what is the best tire combo......ive been trying many combos because wen i floor it my car will always just spin out........i cant figure out why....i need help!!!!!!

bwsk8 03-30-2003 12:05 PM

Personally I use pullback wheels in the back and johnny lightning wheels in the front.

Bit Char-G red tires work very well in controlling spinouts.

bobarooskie7 03-30-2003 12:11 PM

The problem is those are actually Bit Racer tires. The compounds used to make those tires are significantly harder than what Bit Char-G tires need to be.

(I bought that MicroSizers tire set before I knew this, so don't sweat it.)

What would work exceptionally well is the Bit Char-G Setting Parts Set GS-07. It has red, purple and light blue tires. They are excellent, and the red tires really are quite sticky. Even the hardest of these is softer than the softest Bit Racer tire, I believe.

Here's a link to the set I am speaking of.

Red tires in back
 
I put the red ones in back so that I don't spin, but I put the blue ones in front so that I don't flip at high speeds. Adjust your tires to the surface your on -- try different combos. I race on smooth masonite, and I need the red tires in back. Hard wood floors are even worse if they have been finished/refinished recently; without soft tires in back it's like driving the drifting axle.

t hanks that helped alot

bwsk8 03-30-2003 04:31 PM

By some nos in a spray bottle for 1/10 scale nitro remote controll cars and spray it on the tires you will have tons of traction.

bobarooskie7 03-30-2003 05:37 PM

i think im gonna try that...............wen i try new combos it works AWESOME for like 5 mins then all of a sudden it'll start spinning out

mc2wheels 03-30-2003 05:46 PM

Gotta clean the tires
 
Tires accumulate dust -- just roll the cars on masking tape after a few races to get the dust off.

bobarooskie7 03-30-2003 05:58 PM

after it starts spinning out i usually just wipe it off but then after 5 mins it still spins out.........and its a pain to keep on cleaning it off

What you want is the softest tire set without spin outs. Try out the softest tire combo by putting on your softest tire on all 4. You will probably flip over od do a super fast and sharp turn. If it is doing that, put harder tires on front. Keep un getting harder in front until it works well. If you cant turn sharp enough, make the back tires harder so it kind of slides like drifting. On my dual cell fs mod, stock tires in back and soft treaded in front work best.

bobarooskie7 03-30-2003 06:35 PM

thats the combo i have on it right now it still spins out

bobarooskie7 03-31-2003 03:40 PM

anyone?????

mc2wheels 03-31-2003 04:20 PM

Which combo do you have right now?
 
Are you saying you have the red tire on right now? Be specific -- both front and back. Also what surface are you racing on?

hogjowlz 03-31-2003 04:22 PM

On hardwood you need soft tires
 
Have you tried the red set yet?

bobarooskie7 03-31-2003 04:46 PM

no i need to buy them...every1's tellin me to................................................ .. and hogjowls..... wut wuz the point of that

mc2wheels 03-31-2003 05:08 PM

Try some experimenting
 
You have two choices:
1) race on different surfaces
2) mess with the tires

1 -- hard wood is the worst. It's like ice racing. Try other surfaces. Get some asphault roof paper and race on that or some old linoleum or outdoor carpetting.

2 -- if you can't get the soft tires anytime soon, get the microsizer tire set and put the hard ones on your front tires. Or, get one of those pens with a funky rubber grip and try making your own back tires. Or try making the back tires sticky. Maybe with hairspray or rubber cement.

You know what the problem is. Now try messing with stuff until you like it. That's true spirit of micro RC.

hogjowlz 03-31-2003 05:16 PM

again you could get pullback wheels. they are a lot wider and grip much nicer than the skinny wagon wheels that come with bits.

bobarooskie7 03-31-2003 06:45 PM

wut r pullback wheels???

hogjowlz 03-31-2003 06:47 PM

here

mc2wheels 03-31-2003 06:49 PM

They are not RC cars
 
They are the kind of cars that you pull backward and let go. But they're made by Tomy, so the bodies work for Bits. Also the back tires are wider than bit tires. You can take them apart and build them onto bit axles for better handling. Or you can buy them pre modded at:

mc2wheels 03-31-2003 06:58 PM

Rims Special #1

bobarooskie7 03-31-2003 07:10 PM

o those r them, those look really cool......wut bout rims special #2 those r awesome

mc2wheels 03-31-2003 07:16 PM

They don't look as wide
 
The wide tires in back is what helps you stop spinning. More surface area = more traction.

But they sure do look cool! You should search these forums for custom tires and look on the qfm site for info on making your own tire. I know someone posted a howto for making the pull back tire mod.

bwsk8 03-31-2003 10:29 PM

Why dose it have to be on pullback rims wouldnt any rims work if you mod the car?
