Snow Tyres

[Mike Hudson]

They actually work very well with a massive amount of grip in the snow, don't think they would go down well on a race track though, might rip up up the surface or the marshalls :lol:

I remember doing this years ago with some friends when I raced TC's. we put drawing pins through the tyres cut them down to about 1/2 length then raced on a frozen carpark. They worked quite well and it was fun to try something different like that.

I would love to give it a go on a buggy although marshalling would be a bit more risky than with tc's.

May well blunt those leathal spikes if i have alot of time to waste sometime, not that they would ever be allowed on a race track :lol: great fun at the dirt jumps made nearby in the snow, got some really good air time with the tyres when i had a a couple of b4's and driving it around had aawsome corner grip and acceleration

years ogo when racers were mad men:lol: for a club meet we dug a track in the snow on the carpark we ran on in the winter.we still had 20people that day with optimas and gold tub RC10s and the odd hotshot or boomarang.One of the lads put nails thru his tyres nad filled them with hard foam, worked well......marshels not so keen.

You must have been really bored to try that - how many screws did you use?! :o :lol:

[Mike Hudson]

You wana count them? ;)

[Chris Harte]

How many scratches and how much bleeding did you get when you mounted them on the wheels.

[Mike Hudson]

none it was surprisingly easy :p I made them over a year ago and just dug them out today for the short stay of the snow

[rcluke]

that looks dangerous.

i wouldn;t like to have that hit me mid-jump, like my mates B4 did :mad:

[bigred5765]

run bald mini pins once with drawing pins through them and duct tape on the inside to hold em there
worked a treat on ice
