The Mojo is the spec tire of the RMC. That is 100% certain. It is our intention to run the Mile High challenge to full RMC spec and that would include using Mojos.
Now before you guys go slashing wrists and punching up the reply key for a flame job, investigate the Mojo a bit further. It actually is a very good tire. It does not have more grip than the MG Yellow, it has less. It also wears much longer. But more importantly, it does not fall off over time. (Once a rock, always a rock, right?) In fact, some claim it gets a bit better after a couple of heat cycles.
It does require two things.
First, the setup of the kart is different. What works for the MG will not work for the Mojo. So the simple thing to do is test and find out what works.
Second, the driver has to be much better. You can not go out and slide the Mojo around like you can with MG’s or B’stones. It over heats quickly and the grip goes away. The good thing is that once it cools down, the grip comes back. Our weaker drivers will hate the tire. The good drivers will get smoother and get better. You have turn in earlier, gentler and unwind sooner. You have to learn to let the kart rotate under you, not force it.
If a driver does not get some extensive experience with the Mojo, he/she/it will be at a huge disadvantage compared to the guys who do. In the MinMax class last year, 7 of the top 10 including all the top 5 were from Florida. Why do you think that is. Do they all cheat? Is the water better? The reason is simple, they run the Mojo year round. That is why Andy S. and the Gatorz series switched to Mojos for this coming year. To better prepare his customers for the Grand National.
I would guess that for most drivers, you could buy just two sets of Mojo’s to run all of the Mile High Challenge and do all the testing you need getting ready for the Nationals. I know that I couldn’t get that much racing out of Yellows.
