PRO SECRETS

PRO SECRETS 

If you are going to race on-road rc touring cars with rubber tires,
you will need to budget some money for tires in order to be
competitive.

For example, a set of tires might be good for only 4 - 5 runs
(20 minutes of run-time) before they start losing grip. Although
the tire may look good on the outside and look far from being
worn out, their grip level is gone.

When racing, ask the fast racers how often they change tires.
You'll be surprised to learn that they probably use new tires
every race day.

If you're on a tight budget, you can try applying oil of wintergreen
to your old tires. Oil of Wintergreen can be bought in drugstores
and will help soften and increase the grip of old rc rubber tires.
