Well I used to run the 52mm trued down Gecko's in 37 compound. These work well on the carpet, and give the car very stable handling in the air. They wear okay as well, although some others run slightly softer tyres on the rear to reduce steering, and slim the front tyres down in width as well.
Another good tip is to round the edges, which makes the handling smoother. HTH Mark -------------------- ::Phat Bodies Chunk C2 - Tekin RS ESC - Spektrum Micro Rx - Novak 380 10.5 - Vampire Hardcase Lipo - Paint by Turnip::

HTH Mark  Excellent advice from Mark on using Geckos. one slight change is I think Mark means the 58mm (not 52mm) trued down Geckos which are the 'low profile' Electric Gecko tyres on the 50mm diameter wheel. See www.adamsracing.co.uk/tyres for more product information. Thank you for giving the Geckos a go. Richie |
