Default Front tyres for 2wd buggy

Evening all.

I'm in dire need of more steering with my ansmann x2. i ve adjusted roll centres and shock location to loosen the rear but the rear motor buggy's back end is just too planted for front cut staggers.

I want to try out some mini pins on the front, should i be buying the slim or standard mini pins for mounting on team c front rims? and which insert?

You might need to cut the outer and / or inner row of pins off though or it might dig in on the corners.

I've tried mini pins on my tc02c and got a fast individual lap with them, but it was too hard to drive for 5 mins with them on

thanks for the reply John.

Do the team c front rims need modifying for slim mini pins or do you just stretch them over?

You can either fit them straight onto the full width of the wheel, or cut the inner bead off the wheel to make it a super slim. I've cut mine down, but would like to try it full width too

Maybe its not the fact you need more steering ??

Maybe you are cornering too fast and this is causing understeer and could be seen as not enough steering
