I have r/c crap everywhere it seems. Found this in the shed earlier. Circa 1993 I would guess. I pay less now than I did then!

I used to love the TQ orange tire compound. Was a nice change of pace from Wintergreen headaches we used to get every weekend.

I still have a bottle of that TQ8+ in my pit box from at least 10 years ago. It still smells and works the same as when it was new.
I tried the Trinity stuff, Zip Grip maybe?, in the bingo marker bottle once, but it didn't work like the Racer's Choice.

so never i got into pan cars and having no idea about set ups and tricks, this compound basically makes the traction better by softening the tires and making them sticky

Basically. Well, that and the 3 gallons of Mello Yello I had to spray on the track each race day…but technically that was 5 years prior.

so you stick the cars to the track with a two part system mellow yellow on the track and the compound on the tires

CRC Marine bearing grease. Best thing ever, hands down. At least for Dirt Oval
And Oil of Wintergreen bought at a pharmacy

i've used pro blend's hot laps 2 already for r/c tires. it is for full sized cars and i have some left from my dirt oval karting days and it works very well on schumacher mini-pin blue truck tires. i had every one scratching their heads for years at the track trying to figure that one out. softens them up real nice but than again there semi hard to start with and until a few years ago they would not ship yellow truck tires to the u.s. for some reason. on any other tire the stuff would probably eat through todays thinner softer rubber.

I think I still have an old can of Paragon Ground Effects kicking around someplace from my pan car racing days in the '90s.
