Re: how much psi for best stoppies?

stock or close to it... 28-32...

to help you learn sometimes it helps to run a little less, maybe 22... but you eventually want to be up around stock pressure especially for distance and carving 180's and stuff...

Re: how much psi for best stoppies?

When learning ull want to run lower psi, somewhere in the 15-20 range cold. once u learn to track straight u can start raising it slowly. The higher u go in psi the easier it is to steer. I run 35 psi cold in my pilot power 2ct
