Mini Spike 2: Tips & tricks needed
Hi all,
I am from Belgium and we switched this year over to Mini Spike 2. Could somebody tell me what the tips & tricks are to get them work the best for a 4*4 (Cat SX)? We are racing mainly on Astroturf. Which insert to use? How to cut the inserts (if needed)? Which compound to use when? How to glue the tyres? Which wheels to use? Which spikes to cut (if any)? Sorry for a lot of questions but just want to be sure that I get the maximum out of my tyres. Thanks, Kusal |

yellow in the dry, green in the wet. Medium insert. for a Cat you usually want to cut at least the outside row off the front, but maybe more rows, inside and outside, and maybe even some off the rear, to prevent grip roll. Depends how grippy your astro is.
use thin super glue and just peel back the tyre slightly and run a thin bead of glue along the ridge of the tyre. rotate the wheel a bit and repeat, make sure it's glued all the way round.

Thanks Jim,
So you are not mixing compounds up (blue front, yellow rear) to get some more understeer or is this a no-no! Also which inserts to use? Schumacher Tubby, Losi, Rymart, Mr. O, ... Sorry for all the questions but thanks in advance |
