Has anyone tried a set of these on a 2wd? Looking for info on grip levels and wear rate compared to yellow minipins and lp cut staggers.
Also, what inserts are in the pre-glued versions? |

We used the new mini dart tyres at Batley Buggy Clubs points meeting at MB Models raceway last Sunday. It will be used as the rear control tyre at future meetings. On the EOS full carpet track there it performed excellently. Great grip and forward thrust without giving too much sideways grip to create grip roll. MB staff have tested it extensively and wear rate is much better than mini pins. Therefore, an excellent, long lasting tyre on a full carpet track. I believe that the inserts are medium.
Drivers who tried the mini dart on two wheel drive front didn't like them, those I spoke to, and reverted to cut staggers.

They were pretty loose, front tyre choice is critical. New LP cut staggers on the front were too aggressive for 3 run old Darts. The first heat with new Darts and half worn cut staggers were brilliant, but fell off noticeably the next few heats.

I used them for the first time at batley on Sunday. The tyres were worn out by the end of the meeting but they did last the full meeting. Not sure how they compare to mini pins as I've not run there before but I suspect pins would wear a lot quicker. I ran them with new cut staggers on my XB2 and it was well balanced. I did buy some front darts but the grip was so good I never felt I needed them.
This is the wear after 6 x 5 minute runs. IMG_6568.jpg

Ran a set at Silverstone on the EOS carpet with my B6..
Definitely higher wear rates than the normal yellow pins and as has been said, went "off" noticeably after three heats.. Ended up going back to a 5 heat old set of pins and noticeably higher grip. |

What's the purpose of them if yellow pins outperform them with better wear characteristics?
