Aaron(W-W), check with MooCow at Trackside. He runs a Tamiya and can fill you in on what you need to do. 
Paul, it was stated "the heat of the day required a change for A2, Ryan switched to Orange Compound Double Dees in the front" at the 15th Annual Hot Rod Hobbies race for SC. What did the heat do to the track to justify this change?

Oh I don't know. I mean look at the double dees, and then look at the hole shots. They look so dissimilar (dissimilar means different) to one another that there is no way they would work in anything close to the same conditions. In case you couldn't tell, I was being sarcastic. I mean really? I guarantee that if you closed your eyes and had a friend of yours hand you a DD and a HS (both tires for the same type of vehicle, with the same foams and glued to a rim) that you would have a very very difficult time telling the difference between the two. I could see if the tread patterns were way different, but they are so close to the same thing, that one would have to be a dunderhead to think that they would not work in a similar manner, in the same conditions. I say again, really?

I have run both tires before and could never get a set of Hole Shots to hook up but love the DDs, so yes they are different

What foam were you running in the Hole Shots? What foam were you running in the DD'S? Have you ever run them back to back (same day, same track conditions)?

I've used both back to back with the same foams. They are very different. From the spacing of the lugs to the length of the lugs. Some track conditions demand a shorter lug. The tires are different. Are they similar? Yes. But they behave differently on the track. I prefer DD's.
