I'm in the same position as you, having recently invested in a CEFX Pheonix (t-bar) as well as my trusted speedmerchants.
Quick question for you asphalt racers. What's a good starting tire combination to use for 1s Lipo racing...prefer to use Jaco Prism's as track width is set for Jaco's.
Will likely go to the Region 2 electric outdoor regionals and prefer to keep tire cost at a minimal. I was thinking Lilac / Pinks?
I was testing different Jaco compounds this past Fri on asphalt. I started with dpl pink all around, then tried combos of pink, and dpl pink rears with purple, lilac, and dpl pink fronts. In all those combos I still liked dpl pink front and rear best. I'm going to try some grey rears next time out. I found that with small changes I could get all these combos to work ok but the dpl pinks seemed to give the best consistant feel and the best tire wear. This was with my BMI car, the track had very good grip and ambient temps were 110 F, was'nt able to take a temp of the track but I'm sure it up there.
