Keep hearing tyre wear on carpet is lethal whats it like there with the different types of surfaced carpet???
I'm thinking you might want some carpet tyres rather than the usual AKA rubber?? Normally Schumacher carpet tyres. Mini pins or staggers, I think even metro hobbies still has heaps left over from AA days, even truck and SCT I'd reckon.
Thanks John for the heads up went there today money spent =

turning into the cost of doing nitro for two days especially when not going to use again but not whining, just have to somehow justify the cost to the missus and after doing this sport for soooo long now, I think I used the RC MANS WIFE EXCUSE BOOK pointers to many times now so Ive decided to take it like a man and

FIND ANOTHER EXCUSE

Yeah, still running with TD. Wish I could claim that driving as my own, it's one of the local fast guys, haha.
Prolines only offers the z3 compound for their carpet tires and wear isn't excessive on our track.
I've been running the same SC tires since last year but buggy classes go through them a bit quicker. Up to 3 club meets according to Sam Wells.
For 2wd buggy, pin point rears and wedge squared fronts are Prolines offering.
A few guys also run the wedge on the front of their 4wds for a less aggressive tire, otherwise its pin points.
