I saw that post on FB.

It'd be cool if they split the RC10/JRX generation from the B2/XX generation. Understand it's more work and all though.

It's a shame it's indoors though IMO, the outdoor track is really nice!

The b2/t2 has been legal since 2015.

I'm planing to run this year
Any one know what 2.2" tires that works best for 2WD

[scr8p]

That awesome Lars!

From what I heard they have been running slicks lately.

[lmw94002]

On the indoor it's typically been Electrons or Primes. I personally run Electrons on my B6D w/ a 17.5. Seems like most of the fast guys use primes.

Then again, I should caveat things with... I'm going for "fun", not necessarily fast. And I don't sauce. I don't race enough to worry about all that. I race to try to get better at driving and usually by the end of the day I'm happy turning more consistent and hopefully faster lap times due to practice and a little tuning.

Can the guys in classic with RC10 and JRX2 original tires get any traction? I do Ok with mine on indoor carpet offroad but lots of traction there. Curious about the old hard rubber tires on the clay?

[scr8p]

It doesn't sound like it.

[lmw94002]

Can you sauce? Might be better getting your most worn pair and saucing them.

[RCveteran]

I thought no saucing in the classic class? And I know nobody would ever cheat.

[scr8p]

No shaving down of spikes and no sauce.

How is it shaving if I only have the tires that I bash on the asphalt with? lol.

[scr8p]

Sound like you'll need to find a new pair of rear tires.

I guess someone showed up last year with basically bald kit tires and thought they'd be legal. Nope. I'm gonna knock the "newness" off of mine out in the street before I head up, but I won't be getting crazy with it.

Just a pair of scuffs... maybe take a little wire wheel on the dremel to rough 'em up...

[RCveteran]

But you guys are able to get traction with the old original tires, I am just curious really? I have a hard enough time on clay getting modern tires to work.

[scr8p]

From what I hear, no, there is no traction. It's more or less a drift competition with jumps.

But, you can run some old 2wd Tamiya car in the Classic class hopped up to the max and run modern rubber.
