$$ for the tires??

I am only aware of the buggy tires from Medial Pro... Where is some information about the on-road tires?

The IAS tires from Medial Pro have been around for years, both for 1/10th 190/200mm and 1/8th buggy/rally. You can see pictures of them on medialpro.com and on myhobbydepot.com (click to the Medial Pro IAS Rally page). The tires have a molded in honeycomb insert... I posted some info on the GT thread a few days ago.
The tires in stock are all on yellow dish wheels I believe..they used to come on white spoke wheels, but I think all we have now are yellow dish.
Cost is about $60/set of 4, preglued. Rich usually has good deals for racers at his events. I have only used these tires on my buggies when running on paved surfaces, and not in race conditions, but I am pretty certain they will hook up well and based on my experience on unprepared and course surfaces, I think you'll get excellent wear from them.
I imagine, much like 1/5th scale cars, these and other rubber tires will take a lap or two to build heat and work properly, so if you happen to run them, take it easy for a couple of laps before going full throttle. I'll post some photos here next week.

Rich, just curious if you've received my sign up sheet yet?
David MAson

And also, what kind of parts, if any, do you carry for K-cars?
Should we bring our own with us?

I've heard you are loaded with Mugen stuff 4 the MTX4's.

Casey,
It is better for you to get signed up now to save the late fee and to save time on Friday of the race. If you have to stand in line to get signed up instead of get track time thats no fun for anyone.

rich, what kind of count do you have for IGT cars so far?
I've heard 2 from there, and we have 4 gaurantees from here.

Just curious how many actual sign-ups do you have right now?

Sweeeet!

Honestly, this is the car I'm most excited about running there.

I may not have been making the trip without it.

I know you die-hard racers are groaning on that note. haha

Just wait til you see the grins on our faces when we run em on a track big enough to open em up!!

In addition to the Medial Pro tires, we'll have a host of Fioroni Option Team upgrade parts for the IGT cars. Most of these parts were made for the MP7.5, and bolt right on to this car. I think there will be at least 8 or 9 in this class.
