James Racing Tire Prep/Gluing Tips
1. Use non-chlorinated brake cleaner or Alcohol to clean bead of tire. 2. Dremel wheel bead. This gives it a good bonding surface. Clean after dremel with above cleaners mentioned above. 3. Use loctite professional glue. 4. Enjoy! What James Racing Tires are compared to in other brands: PL suppressor - Y-Zip PL lockdown - Revenger PL fugetive - Defenders PL blockade - Y-Zip or Revenger PL switchblade - Wasper Dot Evo works on wet or dusty tracks and every track condition. Wasper is like a Hole Shot/Buck Shot. I-Blocks are amazing on dusty blue grooves. X-Cross is like a Bow Tie. The rubber wears like iron and the SS compound is close to a M3 PL and if sauced with PB Blaster, feels like a M4. The 5 rib inserts are like Dirt Techs so they don't break down fast like PL foams do.

Use SS for low grip, Soft for high grip, and Medium for extreme/abrasive grip levels.

We got a shipment in yesterday. There are all new compounds for 2019 forward.
Super Soft (M4) - same as before, compare to JConcepts Green
Soft (M3) - now harder then before, a noticeable difference from SS. Feels like a SLW
Medium (m2) - firm compound, same as before
The new soft is now right in between Super soft and medium.
So use SS for low grip, soft for medium grip, and medium for high grip/abrasive tracks.

I want to order some Waspers from Dialed but I can't add them or any other product to my cart. What's going on?

Tech Rookie
Hello Guys,
I need some help to find the right tires. On my local Track the AKA I-Beam in Super Soft work very well on my Truggy. Other Buggy-Guys are running Schumacher Mini Pin but I can't get them now, so I would like to try some James Racing.
The Track is full covert with Hockey/Tennis Carpet.
So I'm not sure what tire is the best. I think the Dot Evo or X-Cross can work.
I hope you can help me...

Got my two full sets of Waspers for RC Pro today and they feel good! I got soft and medium. Can't tell that big of a difference but the wheels, rubber, and foams feel good. Hope they work well at the track this week.

So far I've tried the I-Block in Super Soft and Defenders in Soft. I found the Super Soft gets loose after a few laps in the heat we have, but both tyres have been great on our hard pack, sometimes dusty tracks.

Proline comparison
Hello,
I was hoping to get some help on tire comparison. I have been running proline buckshot and holeshot in the S3 and M3 compound. What James Racing tires would compare to these?

James Wasper Soft, depending on track conditions, the James tires would be faster for me than S3 Buckshots, just be sure to prep the tires properly so they don't come unglued. James is a pinch harder compound and go significantly faster if you get a blue groove, it's almost like cheating! I'd have to go with a thicker front sway bar to prevent traction rolling!

Waspers are not always better, conditions have to be just right, if the track is green and hasn't grooved up yet then buckshots tend to go a pinch faster. Be sure to check your beads after every run, Waspers tend to need to be spot glued periodically because the extra traction puts a lot of stress on the beads. I learned to run slightly thicker center diff so the front tires would balloon less and minimize chance of throwing a tire. Some guys a few posts up were showing some glue that will never release the beads, but you won't be able to recycle the wheels in acetone.

S=X3
M=M2
Waspers are better on grooved tracks. On loamy or loose dusty tracks try Dot Evo.

the SS felt to me like an X4 personally.
The Dot evos are a nice all around tire, even when stuff got more hard packed out here they were a consistent tire to go to if you got out of the line. Wish I had them in the Soft as they would have been killer.
