Are the silver compound going to come in anything other than buggy tires?
Nothing planned at this time, just buggy.
I have a RB6 mid motor 2WD buggy. I race on a small technical, indoor clay track with med-high traction that gets a dust layer throughout the heats.
Currently running Pro-line Scrubs up front that are way too aggressive for me -- oversteer. Rears will be DIRT WEBS in clay compound.
I need a little less steering in my front tires.
Will Bar Codes or Dirt Webs be less aggressive than Scrubs? I'm leaning towards trusty Bar Codes... I'd like to stay JConcepts for this combo.
I think you are spot on with the trusty Bar Code front. That is our go to tire when we are looking for smooth/consistent steering. The Dirt Web is certainly more aggressive steering, but I can't compare to the scrub since I haven't ever run them.
JConcepts, should you browse this thread - can you please start doing this with all tires? I have a mountain of open cell foam that I'll never use, such a huge waste.
That is the plan, but its a long process. Also keep in mind that "closed-cell" inserts are triple or more the price to manufacture
