hey guys maybe you could help me out here. I am going to the jc national race the 1st weekend of oct I plan def racing b4.1 and t4.1 and have to decide which kit to build i have the sc4x4 and b44.1 sitting here with all the goodys... but main thing is i have to get my tire order in to jason asap.. I have been told barcodes are the jc tire but can you run it down for me.. If i remeber correctly jc said gold compound in the begining when the track has moisture and is wet and then blue or possible green compound as it drys and grooves? or i could be backwards.. and the say tire wear is hardly anything

1. could you explain the difference in the 2 barcodes in handling
2. Do i need traction compounds, if yes what kind, or should bring what kind just in case
3. Inserts for whats you opinions on them standard foam or mold and what company mold.. I did compare a set of JC molded buggy rear to proline buggy rear and the jc was a flater harder profile an the proline almost felt like a 2stage foam insert? wonder what aka is like...
4. Hopefully you guys could share any tips or tricks with me u use while racing at these kinda indoor tracks as im a fish out of water and learning a whole new manufactor/speedo/motors/tires/batts..
