Truck Tyres

[antnee]

Is there any mini-pins and mini-spikes for truck 2.2"? As i've got a T4 and want to run it indoors and i need mini-spikes

also where can i buy wheels for it?

[PaulRotheram]

There are definatly some avliable, some of the guys at southport used to race trucks with these tyres, in yellow and blue compound.. unsure on green! but they definatly were, and should be avaliable.

didnt think of looking on the schuey website first did I?

what about wheels though? as the fronts have bearings in like the B4

[PaulRotheram]

I'm sure any shop with a CML account can get some for you, drop one of the oople supporter shops a call, i'm sure they will sort you out.

you might find that some soft ribs on the front might be better, with minipins on the front, the truck is likely to turn turlte on you.

When i ran the xxt indoors i ran the microspikes on the back and minispikes on front, went really well. Think they were blue as i found yellow to much. That was 10 year ago like! What happened to microspikes for the buggies? they were ace them indoors..!

Seen also GRP trucks are available from modelsport, they might be worth a look..

hmm, problem is, cos we're going to be running on carpet, its mini-spikes or off-road tyres only, no minipins or road tyres. the lug nut t's look like they should fit the bill but modelsport dont have them

[craigosh]

But minipins and microspikes are offroad tyres just different type of spike.

If your running on carpet, really a tire with a smallet spike like the minipins or microspike are gonna work better than minispike, but if you club has said minispike only then just get schumys in yellow.

Those GRP micro competition on modelsport look like they'd go well though.

in case you ever want to go mudding. Small spikey pins usually only give good grip on grassy surfaces, while a tire with alot more spikes is better for carpet and dirt. on almost any dirt track i would always use these, they win ROAR championships.

And for the front, a ribbed tire really just works better.
