Can you help me to understand a specific RC tires a little bit please....
The application would be on a 1/10 on-road RC with speeds 25-30mph. I have an extra set of rims and my plan is to add tires do a little drifting action.
1. LHS has some hard plastic drift tires 12mm hex 26mm tires
2. LHS has some slicks that are rubber being slicks no tread 12mm hex 26mm tires
I take these on-road cars to a large parking garage that is a smooth concrete floor. I do have an option for newer asphalt that is still smooth but I have not gone to that lot as of yet to run them.
I have seen one guy with the same car as mine with the hard plastic drift tires get no traction on the concrete floor....look like the car was on ice so was no drift action it was no control...
So my confusion and wanting knowledge is:
1. Where do I use the hard plastic drift tires what is the right surface for drifting with the car described above?
2. Where do I use rubber slicks?
a. Would the slicks do better on concrete or new asphalt compared to my friend that could not get control?
b. Will slicks keep a friction-less performance for drift or begin to hook-up at some point to prevent drifting?
The goal is to drift.....not sure of tire chemistry of surface and fun I am looking for
