traction tips
 

i know this is kinda weird, but do you guys have any good tips for increasing traction without buying awd? i am running on lonlium and i keep slideing out. driving tips would be helpful too.:D

soften the tires by soaking them in WD40 for a while

k sounds kinda different. for how long? what corn feild by the way do you live in, because we have alot around here?

You should try the tire upgrade kit to increase traction.

Get the tire upgrade kit and put the soft tires on the rear. Leave the medium stock tires on the front and see how that goes. I race on a fairly slick surface, and I hve to mop the hell out of it to remove any dust. I usually get a crappy towel really damp (like get it wet and wring it out) and then wrap it around the head of a pushbroom. Cleaning the floor makes a bigger difference than the tires, but the soft tires in the tire upgrade do work.

ok, the floor is pretty dirty so that could help. the next upgrad i am going to get is the awd so i am not going to ge the tires. what if i just soak the rear tires in wd40? does that realy make a big difference ?

overnight

i live in west Kentucky:)

soften the rear suspension by one step, it may help

ok sounds good.

try spraying them with a little bit of Prestone Brake Cleaner. that makes a big difference

swiffer sweeper!

I use one before every run. You'd be amazed how much dust and hair is still there after sweeping with a normal broom.

also try the soft treaded tires

Amen to that!

Instead of WD-40, Brake Cleaner, or anything else, try Sunscreen! (Seriously!)

You might want to look at grooved or patterened tyres , as opposed to slicks, especially if your surface is naturally dusty/hard to clean. I know there are lots available for the Mini-Z & Mini-x, so I presume you can try these on your xmod....

I like what the soft treaded tires do for my car, but in sharp turns, the tires literally come off the rims and then jam up in the wheel well. I may have to go with the hards, which are less malleable and won't peel off the rims in sharp turns.

ok i will try some of the ideas. thanks alot guys.

By, the way what type of dog do you have?
