Losi 22 and tyres ?

[andys]

After trying tons of stuff to get my 22 to work (HRC / LRC - squat / oils / springs / Steve-Proracing setup - Old Dogs tips etc), i've come to this final disappointing conclusion.

The car ONLY works with NEW, or almost new tyres.

I think that the club drivers out there (me included) are trying to chase the right setup from the info posted on oOple, but is just does not work unless you have new boots.

I ran a set of one meeting old tyres today on the 22, then after struggling for initial traction out of the corners (grass and astro track) I put them on my X6 - the X6 had bags of grip and was in no doubt which way should be pointing forwards. Was about a second a lap quicker with the X6. These tyres would normally last me at least another meeting...

So - i'm undecided what to do, car is good when grip is high - crap when it's low, and crap when the tyres start to go off. So annoying when another car gets close, so you boot it, only to find yourself pointing in the wrong direction !
