Tires and wheels what's the deals
Here's a different take on the sanded wheel debate...the straighter you can make the car the faster it'll be...keep the car off the walls and obtain speed for the corners...the cut wheels (straight walled sanded) should hold a straight line therefore achieving more speed...now get the weight and wheelbase right and away ya go...
- CC, you took the words right outta my mouth......I don't know how many time I've seen super fast cars biff on my tracks because they couldn't drive in a straight line! — IndianaDiecastRacing
- a car must be reactively dynamic. it's not a static single weight bias, as opposed to a reactive chassis. Good wheel setup is a must, but I think, that all cars have some "give' not totally rigid, thats the hard part — dr_dodge
- a biff in the track should not disrupt a well balanced reactive car — dr_dodge

I would say on the open track, you kinda need more rubber on the road. Skinny tires just seem to slide around a lot, whereas standard tires seem to hold the line better. The random fender-banging shakes up the race, so it's anyone's guess. I agree on the weight and wheelbase.
