The only thing that bothered me (aside from appearence) while driving the BR50 with buggy tires was its tendency to tip over when cornernering too fast. After another test with my buggy and the same pin tires i can safely say it was primarely due to the agressive tipe of tire thread as my buggy also had tendencys to tip over while cornering: buggy video. There is no tip over on this vid but before i shot this video i managed to tip over the protos buggy too.

br50 chassis with old Mugen pin tires mounted (very agressive tire thread)


This is my buggy tire selection


Sometimes less grip is just easier to drive. That is why i now run my buggy with axial cubes tires. Tire on the right side. They are the smallest one and do look awefull on the br50 chassis with body mounted. But they give good performance.

Thanks. i love to play around with my Robitronic 1:8 chassis. I'm glad that Robitronic sells a more scale like car. My quest for good fitting tires with good performance will go on. I hope we will see more scale like bodys for 1:8 cars in the near future. I envy 1:10 car drivers. They have such a huge selection of superbly scale looking bodys. The SC8E kit looks promising.
