Glasgow Model Car Club

For those new to the hobby we advise the following tyre choices to get you started, our Glasgow club track is Astro:

We prefer the Cheater foams from the club shop for the rear tyres. Be aware that some races at other clubs only allow a certain 'control' tyre. Always check first!

Astro - Dry

• Rear - Schumacher Mezzo (Yellow) - U6885
• Rear - Proline Pyramid (Z3 or the newer CR3) - PRO8267303 (expensive but longer lifespan than other brands)
• Front - Schumacher Cut Stagger Low Profile (Yellow) - U6770
• Front - Schumacher Fusion 2wd (Yellow) - U?

Astro - Wet

• Rear - Ballistic Buggy Minispike (Green) - BBT01 - (These are the best all round rears in the wet and work best at Glasgows tack)
• Rear - Schumacher Mezzo (Silver) - U6886 (but only in slightly damp. Work best at Dunfermline/Falkirk)
• Front - Schumacher Cut Stagger Low Profile (Yellow) - U6770
• Front - Schumacher Cut Stagger Low Profile (Silver) - U6775 (only if you need more steering than yellows give)
