Default Put slicks on it...

I did and the car just flyes.,..much faster than with the nobberly ones.

I bought 4 FG truck Wide wheels and tyres for my Marder Race for £55 on ebay (what a great site), and i used them on the car today on some tarmac, and the Marder just tore up the tramac and the car seem muck faster only by about 5mph tho, but what a difference they made.

Pretty good, but don't turn in toooo quickly other wise you'll burn a hole in the tarmac with all the torque going through the rear wheels.... roll on the 4WD conversion kit.

You can get second hand slicks from a shop in sevenoaks. Under £20 for two wheels and tyres.
Had a look in the shop yesterday. They buy the used tyres from people at race days, only been used once on the track moast of them.

Contact details

Manklow's Kit & Tackle
44, Seal Rd, Sevenoaks, Kent TN14 5AR
Tel: 01732 454952

Im 99% sure they do mail order.
