Hi,
The wheels are a different size to buggys. For rear tyres in the wet most use Schumacher spirals, with mini pins in when really dry. Between the to its personal preference I generally use dboots or pinpoints. For the front I tend to use the ae kit tyres from the sc10, but most people use worn tyre they have previously used on the rear. Hope this helps. Paul |

You need sct specific tyres.
These are my tyres of choice in, there is others but as a starting point: Dry: Front fastrax course kings t1 compound with 2 inner and 2 outer rows cut with the sad fast ran insert Rear Schumacher minis pikes in yellow compound, and tend to use a proline closed cell insert The above work well on any type of astronomy I my experience. Sone tracks benefit from a pin type tyre but the above works OK there still. Wet Front Schumacher stagger rib in silver, with a normal foam insert Rear Schumacher spiral in silver with a normal insert Dboots a compound multi bytes can be used instead of yellow minis pikes and last verythromycin well. Doors b compound multi bytes is a very good intermediate/damp tyre. Have you got a particular track in mind? |

Oh wow so there is a lot more into it I've been buggy racing for a while now and a few guys fancied giving sct a go. We are based up in the highlands so wet a lot of time or low pressure weather so normally low or med conditions . But it's just great to get a base to go from as although it's the same as buggy racing there are different things to find out
I really appreciate all your replays and advice |
