Current thoughts on 2wd dirt front tyres ?

[Dandare]

Only i have bought some Schuey stagger ribs & cut staggers (both yellows) as well as the Ansmann 2wd kit ribs (MadRat) which i already had (& used for 30secs on the last 'dirt' day til i stacked it, lol) so never really got the chance to see how they felt, though i suspect they may have been rather understeery tbh.

Try what you have, the ribs or the staggers and go from there. Dave will have some of the proline ones on him if you want some of those (i'm using them). The back ones are from Dave aswell Proline bow ties M3

[Dandare]

Yep, got the rear Bow Tie's already.

I guess i could buy a few pairs of front rims & glue 'em all up, lol.

Personally I'd give the kit ones another go, you might find they'll not be so understeery now that your running a mid motor car. No idea what schumacher ribs will be like, only ever ran them on astro.

If you want to spend some money get a new set of front wheels and glue up some Proline and Losi ribbed fronts to match the bow-tie rears, they'll last for ages and will be the best match for the rears. Dave and I have run both with the bow-tie's and if I remember rightly the Losi ones gave a bit more steering feel than the pro-lines.

Losi state running the above tyres on wide rims ??

the proline ones are the ones, I think the losi's are what I have, but in silver compound, the packet was old as the hills, got em off the bay:thumbsup:

Wide rims are standard ones on most cars now! I think!

Sounds like I was the wrong way round to what Dave has said, I know that the Losi Red compound is softer than the silver, but I'd go with Dave and get the Pro-line ones.
