B44 on Wood, which Tyres ?

[raymondkerr]

Just got my first 10th scale buggy and will be running indoors after the summer. Should I be using Schumacher Yellow Mini Pins or Mini Spikes for slippy wooden floor indoors on my B44 run 10.5 motors?

Thanks

We run buggys indoors on Polished Floor every Wednesday at FORCC.

Ever car runs Schuey Yellow Full Spikes

full spikes make the car feel lazy and if your running a 10.5 you don't want the car to feel sluggish.
we race indoors on a very slippy sports hall floor and almost all cars are on yellow mini spikes.
the only thing you have to consider is mini spikes don't last as long as full spikes.

Warn full spike ....yellows mini spikes are inconsistant
full spikes have less spike/surface area touching the floor so the cars weight is concentrated more on the spike giving you more grip
the tyres must be warn down about half way though

mmmmm.......about 90% of the people that race at my club would disagree with you
but hay you go your own way and best of luck with it.
