Doors open around 6:30 pm, tyre wise foams are fastest but mini pin work with something less grippy up front on 2wd. The address isWellfield Business and Enterprise College, Yewlands Drive, Leyland, PR25 2TP. Any other info can be found on the website http://www.rvrccc.co.uk

I use 1/8 stock car doughnuts made by contact. Usually I buy from kamtec but Bolton model Mart and Ross mod carry them sometimes. I use 40 up front and 35 rear. Loads of different methods to mount them, I just cut all ribs off my wheels and stretch the tyre over. I glue with normal tyre glue, some use contact adhesive but you'll need to rough up all of the rim for this to stick to the wheel. The fronts on my 4wd I cut the rims to 2wd width. Most people then true them one way or another but I'm lazy and just throw the car on and they soon bed in. You'll also need additive this is usually available to buy at race control

Default foams

Just spotted on shumacher website under contact tyres tab 1/10 buggy donuts in 35 shore and 45 shore.
These should be same as I have been testing. My suggestion for 2wd would be 35 on rear and 45 front.
The softs are really grippy.
Good price too and instock
