| Tires are an important part of your car
and have a great influence on its performance. In combination with the
wheels, weight, diameter, and width should be considered according to the
type of course you are running.
Difference in Diameters Small diameter: Good for a quick start, but not for top speed. Small diameter tires lower the center of gravity and helps your car corner better. Large diameter: Good top speed and suitable
for straightway. Better shock absorbing for bumpy course joints.
Difference in Width Wide tires: Provide stability during cornering. Good for technical courses with up-hills, curves, and ups-and-downs. Narrow tires: Good for straight-way courses.
Less drag on the motor and may have the advantage of longer run times.
Difference in Material Rubber: Included in the snap kit. They
weigh more than the sponge type, but useful for jumps and lowering the
center of gravity. Sponge: Weighs less than rubber type but with lower
grip characteristics. Reston: Lighter than the regular sponge type and
better gripping. Good speed stretch. Can be used for all kinds of wheels.
Use transparent tape to clean sponge type
tires. Clean rubber type tires with an eraser and remove the eraser pieces
with tape.
