New Kyosho Dnano Sponge Tires

[SiRay6]

Hi,

Does anyone have any idea what these tires are good for? I'm thinking about picking up a couple sets to try?

For the fronts kyosho only has 20 and 30 (hardness rating) and only 20 for the rear.

Any idea what surfaces would be best with these tires?

RCP or HTU track, I guess we'll have to try them and see.

Foam tires are typically for carpet tracks.

i see...thanks for the reply guys....so HTU tracks only then? I haven't been to any HTU tracks.

Are they stickier than rubber? I was curious why they offer less compounds than rubber?

I went to Kyosho's Route 241 track last weekend, and their track is carpet.... there was a guy there running custom foam tires on his MR02 and his car was on rails.... the carpet on this track is the same as what's on the HTUSA tracks... I think it's Pytex carpet... I'm sure the dnano foams would have the same effect

nice

how was the track? Did you run your dnano? I hear they are having a race there soon?

How did rubber tires fare on the carpet versus the mini z with the foam?

Yea, that guy with the foam tires may be a guy named Bruce, he makes them and sells them.
