I suggest starting with the 6 degree radial rears part # RRR06, and I'd go with the 15 degree Front Slicks # RSF15 Title: Re: New guy with new car Post by: briankstan on January 13, 2010, 07:54:28 PM oh, and your welcome to setup a gallery on this website to host you mini-z pictures. :angel:
Title: Re: New guy with new car Post by: Adams on January 13, 2010, 08:51:15 PM sounds good, yea bring the stuff to the next race. Looks like this saturday ;D
ill start with the tires you recommend. i dont really know what they drive like on a track. I have only driven mine around my kitchen on tile. It seems to have too much oversteer. Im sure tires will change that a lot tho. I think some aluminum lock nuts would be nice to have too. the little plastic ones seem like they could strip easy.

Bring you car and we are going to have a good time for sure. Set up starts at 9AM and we'll be racing around 10AM.
