definitely high tire wear with ions. But, as will said, they are money for the races when there's tread on them. They're my "a-main" tires.
Pressure Points have held up well on my 17.5 SC and Buggy. Not too bad on my ST when I ran a 13.5 in it. Got a full indoor season last year out of all 3 sets and if the foams hadn't broken down I would have run them this year for a while too.
Now for the ugly. I shredded a set of new narrow wishbones in a single night in 4wd SC. Ions on my 4wd buggy are looking haggard too after only one race day.
I think it boils down to how much wheelspin an individual vehicle can create. In lower powered applications these tires may make sense for you. High powered, maybe not so much.

Trev, sorry for the miscommunication at the end of the night John decided to forgo racing sat morning and instead get started. Its going to be a complete overhaul so it will probably take he and his crew both days. I'll post about wnw on Mon night
Was some real good racing in 4wd buggy Reinaldo...john and Eric w are both real fast with those xrays. Ed and phu were also real fast with the b44.2. If you watch the video John and I were battling and he jumped and landed on my roof, and ed picked a fine time to leave me loose wheel lol...either one plus Erik or phu could have taken it. Poor puma has seemed to scare away all competition in 17.5 buggy and he had to run with the 4wds but still was fast. Bert had his new 22-4 that car looks pretty sweet...
Sounds like you guys had some fun. As you know, I have to be in work early on most Thursdays. Otherwise, I could have been there to give Puma a run for his money in 17.5 buggy.
Whatever did happen to the 17.5 buggy class? Most or all of the 17.5 SC guys have a 17.5 buggy...

17.5 or mod, i don't care. all i care about is running my buggy.
i tried sc trucks, not my thing at all.
i tried 4wd buggy, holy crap too fast for this guy.
2wd buggy fit just right. lol
next week, or the following depending if WNW runs next week, i plan on having 3 2wd buggys with me, vintage, rear motor and a mid motor.

By, they way. Will/John, can you make sure you put in my middle name into the racing computer? It's Will. So, my full name is, "Phu Will Huynh" (Huynh's pronounced "hwin"). So, when I TQ, you need to announce on the video, "And your TQ is Phu Will Huynh. lol
Good times in 4wd buggy, really enjoying that class. Picked up some new front tires, the baldies just weren't working for me to well.

lol. well played. I forgot to apply my special tire sauce when you last beat me. I get it from this russian guy on rctech named, Yuri Nater. The tires are real wet initially, but it drys quickly. You don't even need a heat gun. It comes in this unlabeled plastic cup. I can give you some next time.
