40 to 42 fronts,

35 to 37 rears,

Ball diff up front is also a good idea,

G'day Gazza,

When you go to purchase your foam tyres, you can ask for foams for electric racing. These will be 26mm in width and then you ask for the shore/compound which is the hardness of the tyre. The harder compound is run on the front. The foam tyres come as a front and a rear. I purchased the ATS brand foam tyres for the ACT Titles.

For front as per Rod's post:

42F or 40F compound 26mm width

37R or 35R compound 26mm width.

You can get these tyres in 30mm width, however these will need to be trued to to the correct width.

Hope that helps.

Later

Calvin.
