Losi micro B

[yfzracer450]

Hey everyone. I recently bought a losi micro B so I could have something to play around with indoors. It fun but I get crap for traction on our floors. Its like hardwood. I bought different tires thinking that would help but not really. I saw something about using a tire compound to give me traction so I can actually jump it and have more fun with it. Any recommendations?

Tire compound might make a mess on your hardwood floors.
Pin spike tires worked ok on a gym floor I raced on years ago.

Sanding the finish off the hardwood might work too.

You could try this WD40 hack. It softens the rubber for a period of time, which may provide more traction for cornering. However, with the speed to weight ratio of the micro B, there may be a chance it could provide too much traction and flip the vehicle at higher speed.

Just sprinkle few drops of water on the floor and use the water as a traction compound. Include driving over the wet patch on your lap it works wonders

Order up some foam tires, they should hookup better on the hardwood.
