With the RC-10 modified for racing and fully decked out with a custom paint job, this model is ready to race. But first, Chris Chianelli gets some advice from Pro-Line (TM) rep and and racing-tire specialist Scott Hughes on the various tires available for these racers.
- The "bowtie" tire (figure A) was chosen for the rear of our racer. This tire is ideally suited for a hard-packed racing track with a little loose or "fluffy" surface. It is also a long-wearing tire.
- A ribbed-front tire (figure B) was selected for the front of the racer. This style is better suited than pin-types for the front axle, providing better grip in a wide variety of racing situations.
- All-terrain tires (figure C) are good all-purpose tires, suitable for asphalt, dirt or mud. This style can be used on both the front and rear axles.
- The street tire is designed specifically for optimum performance on asphalt, concrete or other hard surfaces (figure D).
These various styles of tires available allow you to customize your stadium truck to optimize traction and handling performance whether you're racing on dirt track, street or all-terrain surfaces like gravel, pine needles, etc.
