What tires to use on RCP tracks
The hobby shop i plan to race at uses RCP tracks. Just wondering if you guys have any tips what tires i should use on my RC18B. I was thinking foams or hex nut adapters with rubber touring tires. What do you think
Thanks

on rcp i get better results with foams, they just grip better, with rubbers i had some sliding, probably due to wrong compound

Foams are lighter. Less rotating mass equals a cooler motor.
I would stick with 1/18 tires. See what everyone else is useing at your track.

depends.... soft foams will get eaten up. harder ones will last longer, but give you less traction. Are you planning to bash on the street? if so, get rubber tires. foams aren't meant for bashing.
