Hi, I know the mtr5 is supposed to work as a rallycross car, but I just can't get any grip in the dirt! I only can choose slick tires!!! How can I get proper tires?

It's an autocross car, not rallycross. Two very different things. 
.. VERY different lol
who ever said rallycross?.. musta missread somewhere, but it has only slicks anyway :S

yeah, autocross, not rallycross, my mistake but the game game allways warns me of entering an autocross track with "normal" road tires...
shouldn't it be logic to have some hibrid tyres...like the other cars have? any mod that could have this...??

No, it sounds like you are still trying it on Rallycross.
Rallycross = dirt tracks
Autocross = tarmac/road tracks like in a parking lot
Whenever you try to race the MRT at a Rallycross track, yes it says you are using road tires, you cannot use anything BUT slicks on the MRT, since it is made for the road/autocross.
I don't know if any programs can give you hybrid tires on the MRT, but look in the Unofficial Addons forum here.

Slickmod apparently allows you to pick whichever boots you like on any car: http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=86
yes, you were right, I was trying to get it to run in rallycross tracks....hehe....my mistake..but it would be a great car to get sideways on rally tracks... 
I'm going to try the slickmod
thks all

It wont be a great car for rallycross at all. You cant set the ride height high enough etc. Its a go kart man.
Not really a go-kart, but I'll let you off 
It's a Formula Student (Or Formula SAE) car, and is designed to run around tarmac courses marked with cones. The speeds are kept low by tight courses and short straights to reduce top speed (usually about 60mph max) for 'safety' reasons. This is why they have stupidly high roll bars, and ridiculously short wheelbases (although I'm convinced a slightly longer car, and the stability that would bring, and a more reclined driver, would more than outweigh the advantages of tiny wheelbase. If I had my way I'd completely change the Fstudent car at my uni, but alas the team is make up of idiots who like cars rather than talented people who know anything about how cars work. So I leave them to it, even though NONE of them know how to even calculate gear ratios [for example]).

lol Tristan, which university you are talking about?
Brunel University, West London.

Sure, they win some awards, but often only for the fact that their car has lots of nice things the judges likes, like carbon momocoques, LSD's or Motec units. The fact that the car is dog slow, unreliable and far to complicatd for it's own good. No-one in the team (including the team leader and engine-specialist) knows how to use an engine dyno, how to mount radiators, what gearing to use (they just bought a diff from a quad, and they don't actually know it's ratio, but they can only use 3rd 4th and 5th gears because of it. It's not a priority apparently :S), none of them know how to use the motec, or even why they use it. There are, this year, TWO people in a team (of about 30) that know what they're doing. One is a karter, and one is an ex-Sauber engineer/fabricator who decided he should get a degree at the age of 33. The rest know very little to nothing.
I even had to explain to the 'engine-specialist' that when you change a head gasket on a Metro it's important to get the cam timing right when you rebuild it. He just looked blank at me and said he's fitted the cam belt but the engine didn't work and wouldn't turn over by hand. So I asked if he had marked the cam wheels? "No, didn't think I had to!" Did he line up the marks afterwards? "What marks?" Did he turn the crank or the cam wheel separately? "Yeah, I turned them to force the new belt on". This person wants to be in Formula One!!! I wouldn't let him in Kwik Fit!
On the flip side, the car does have nice suspension uprights, careully designed in FEA packages, and beaturifully cast/machined. It's the ONLY bit on the car I like (although the new chassis being designed by the ex-Sauber guy is looking tasty - I've been trying to help stress test it).

Neat car. Maaaan I wish we had Uni's hooked on LFS so they could somehow get their car in the game too. Would be sweet to have FSAE sponsor the game and be the official simulator for the Universities And if we could only choose their cars to race with on auto-x lots. W00t.
off to bed now :tired: ...... im dillusional

Ah, Brunel. I know them, they finished only 37. this year at bruntingthorpe. Sounds really interesting what you are reporting about that team.
But what do you mean, with "to know how to mount radiators"? What do i need to know to mount a radiator? Maybe my translation of "to mount" is not exactly correct, so please help out
EDIT:
What are you talkin about? Trying to get on of our cars in the game since atleast 2 years... We have been the first ones, that asked Victor after S1 was released. Would be really nice to have a "simulator" of our car for fairs for example...
Greets,
Warper

Well, they wanted to know if you could mount a radiator at an angle (but having the vanes at 90 degree to the radiator, thus not being in the best orientation for the air to pass through). Some of them were saying they'd need a custom made radiator, others were saying they could just bend the fins, others were saying it was fine (the correct answer). This was BEFORE they worried about whether the radiator should be smaller (less power with the restrictor than standard, and hence probably less heat load on the cooling system).
I knew i would get bashed for saying go-kart. I just call it that cause the mrt is well..so tiny
I found myself calling it a "mobile" on a server tonight because "car" seemed thoroughly inappropriate. God knows what it's called, Frankenstein or whatever, I don't care I love it (until the tyres get dirty, and then we don't get on so well...)
Does it have a drinks holder?
