XRAY - Model racing cars

I run Jaco Nitro Shoe 40 fronts and 35 rears with additive on the entire rear and only on the inside quarter inch (5mm) of the fronts. I found that if I went to close to half the inside front tire with additive, the front would stick too much. And since the additive softened the foam, once I added it, no amount of cleaning the front tires would get the proper amount of grip back.

Try using additive on the rears only before you try other tires. If this takes away the traction rolling for an entire pack, but there is a little bit of push in the front, then add the additive to the inside 5mm and try it again.

I also found that if I sauced the fronts more than once on a race day, or let the additive soak in for more than 5 minutes, then it would spread through the foam to more than just the inside 5mm and they would get too much grip again. So I would recommend saucing the fronts once and the rears every one to two runs.

you guys are lucky you can use additive i cant the indoor club wont allow us, cause it leaves readue on the carpet

I normally use Paragon FXII on our carpet track and it indeed leaves residue, as well as the "pleasant" smell.

But I've been using the Trinity Death Grip cleaner and traction additive for rubbers lately and the additive actually dries within 15 minutes. I've felt the rubbers and they feel a lot more soft, but I didn't notice any residue. You might try it and see.

Another suggestion is to soak the tires in Paragon overnight and then use the TDG cleaner to get the sticky residue off before the first run. The additive will actually soften the tires considerably if left to soak in, but you won't have the DQing residue once on the track.

thanks heaps for that man much appreciated for the addvice
