Baja 5B SS tires for racing
Being a 1/8 scale racer I know there are many variables to this question. But what would be a good tire to run on a hard packed Georgia red clay track with stock 5B SS wheels.
All so any recommend set up information would be greatly appreciated.

I run in good ol Ky red clay alot. Id say go for the Hostile Mini MX V2s in hard compound. If you find yourself in looser conditions id try the Mini MX V2 up front and the Hostile Nightmare MXs out back. This pic shows the nightmare MXs with 16 tanks on them and you can also barely see a Mini Mx V2 front in the pic as well.

Wish there was as many choices as there are for 1/8 buggies for tires. The track was built for 1/8 scale but does have 15 foot lanes. I have run 1/8 scale on it will find out how 1/5 sale does. Been years since I ran 2 wheel drive off road so this is going to be interesting to say the least.[X(]

RE: Baja 5B SS tires for racing
I am old as dirt but feel like a 10 year old. I just found out about another guy building a 1/5 scale track here in Georgia. I LOVE TO RACE even thaw I am not real good at it and all most legally blind but I all ways have fun.
