Why would you? how do the cars run? dont they slide around because of the slick foam?
Not with Kisslings strapped on. They are foam tires with belts of rubber pulled on real tight like a cap. Grip is real good. Elligi Aqua's are also real good in damp conditions and Pits D20 slicks actually work better on a slick greasy track than they do in the dry.
No reason not ot run in the wet. We do it most weekends
. Like I mentioned a few posts back, a couple of balloons, a lot of red candle wax and silcone sealer will keep you totally waterproof. You can even get special waterproof jackets for your Tx allow we find a simple plastic bag and clothes peg does the same job
Although it restricts the power a bit an INS box on the carb airfilter will help protect the engine. But then who needs all that power on a wet track anyway.
