OT-66 has arrived, Marwans repros

I got My OT-66s and i cant wait to test how they work against new tech tyres.

Turbo Optima Mid Special Body with Original rims and OT-66 tyres

Which one looks better? i alternate between both bodies since the undertray is the same.
I tested the tyres on a slightly damp and muddy track, and with some sections of grass, and i am glad to report that these tyres work better than modern proline M3s on that surface. This is becuase the M3s have short spikes, becuase of that, when the mud covers the tryes, there are no more spikes digging through the earth. Becuase of that the car understeers. The OT-66 on the other hand is of a harder compund and the spikes are long and far apart, so mud cant really obscure the spikes, so they dig right into the earth, giving your car more grip. not only that, becuase the fronts and the rears are wide, my car actually had more steering than with the modern tyres ! i will try these tyres in the next race in subang if the track is wet. Even if the track isnt wet i might use it for 1 heat just to try them out.
With Optima Mid Custom Special Body, in the dirt !
