Anything rubber.

I have been using Much-More Sweep 28s and 32s. Others have used Tamiya Type A's, CS22's, even old HPI 15-40.

Try your local and if not there are lots of mail order shops that will have tyres in stock. If you are going to buy some tyres for Jarrow I would suggest the Sweep 32 premount (SWP-32C) as this *might* be our control tyre in the future.

Well, I run the TOP - but there is a new one due in the new year so it would be worth waiting for that in my opinion.

If you are looking for a good all-round car, Tamiya TA05 is the one that seems to suit most drivers and most grip levels. Good value too and the R version has all the hop-ups in the box.

10.5 brushless, yes (or 19T brushed).

Don't really know anything about the TC5R, don't know anyone running one.

Yes, I used to race a TA05R, won a few meetings at Nissan with it, sold it to Mel who still runs it at Jarrow when he comes. In fact when Jarrow was on the slippy floor Mel beat me with it! Good car.

I think it is an IFS-R that they sell now, might be even better!
