I didnt wanna hi jack the other thread but my supersportman is always spining i have a new set of 13x6.50x 6 tires on the back is anyone cutting these too get more traction i run 4lbs on the left rear and 5 our the right rear and it stills spins really bad .thanks

Can you cut tires in Super Sportsman?

[amr5080]

At the one ARMA race, I saw Tommy Daniels has a set of turf savers cut on his mini, so I would assume that you should be able to.

[Rusty Moosbrugger]

U can grind the tirers and put wd40 on them and wrap them like the carts do and sip the tires like tommy also

[mtd#7]

or you could buy a prep like venom juice or hot lap or goat pee.... they are tire softeners there are many different way to prep a tire...... ran karts for years and no all about prepping a tire.... thats were a race can be one and lost..

[Jeff Digou (Pitguy)]

Guys around here use  wd-40    cheap and easy

Goat Pee wastes a tire.  I wouldn't recommend it.  Get a really good tire conditioner like VJ or Track Tacs Tire Tuff Mint and prep once a week with them.  If your spinning then you prolly need to change your gear.

I changed it a couple times no matter what i do it doesnt seem too help any.

but more weight on axle  ???  could always  stud the tires just kidding

Go to a bigger tire less likely to spin..

Or go to higher ratio (lower number) gearing...go to where engine "lugs" and then down just slightly fom there run the power band...before slippage

[zach87cp]

I tried gearing it higher as soon as your in the throttle hard its spining , its handles really good but its a handfull cause its spins all the time it is just really hard too control, i might have too put a little weight in the back too try too see if that helps any,i can fit any bigger tires on it i have it set up for 6 inch wheels any there wont be any fender clearence.

You didn't go high enough

A gear ratio is a ratio.  The higher the ratuio the more rpms your going to turn and less top speed.  Hence the higher the ratio then the more your going to spin.  You want to go to a lower ratio which will give you more top end (more speed) in the long run.  If you have your motors dyno'd then pick your rpm you want to hit then gear from there.  Remember you can have the biggest baddest motor at the track but if you can't get the power to the track then your going no where.

thus it true

Move your seat back a bit and run them soft.
