Couple of us have used them on carpet at Spa Racing, only thing I would say is keep them clean as build up of rubber and tire additive makes them slippery .

The venom 88 in white compound is now a control tyre for the buggies at marstons Rc club. We use schumacher hard insert inside them. No addative and they go great. We have found they offer a lot of grip and wear very well. Every body loves using them.

The first run will be a little lower on traction as they settle in. You should find they get better by the end of the run. After the first run they should be fine. As I said though, everyone at our club loves them and cannot believe how hard wearing they are.

Do you use the same compound front and rear and do you use additive on the front and rears?
