Hello!

I'm considering entering, as the track looks ace.

I might have my B44 sorted in time too, however I think I'll run my B4.

I've got a quick question about tyre and motor selection? What would work best out of these...

2WD

Rears
Bow Tie rears
Schumy Yellow Mini Pin
BB Green Mini Spikes
Hole Shot Rears

Fronts
Step Pin
Schumy Yellow Mini Pin
BB Green Mini Spikes
Schumy Yellow Mini Spike

4WD

Holeshot's all round
Schumy Yellow Mini Pin's all round

And, the motor's I have are...

10.5 Brushless - Nosram, currently in the B4
5.5 Brushless - Novak, planned to go in the B44
10x2 Brushed BRM

If someone could give me some guidance, that would be great.

Cheers.

it it's wet then bow ties on the rear of the 2wd will help give you drive. Ideally you want to pair them with ribs on the front as sch mini's will understeer in wet.

BB pink spikes are ace in 4wd in the dry or damp, yellows are ok as long as it's not too wet.
i ran BB pink rears and yellow front mini's at the regional in the summer which gave a nice balance, but the track was pretty hot then.

[Hello!

I'm considering entering, as the track looks ace.

I might have my B44 sorted in time too, however I think I'll run my B4.

I've got a quick question about tyre and motor selection? What would work best out of these...

2WD

Rears
Bow Tie rears = work well and fun to drive
Schumy Yellow Mini Pin = Not in wet
BB Green Mini Spikes = work ok, slightly slippy!
Hole Shot Rears = only in dry, so not this tiem of year

Fronts
Step Pin = yeh
Schumy Yellow Mini Pin = not in wet
BB Green Mini Spikes = yeh
Schumy Yellow Mini Spike = not in wet

4WD

Holeshot's all round = not in wet
Schumy Yellow Mini Pin's all round = not in wet

And, the motor's I have are...

10.5 Brushless - Nosram, currently in the B4 = slow and smooth.
5.5 Brushless - Novak, planned to go in the B44 = be fast
10x2 Brushed BRM = quite fast

Motor depends on experience of driver.

Thanks very much for that Lee. Looks like I'll be racing the B4 then I guess. Probably Brushed i guess, as the 10.5 is a bit underpowered, even indoors, so I'd expect it to be pointless using that.

I'll let you know asap if i can book in.
