I usually drive with UFRA 40's in the front and 35's in the rear. As you say, minimum wear and great reaction. I will try the 38's this year in the front.

Great tires!!!

Cool, good to see the old stuff get a new life.

Protoform still make the 905B body, so you should be able to order one at your local Protoform stockist. I've seen one at Oz RC in Brisbane.

You can order Team Saxo bodies direct from them, but postage is a killer.

There are a few 235mm bodies available here also, but I haven't gotten a postage quote -

Thanks Scott for the info. I have an old Protoform P35 which is getting a bit long in the tooth!

Cheers

Blinky 10.5 is very good compromise!

I put a little bit of boost and turbo because i have to battle with a 4.5t powered foam touring.... and I usually win

Can't wait to test my pro10 in a very large and open track maybe with a 5.5 or 10.5 with more boost and turbo.

Unfortunately here in italy all people buy 200mm but I only like 235mm .... i'm so strange...!!!

@Moraccio......Yes you are
Come over to us and enjoy the races with the 235MM Pro10's
@ Wazza22........ The P35 is still a nice body to run.
It has a bit less steering tho but that can be corrected by changing setup.

Regards Roy

Roy, one question if I can: during my very little experience with pro10 I suddenly realized that paragon is the best (in my opinion of course..) additive for foam tires, but unfortunately is not odourless so i discovered spider grip orange which is very very good and so closed to paragon, but.... is specifically for rubber tires and not for foam, so how can I modify it (density) to be more liquid and useful for foam?

What kind of additive do you use usually? (of course I perfectly know that each track has a different grip etc. etc, but I'd like to understand if there is an additive which can be used quite everywhere with satisfaction....!! )

thank you so much.

Gabriele

I use 3 types of tire fluid and they are suited for most tracks in the Netherlands.
For colder days i use Speedtech Foam Liquid as it is very thin and works perfect on high grip tracks like my home circuit.
If it is hotter i use spidergrip red.
It is a bit thicker but has a good performance true out the complete heat.
For some tracks i use the old Corally TC5.
It is thick and i use tire warmers when i use it but you can put in on the tires before you start the race day and leave it on without your tires getting all moosi.
When applied i set the warmers on 35 to 40 degrees and dry them about 5 minutes before heat.
Great grip
For maintenance of the tires i clean them after every race with some detergent that you use for doing the dishes in a low warm water and after that wrinse then clean with low warm water and let them dry naturaly without extra heat or sunlight.
This will let you use the tires for a long time without grip loss.
Also after cleaning, store your tires in a dark closed box.
They don't dry out.
Last but not least, don't use your tires more then 1 time a day as with the next time applying tire sauce the tires are getting really soft and tend to chunk.
I use for every heat a different set so i don't have any problems or excessive tire wear.

Hi Roy,

Thanks for the tips! I am going to try the Protoform 905B as I quite like the look of it!

One down note on that body is that it has a short wheelbase.
Be carefull how you place it on the car
For the rest it is a nice body.

Regards Roy

From memory the Trinity has a reasonably short wheelbase, definitely shorter than the 10L2 I used to own. Hopefully I will be able to mount it suitably.

Cheers
