Brandon!!! What you been doing lately, man? I haven't seen you there in a while.

I tried a set of JC Barcodes in blue compound for the first time last night, and they worked awesome. They are softer than Pink BKs but harder than DDs, forward bite is slightly less than the BKs, but side bite in my opinion is comparable to BKs. They are considerably more forgiving than BKs when you drift out of the groove.

I tried them unbalanced and w/out tire grip when the track was dusty and they still worked really good. When the track was swept and traction came up, I used tire compound and they worked even better.

Add these tires to the growing list of tires that will work at RCHR.

Freddy,

JC will soon release a Barcode 2.0 tire that is an exact BK clone. Initially they will be available in green, but other compounds will follow. I think they will work very well at RCHR. They also have a new 2wd front tire called "the rips" that is a 3 rib and Carver front SC tire.

I am really liking barcodes on my short course but will be getting a set of carvers when they are released. Really going away from the sc style but we have already made them into basically stretched stadium trucks anyways.

Hey Mark when are you expecting the Molded foams??

I will ! I actually enjoy just watching you guys! It was fun

What's up Derek! I actually sold all my stuff cause I hit a financial difficulty. But I'll still be around, if u hand me your car for a week Ill set it up and show you how to take down a win with it

As long as the track is dry, I really like Barcodes. Nice forward bite, and they still let the car get a rotate in the corners.

Double Dee's are stuck to the track, and I don't like the feel of them until they wear down in the center pretty good. Same thing with Flipouts. I ran the entire Grand Prix on an almost bald set.

I've used Gold Barcodes, and they're inconsistent in the turns, but decent under power. I have a set of blues that I've yet to glue up, and I'd like to see these Barcode 2.0 tires as well.

Have any of you guys run Losi's red compound? Noticeable difference over the pink at our track? Which do you prefer?

A week or so, both Great Planes and Horizon Hobby are out of stock currently and expecting them within a couple days.

Red compound is hard as heck, you would really need to flame and compound after every run. If you ran them as is, they'll feel like driving on ice....

Red is softer than pink.

Hey Lamar,

I have a set of almost new set of Red Bks mounted on B4 wheels that you can try, they are sitting on the shelf where the rest of my tires are, they are marked on the inside of the wheel.

If you want to try them with some compound on them go for it, I'm not going to be using them.

if he is not interested,, i run reds,, and my car uses b4 wheels!

I had pink and red for the RB5, rED HAD NO FORWARD BITE OR SIDE BITE WHATSOEVER, as soon as I used pink, I had more grip. Some sites show Red as softer, and other show them as Harder....If you feel them out of the package , Pink is tackier and softer than red
