Round.

depends on if u have a car or a truck...

i have a car

ok well u need to raise it up and then try to get some type of rally tires...

[c1v1c]

wut do u mean by rally tires?
hard or soft?

idk like thicker tires. i guess hard but not really hard. like mediums.

[alexxxxxx]

well its a gen1 so i dont know if i can raise but if u know a easy tut plz post one

also if i found small sharpish studs could i stick them through would that give me enough traction?

I wouldnt bother taking it outside if i were you. Electronics + Water = bad outcome. even if its ice, if it gets inside the motor heat will melt it

[mrc5corvette]

any metal at all coming through would give loads of traction i think. th problem would be finding something small enough.

yea true unless u got a custom underbody that doesnt let water in

would saran rap on the bottom possibly work or does any1 have any water proofing the bootom thanx

I used to use thumb tacks on the inside of my tires facing out...worked incredibly well. If you could find some small thumbtacks or cut the heads smaller it would work well.

I read on AM site that people in UK have some tires for ice

[modman54935]

u would want soft so u get more traction not hard u would just slide all over

i may try the thumb tacks but i still dont have a way to water proof any ideas there ??

I wouldn't freak out about the waterproofing thing. Put some alcohol in a spray bottle and spray it down after each use and use a hair dryer to dry it. Soaking the car will ruin it but just ice racing should not be a problem. Let the arguments begin.

lol k im listening if any1 is gonna argue lol
but yha any ways what alchahol would work cuz im only 13 but my dad wud help an the hair drier would these work for sure cuz i dont want to break it ???

Here is what I have seen before on some tires I got with a trade I made for some tires and wheels a while ago, and it might just work for ice racing. Peel the tire off the wheel. Get about 6 or 7 small screws that were left over from when you unsrewed the body from the case it came in. drill the same amount of real small holes along the outside circumference of the tire (the part that makes contact with the floor or ground), then just thread the screws through the holes from the inside of the tires so the sharp end sticks out. You can cut the screws down to where you think might be long enough, but not interfere with the chassis or body. Looks like it might work.
