I run 1/32nd slotcar beside the micro rc stuff.The stock Race Tin tires are made of some kind of Vinyl that's why you get no traction.I was thinking why not see if one of the Ninco slip on rubber tires would fit over the stock rims on the Race Tins.They do and the traction is great and the tires only cost $4.00 for 4 tires.The tires look too small but they stretch because they are nice soft rubber:DThe stock Audley Race Tin tire is on the left and the Ninco slotcar tire is on the right.The Ferrari has the Ninco tires on the rear.

THATS WHAT I NEED/WANT~!! :D
also heard that using foam tires from the mini tamiya slot cars work well too..but im not too sure how foam would do on tile

doode i think i figured out a way to get better traction with faster motors on concrete...
youll need some high grip tires on the rear, and decent traction on the front....
this is so that the rear doesnt swing out as much on concrete and youll get ALOT better handling
seems to work better than all high grip.....
