyone uses them all the time (if the rules allow).

Personally I don't think you would go wrong by starting out with the LRP/Nosram Asphalt additive. It comes in a handy dauber bottle and it works.

you come off the a38 to newton from torquay just after the shops and before traffic lights near the sloop (hungry horse)....

the turn off is on the left and goes up to kingskerswell shops, (co'op etc)

go down through kingskerswell until you get to the bridge that goes over the railway track,

then look at picture attached to this message, would have had to make them too small to view to get to the required size to upload, so have uploaded them to sendspace instead,
