Smile New to short course nats!

Hi guys just wondering if you could clear up a couple of things for me.

Is there any motor limits for the nats?

Is it 2s lipos only?

Just a couple of questions :-D

Thanks

Im new too and signed up last night for the 1st round at Cov in May.

Anyone have any insight as to what the track surface is like on the dirt in terms of tyre selection.

I see all these descriptions like loose and loamy etc and to be honest have not idea what tyres to get for this event. Descriptions for tyres are not really that helpful as they all say "great on many types of dirt surface" or similar generic descriptions which help none at all when trying to choose.

I am trying to avoid spending £150 on new wheels n tyres for one event?

Hi Dude here from Coventry, welcome to short course.
There is a variety of tyres that work , I'm using my tyres from last year still.
Kit tyres or ribs up front, AKA City blocks , bow fighters , calibers or maglevs work on the dirt.
Other tyres not tested by myself are blockades and choppers.
The wear rate is good on most tyres and one set will last at least 2 to 3 meeting.
Please ask if you have any other questions.
Dude

im running m4 proline blockades and std associated up front,ive tried jconcept goosebumps they are good when new,subcultures work on the straights but seem to lack traction through the corners...but its all to do with how youve set the car.... just make sure the shell has some holes in it as coventry does get a bit windy and can see you car pulling wheelies down the main straight!!... apart from that just ask for help with setups...we are all very helpful....

Anyone struggling to get tyres , I have 2 or 3 pairs I'm prepared to sell , goose bumps , part worn calibers and maybe some Louise rc tyres.

The track is getting juiced and rolled before the short course meeting as part of the rally x Nats prep

James has first dibs on some tyres,
I've had a bit of a sort out and have found 8 pairs of part worn used and good used tyres.
I will bring them with me on the Saturday practice at the sc Nats .
