Does anyone know if the track will be open for practice on Thursday and Firday as it was last year?

Tyres
 
I've just entered the Petit race, should be a great meeting.

Normally indoor on carpet I'd be running the yellow Mini Pin but I notice the controlled tyre brand is Dboots. I don't have any experience with those so could anyone offer any advice as which is the best tyre and compound to run for 2 and 4wd?

Thanks.

A tyre we have been working on specifically for the Euro indoor scene. The tyre has proved really good in testing. They've been run on numerous tracks on the Prima Felt GT carpet. Those who have seen them know how good they are.
As confirmed the control tyre are the dBoots Nanobyte tyre.

Ok cool, thanks. I thought I'd seen on the Petit site something about an open choice of the range, but I am mistaken.

I assume there's also a controlled compound then?

Thanks very much.

Copied from the Petit website:

Tyres : ONLY Dboots tyres (front & rear) - Nanobyte tyres recommended


So yes it would appear you can use any dBoots tyre.

dBoots tyres can be bought from www.rcdisco.com or you local model shop.

I dont think the Nanobyte tyre's are on sale yet, but would imagine something will be announced asap and they should be available on the day.

Hi All,

Really looking forward to this event. I'd just like some information about the tyres.

Is the Dboots control tyre only for the drive axle, so a free choice on 2wd front?

And the recommended tyre is the Nanobyte, when is that going to be in the shops, still no information on RC disco's website. It'd be nice to do some practice with this new tyre before the event.

Also is there a list of driver confirmed, I've noticed some drivers that are listed on the Petit site are also listed as attending Area 51?

Thanks.

http://www.dboots.com/news/ seems you only need them on the driven wheels

andy110m 21-12-2011 04:34 PM
I'm sorry to bang on about tyres but what dboots compound is everyone planning to get, I assume B?

I'm really suprised there isn't more discussion about this upcoming event

Steve.T 21-12-2011 09:58 PM
Whatever tyres you decide to use it cannot be nanobytes as I can't find them for sale anywhere
