Default tyres

Hi guys

I just bagged myself a 2wd 1/10 buggy on here and wondered what tyres/inserts work best at Caldi?

See you all on Friday

Basically anything 'Schumacher yellow' will work to a degree.

Minipins give the best ultimate grip but can make the car twitchy on steering. On my 2wd car indoors i like spikes rear with medium Schumy insert and either spikes front with cut medium insert or cut staggers and no insert. Gives a nice predictable car without the front feeling too lazy.

Really it depends on your skill level and car to what will work best for you

I've been using Kangawollafox inserts in my (F&R) tyres the last couple of years...basically like a medium, chubby schumacher insert I think.

This makes sure the tyres are well filled, and not too soft. Which on medium/high grip is far more consistent IMO.

it'll get me going in 1/10th again and then maybe once I've found my feet I can upgrade the buggy

can anyone suggest a good budget servo, someone mentioned the Alturn servo at under £20, any advice greatly appreciated

cheers

Shaun
