first timers at Batley

[Wilfnsam]

Hi me and my son are hoping to race at Batley on sunday for the 1st time we are running a b41 and losi 22, what tyres should we run and can someone tell me what the schumacher colours mean, i know some are harder wearing than others but which is which, thanks

When its dry you want to run yellow minispikes on the rear and staggers on the front. If its wet then you then ballistic greens will work best (front and rear).

The schumacher green compound also works better in the wet on some tracks.

Hope this helps

If it is dry, Schumacher yellow mini-spikes all round is a safe bet (remember you need to order the SLIM front for 2wd). Some drivers prefer to use a Schumacher stagger rib on the front of a 2wd, so this is also something you could try if you wished (Personally, I always use minispikes).

If it is Slightly wet Schumacher green minispikes work nicely.

If we have had a heavier shower, Ballistic buggy minispikes in green are a better option (pink compound also works, but wears out faster )


As for Schumacher tyres in general, I believe Blue is made from a similar "rubber" to yellows, but is a harder compound.These two are usually used in the dry.
Greens are made more of a "synthetic" material, designed for slippery/wet conditions.
