So I going to switch fom AKA to Proline. From some advice the AKA tires foams are too stiff making my buggy to bouncy.

I am going to try the Proline Bow Ties.

Question

Should I run the V3 (wider tires) on the back and front or just the backs.

Does the V3 fit the same wheel or is it a special wheel. I am a fan of the kyosho wheels and would like to stay with them will the v3 fit these rims?

What compound is the best? I am thinking the M3 super soft?

Thanks everyone

Don't run v3. If you race a ROAR race they are illegal.
M3 are great for racing. For practice I would run m2.
If you do want to run V3 run them in the back. That's what they were made for.
V3 tires fit V3 rims only. Can't use kyosho rims.

Am I dislexic or are you really switching from AKA to Proline?

you do know that you can get different inserts for your tires right?

keep the AKA's and soften up the suspension on your buggy

If you want less traction in the rear, put a slightly worn set of AKA's in your rear. I'm not sure why you'd go back to proline

Another option would be to cut the used AKA foams out of a set of old tires and mount the used foams in a new set. The foams will be slightly softer.

I've got foams that have been in atleast 5 sets of tires.

No offense... I have to ask.
Do you have air holes in the tires or wheels? AKA's Rock

If you liked the City Blocks, you will love the Calibers. 3 rounds of qualifying, and 1 main and they are still work great.

True, AKA's are essentially the best tire manufacturer out there, I do wish they would make 2wd tires as well not just 1/8 scale

No I dont have air holes. Will this soften them up? The problem I am having is dont have enough grip. Going into turns and hitting bumps the whole back end bounces around. I am running green springs Losi 8 B in back with a very soft suspension set up.

If I should put air holes how do you do it and how many? It just seems that the cityblocks that I am running are very hard. It feels like there is a tube inside and they are extremley firm.

Dont get me wrong. I love the feel, the way they mount and the quality is 2nd to none. They just seem to firm for the track I run.

Yeh just did some research. I guess I missed the whole you absoloutley have to have holes cause your the only one that dosent.

Question. Gonna put two holes in each tire 180 degrees apart. They are already mounted. Should I just use a drill with a small drill bit or should I just punture them with a phillips screw driver.

How big should the hole be?
