Default Tyre Help

okay i have now got a Xray XB4-14, i have been running a Losi 22 fitted with Narrow front Low Profile tyres on the front.

My Question is! can i do the same with the XB4? i know that 4WD buggys have wider front wheels than 2WD buggys. And will this make a difference?

thanks

There is scenarios this may work better. Maybe on very high grip tracks for example.

Id stick with standard fronts personally and just tweak set up.

Hi Ian

I always use regular 4WD fronts (narrower than the rears) with Schuy yellow minipins at Parmiters. Craig sometimes uses 2WD staggers on his 4WD but I would not start with that. The carpet is med/high grip rather very high grip so should not be necessary.

Look forward to seeing you soon!
