Default North east Regionals Advice needed pls
Being away from the RC culture for 4-5 years ive never raced any of the current regional tracks and was after some help with what surfaces are at each track and tyres to use there. Im looking to buy them in advance so any help / advice would be great.

Im doing all 8 events both 2wd and 4wd and running a Losi 22 and AE B44.1

Cheers in advance

yellow mini spike will be a good choice for most tracks if they are dry

Don't need to be there till 10.

I always find the Batley club meets quite relaxing and gives you chance to get the cars setup.

I will be taking both 2 and 4wd but changing cars as and when.
