Where can I get it? I m not from the states BTW. I would like to try those. For info I can get brands like Xceed, IDM, GQ , ATS, Matrix, GRP, Cheetah Club easily, either locally or ordering from webshop in my region.

So you mean, all the tyres perform the same?

You can win with them all. Its up to you to get your car to work well. See if the person locally can give you some info on what compound tires work well at the track you are going to.

Most of those you mentioned are all made by the same company, ATS.

GRP and GQ are two non-ATS brands.

Depends on which Xceeds. The US made Xceeds are Jaco. The Italian Xceeds are Enneti. The Japanese Xceeds are someone else.

IDM, Twister, RB, plus a bunch of others are all ATS made.

BSR and US Xceeds are Jaco.

GRP is GRP.

Team Kamikaze 09-19-2009 06:27 PM

Italian made XCEEDs are ENNETI, (not ATS)
Japanese XCEEDs are made by the same company that makes both the Red Box and the former Kawahara.
ATS makes IDM, RB Speedline, Twister, Cosmic, and many more.
Matrix is just Matrix.

wingracer 09-19-2009 06:37 PM

Interesting, I thought Matrix was ATS. Good to know.

dameetz 09-19-2009 07:21 PM

Thanks for the info guys.

Hey Monti, I think you better educate the public about BSR tires.

I'll call you later in the week.

Well man, If that's true I am just full of bad info aren't I. :D

I can't keep track of all this crud anymore. :D

dameetz 09-20-2009 06:28 PM

Can someone post a link to this BSR tyres? I don't think I ve seen one before.

Tony Rice 09-20-2009 07:35 PM

Another thing is the rim. Some rims have a different inset and will make the track width different. So it is best to stay with the same brand
(whatever you choose) unless you have a problem with them. Also, some rims get loose after running them. Trial and error.

This is the BSR web site http://www.johnsbsrracing.com/ however we do not up date as often as we should. I have attached a current pic of a rear tire which we use the serpent rim. We also use this style of rim in 200mm nitro racing. We make all of our tires in house and only OEM rims for certian types of racing.

Sam I would love too but that is why we have team drivers that should be doing it for us. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Wingracer, it's okay it happens from time to time. I do read a lot of incorrect information on these threads about tires and MGF's of tires. The RC tire industry is kind of a black art with a lot of producers wanting to keep information proprietary. Which is fine since other major MGF's like Coke, Pepsi, Chevy, Ford ect.... do the same. This leads to a lot of speculation from out side people which is understandable. I am not the first to say that everything on the internet is not true! HAHA
