Hi all,

Just after a bit of advice please, new to all this offroad malarky, done on road for years. Thought I'd have a go and come down in a few weeks time and race when there's no nationals on.

Got a Losi 22 - what tyres and inserts am I best off getting for the new track?

Also, gearing wise, got a 10.5 with the standard spur - 78 - in...roughly what range of pinions am I best off with, save buying 15 or so pinions next week.

Cheers all.

Schumacher Yellow minispikes all round but slim ones on the front all with medium inserts again slim on the front. Gearing wise maybe try a 24 to start with.

Cheers, I'll get them sorted next week.

Should be down in 3 or 4 weeks time with any luck! What time do you guys tend to start on a Sunday?

Some time between 11:30 and 12, unless you want to help setting up (always appreciated) in which case a little earlier.
