Tyres/Wheels

Will 28mm sedan wheels fit on a XXXS G?

I don't think you need to go that wide Kev - I raced mainly with 24mm wheels, but if grip were low at formby, I found that 26mm on the back made a big difference

will prob rub the front a arms on full lock.... why do you want to go that wide?

edited for damn text speak... i should know better, it annoys the hell out of me.... ::)

[LisaKeen]

yes why 28mm? Indors I run 26mm foams at the most and 24mm on rubber.

ive never tried 5th scale wheels on my car before lololoollolololololo

al ;D

Thanks guy's, I think.
It was just that i ordered some 24mm trued and Glued wheels/tires by phone from a certain hobby store, however, i rec'd 28mm. As i am lazy i just though that if i could use them it would save me the hasstle of sending them back.

I do have another question though:
Our club will inevitably be building an outdoor tarmac track, as i have never driven on anything other than carpet before i would like to know wht tires and inserts to get

[burgie]

kev - don't worry about tyres/inserts until the track is built. Only when the track is laid will we be able to work out which tyres work, and even then it will take a couple of race meetings to see which combination offers the best wear rate. The simple thing is to follow what the fast guys use at the first race meeting.

But remember - we don't have permission to build the track yet, we are waiting for Lord Ronnie Fearn to put his seal of approval on things - then we have to get quotes and get the track built, so it might be sometime off yet.

Cheers Chris - But as you saw on Sunday i shouldn't copy the fast guys as i lose my bottle and i end up taking my car home in a bag.

tarmac tyres, to be honest, CS27's will be good everywhere...

Kev - its all down to practice. You need to be confident in your car to get it round like Baz did! The more practice you have, the better it will get. You haven't done 5 races with it yet, so don't worry. Confidence is the key - take my b4 for example. no confidence in it and qualified 8th in the A. XXX? well confident with it, finished 3rd in the A . . .
