Hi mate I'm in the uk running 1/8 buggy on astro turf we all use schumacher mini pins as standard but i also use fastrax cuboid tyres and wheels and i find them not a lot different but half the price which is pretty cool

We run similar tires here on Carpet. I wish we had astro here, It would help with all the track maintenance on dirt. It is kind of curious why Europe and the UK use Astro and in the USA and Canada you do not see it anywhere.

[@user-ry1jm9hw6w]

It's probably cos it never stops raining here... Astro is a great surface mud isn't, all the best mate

Your tires are what holds you to the track, if your tire game is wrong, you will have no success. The problem with practicing on worn tires is you don't know what changes to make if your car isn't handling. If you make changes to make your car handle on old tires, you are probably screwing your new tire set up. You don't want to be trying to get your car dialed in after the first qualifier. Any time you make changes to your set up, write it down. If it works in certain track conditions, you know what those conditions are and what changes to make. If you make the wrong changes, you know what to reverse to get back to your starting point.

Never make changes on your car without running the tires you will be running during the actual race. The only reason to practice on half worn tires is because you have only two sets and you are just starting to buy gear.

When it comes to racing are metal rims just a dumb idea? Or even allowed?

[@rc_nature]

They have alot more rotational mass than plastic, so most people don't use them. It is also harder to glue them to the rims. it would require bead locks. In theory a great idea, but just heavy.
