Hobao Angle spikes, worn down preferably (keep those old sets or buy others off them cheap)

You can run thicker diff oil coz of the massive grip, run the ride height low as possible , stiff anti roll bars, and depending on the bumpiness harder shocks and shock oil..

Watch out for traction rool



This the Kent club?

The astroturf at our track has just been relaid and its got alot of sand in it, in the wet I'd use angle spikes but they give too much grip roll in the dry so I've been using jollys.
