I've only used the stock set of Talons. They offer great grip on the tarmac, and their performance on the dirt is pretty good. And at the price you can get them on ebay for (brand new set from parted out e-revos), I think they're very good value for money and good for bashing. I haven't used mashers either, but I'm wondering how their lateral grip on loose gravelly surfaces is.

I run the Losi Bolt-On tires mounted on Proline 40 series rims. They work great for me on and off-road. Balloon is ok, not terrible bad. I do have a set of Badlands, LRP crimefighters, MT crimefighters, Imex swamp dawgs, Mulchers 40 series, Hpi phatline, Proline Road rage 40 series, and a set of foam slicks that are 5.50 tall and about 3.00 wide. I actually have 3 sets of Losi Bolt-ons I like them that much. Losi tires are just a little taller then all the tires here listed so they really help when bashing, getting over stuff and thru ruts. They have great grip too and wear very little. I'm impressed with the badlands too, but I wish they were just a bit taller and wider.

The losi super bolt-ons are the best tire I have used. They dont balloon until around 45mph. They offer huge grip and long lasting performance! Great tire and hoghly recommend!


They were better in the sand than the proline max paddles too.

love my badland's! all they need is a lil' duct tape on the inside to keep them from turning into picco pizza cutter's :intello:

they grip on everything but are a little to soft for ashphalt/concrete IMO

I agree that they can be...for me they were the 1st time, but after doing it a couple of times not a big deal.

hey.
our club is gonna run a grass track for a few meets will we build the new clay track.

do you guys think that badlands or mulchers or other would be better on a grass track?

shaun

The mulchers have tons of grip on the grass!!!!

One thing I have noticed that all the proline tires I have had really needed to be taped on the inside. The losi tires(super bolt-ons and the atxs) are ribed really well and ballon very litte in compairson.
I am guessing theat proline doesnt to save weight????

I agree with Madmaxx!..:intello: the Badland's are fricken awesome!.. I have a pair for everyone of my builds..:yes:

Since this thread seams to have been revived I'll make my comments. I have taken my badlands apart, cleaned the inside with alcohol and re-taped them with reinforced packing tape. Now I like my badlands again! I did order a pair of bowties for racing though. All will be mounted on beadlocks. My badlands will go to the 0 offsets maximizer beadlocks and I will put the bowties on the 1/2 offset. Should I tape the bowties as well?

i run the MTR bowties on my st-1 with an OS .30 and haven't noticed any ballooning, then again i have'nt driven it much.......

You prolly won't get any ballooning with that inferior power plant!

:oh: Hey wait a minute!!! :no: an OS .30 is Nitro???:diablo: do we alow Nitro guys here?? :na:

:lol::lol: Just kinding Sir.. Sorry.. :wink:

prolly not, it does'nt like to rev that much :rules: it is a real torquey mill though!

:whistle: :intello:

I'm glad you have a sense of humor!.. :yes:

Welcome to the MONSTER SIR..:yipi:. I'm looking forward to watching you convert the gas smoking, smelling machine :whip: to a cleaner, FASTER BL build.. :wink:

Have a great one Madmaxx!..

Shaun.

i've been known to have one on occasion :lol:

thnx for the welcome Shaun, but i will not be switching to electric, i like the smoking/smelling nitro burning machine's :intello:

the REVO actually move's pretty good with the red dot and wide ratio tranny gear's. i would like to try and get some of the weight down and play with the gearing a lil' more, i'm contemplating the vantage chassis but am unshure, i've upgraded everything else! :rofl: too much to list! :yes:

the st-1/OS .30 hasn't even been fully broken in yet so i don't know really what kind of performance to expect from it, the st-1 is also bone stock....

back on topic, some other choice's could be zombie's or moab's

cheer's!
