Im not Rob but I play him in on the internet....lol.

Here is how the tires break down

Pro Compound....Soft compound
D compound.......Harder compound

The D compound only comes 1 way and this is what we should use for the majority of summer time parking lot racing as they should hold up the best.

Pro's come in belted and non belted.....I ran the belted ones on carpet and I think this is where they will work best. If you race the Pro compounds outside and the track temp is high then you run the risk of really wearing them out fast because they are softer.

Also the D compound tires are the cheapest of the 3 types.....Only stock inserts should be used with all 3 compounds.

If ninja #37 comes thru for us, we will have something to top the Al's crew for less than the Tamiya big $$ sound unit.

We all know you have a rain button too. You just pushed it because your car is not ready yet.

Ninja #37?
