Its just the standard spring that comes with the associated center spring. It (6lbs) or a silver (8lb) will be about all you ever need with a Tplate car. Never ran any of Josh's bodies....So I dont know. He usually runs Protoforms or Parmas...so I would stick with one of those...LOL

What is a good size to true tires down to for club racing?

..

if you run crc high rollers you dont have to just run them out of the box.
but 48rear 46 front.

1.8" and 1.85" for High Rollers.

1.71" and 1.75" for regulars.

Fronts are the smaller, rears are the larger.

come to the metric side come come its not so bad.
the rest of the world is come come :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

For super high bite tracks as the snowbirds I ran 1 set of wraps in every qual and the main. 1.62 fronts and 1.70 rears. But thats not needed for club racing. The sizes JohnnyCarey posted is where I start for club racing.

How much racing foam is left on a 1/12 from wrap at 1.62? I usually take them off and start chuckin' them at people when mine hit just under 1.65

I do run on asphalt though...you cant make an 8 min run in 19T1/12 if you start with a 1.65 tire on asphalt.

My tires are at 1.605 fronts after running them in 4 quals and the main at the birds. Ive ran wraps down th 1.58 before....but thats about the limit.

Ok...just a noob question...what the heck are wraps? I've been a bit out of the loop with pan cars until recently and haven't seen this term before.

Its a harder inner foam below the 'racing' foam. That makes the tires have less flex due to less sidewall and the harder foam.

Ok thanks.

I haven't seen them sold like that when I first went looking for what wraps were...is this the same as the dual compound? To me dual compound is half the tire one compound the other half another or in rings. Or are wraps something people make on their own?

I use Speedmind tires. Since they are not wrap tires, I just run them to the ground. I hand sanded my front end blocks incridiblely low, until they are only 9 mm high. Yes, I'm frugal with my tires.

Wraps are a tire made by jaco. What they do is take a very hard foam and wrap the rim in it. For example on TC tires the rim runs 49mm, with the wrap of harder foam it brings it out to 53.5mm. Your tire actually starts then at 53.5mm. The harder foam under the regular foam allows the tire to not have as much bite and help free the car up alot. As well as give you more forward bite due to a bigger contact patch.

Parma has already released there version of 12th scale foam that has a larger rim, not sure the exact size on a 12th scale however there new TC tire has a rim diameter of 53mm making the wrap a thing of the past for parma users!
