i've heard of people taking those foam pen grips and slicing off a section and using those as tires. It sounds alright, just need to measure it right.

your choice.

Have you tried any of the tire compounds they use on the 10th scale racers?

it seems like you have the bit racer or microsizer tire set. To get stickier tires, get the bit char-g colored tire set. They have pink/red tires that are very soft.

I think the reds are the stickiest.

agreed. i also have the microsizer tire set and found that the tires that originally came with the car are the softest and stickiest.

ive got som egel type pen grips, i bet if you found som eand cut your own tipres they would be able to climb walls

the texture is kind alike those sticky hands u get @ the store but they r not greasy they r just soft REAL soft.

19psivolvot5r, is that your Volvo? If so, is that scoop from a Subaru 2.5RS or Outback Sport? It looks strikingly similar to the scoop on my RS.

i forget the brand name but there is this stuff that comes in a bottle that is rubber restorer or whatever and it softens tires. i put some on one of my cars last night and i noticed right away a difference. i wasnt peeling out nearly as much.
