Tamiya mini cooper

I think the idea is to keep mini class different, if you allow touring car shells to run then it becomes just a touring car class so why bother having it. There are already 5 other classes catering for that.

the difference is the grip
standard tyres are ok, M-grips have Medium Grip, S-tyres have Super Grip .. well maybe not super, better then M-grip anyway
I had a competition yesterday in our Belgian Tamiya Competition. Everybody had problems with rear traction (also other classes) ... I ended up with M-grips in the front and S-grips on the rear and that worked just fine.

bam, tire grip depends on surface. asphalt usually A, S, M. carpet usually M, S, A. but if you can get good handling with S, better as wear is good. type A do not last long on asphalt/concrete.

I also tried the A-slicks this weekend, and the S-grips still performed better on the carpet.
One thing I know for sure: on asfalt, when raining: best tyres are brand-new A-slicks (they may never have been treated with additive.)
I do not know why. I should have thought the M and S-grip who have some profile, should perform better on moist surface.
But it was a trick a well-experienced Tamiya-pilot told me and it really works.

well, there you go, ... proves you really have to test.

Guys,
Which inserts goes well with the S-grip and M-grips? the Tamiya black sponge hard one?
edit: searched more throughly, looks like the 60D insert and a cut up touring car insert.
How do the S and M grip stack up against X-patterns for asphalt, in terms of handling and durability?
