“Higher traction than conventional carpet tires”
What’s considered conventional carpet tires? I didn’t know where was a difference.
I believe they are referring to the hardness of the tires compared to their previous version. They run a specific compound at their indoor carpet track, so I can only assume they are comparing it to that.
Where can i get this? I’m in the states and I don’t understand Japanese to order it on their site. =D Sorry. Any help would be appreciated.
Yeah these products can be a bit tough to find sometimes, especially with the language barrier. You should try banzai hobbies or any other online vendor from Japan.
