Best Tires For E-revo
 

Hey guys i have BL erevo waiting for some new tires and I want your opinion on what would be best for running on grass and pavement. Would traxxas Response tires work? Or should I get some Moabs?

I would get some Badlands they are pretty popular. The moabs look like they would be to heavy and the Response tires will wear down on pavement pretty quickly.

Mashers are always a good go everywhere tire w/ great life. Badlands rip on the grass and dirt, but no so good on the road (horrible braking)

Don't know on the response. Moabs are supposed to be quite good but hvy, tho for more street I'd prolly still go mashers.

What about crimefighters?

CF's for racetrack - Badlands for bashing

All round hyper ST Pro dogbones

Arent badlands 3.2"?I thought e-revo was 3.8"

I have badlands on my revo 3.3 conversion and they work great!

badlands FTW!

there is a guy on ebay having a buy one set get one free. mine cost like $27buck shipped i think.

^^^ Got a link Mentat?

These are quite good for basher tires. Prolly can find them cheap as well. Good on dirt and road.

CF's. No, track only. Too small for grass, to soft for street (will die fast.)
Again, I don't like badlands for the road. My trucks slide out of control on the street w/ badlands every time I brake, and accel suffers as well. Anything but street, badlands are awesome basher tires.

Send him a message tell him the tires u want. He will give them to you buy 1 get one set free

Thanks!! I might buy some mashers, badlands and CF's and compare there preformance if I get the cash (Just spent it on a new BL Slash :yipi:)

yeah, its all about the money. $40-50 bucks for a set of wheels and tires is kinda crazy. batteries 100+ etc... hobby is pricey

get some losi zombie maxx or some proline mulchers...those are prolly the two best bashing tires out there. and if you want something bigger, get the losi super bolt-ons.

for those of you that said badlands, have you guys ran the losi zombie maxx's? im trying to see what the difference was.

never heard of the zombie maxx. to bad i sold my revo the other day. I would like to get another one and take my time building it from the ground up. Thoughts on a Chassis?

Kershaw designs has one, it looks like it was thrown together though.....

I personly think the stock chasis is fine.
The driveshafts, suspension arms, etc... is what I'd upgrade

another vote for the mulchers or zombies. The mulchers are unstoppable on grass and pavement tractionwise, last a good while on pavement as well. I didn't get to run the zombies much, but they seemed like a killer tire as well.

Another Zombie Max Vote, awesome tires. I also like the Imex Dirt Dawgs.

Once I get the cash I think I'll try the zombie maxx's. Thanks guys!!!

This is VERY IMPORTANT !
Befor you mount the Zombies you must belt the inside w/nylon packing tape prior to glueing. The rubber is soft and the tires will turn into pizza cutters easy.Once the mod is done you'll be super happy with them 4 sure !

Hehe did a little more research and I actually am going to try this :yes: :

I've always liked the Moabs and had great luck with them.Just gear down a little and watch your temps the first run.

Went to my LHS and saw a revo with badlands on it, and I'm going to buy some and stretch it to fit the rulux 1/8 1.5in offset wheels. I've heard that the badlands balloon alot, am I right about this? Has anyone had any experince with this setup?

ballooning in a car is because of the diff oil. that and air is not able to escape the wheel because there are no holes in the wheels to release it. badlands dont balloon any more then any other.

There are some free used badlands to try in the PIF thread...

Wow, that is just so wrong. Tires ballooning have nothing to with diff oil at *all*. Nor is it caused by air "trapped" in the wheel without any means of escape. Tires balloon because every single atom is trying to move in a straight line but being forced to move in a curve instead i.e centrifugal force at work. The faster the wheel spins, the more pronounced it is.

WOW, that is just so wrong. your going to sit here and tell me that air trapped in the tire has nothing to do with it? Where did you go to RC school at? I myself recent experienced an issue with ballooning tires and not having proper holes in the wheel or tire proper. Whatever. Diff oil does matter has well, anyone will gladly agree. Your explanation isnt wrong either. Do not come here acting all high and mighty either RC God.

EASY BOYS, You fight nice now.

Ventilation,diff viscosity,Tires not being balanced,exceptionally soft rubber and not being belted,Terminal velocity from raw electrical horse power/centrifical force all reasons the tires look like pizza cutters at speed

I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to assume you had any clear knowledge of 8th grade physics.

what a douche bag. lick my nut sack homo. oh wait, you may enjoy that to much. why do you come here and post something hostile. your scum of the mthrfn earth. :P

Front wheels ballooning on a vehicle is caused by the center diff sending most of the power to the front- thick fluid required in the CD.

The outside wheel ballooning when turning a corner is due to the fluid in the diffs being too thin, thicker fluid also required.

Taping the inside of the tires will help to reduce ballooning, as will using a thicker tyre.

Be nice Mentat :lol:

he started it :na:

:lol:

I just bought a set of Proline Dirt Hawgs from another member here. They are the 40 series size. I'll report back once I receive them and try them out on my ERBE (I never use that acronym, but I just like messing with metallover!).

Yeah i just picked up the ERBE too. waiting on the batteries to come from hobby city, should be here sat or mon tues. LOL. Im going to run the Rulux with bowties or crimefighters just because i run only on the tracks.

I've heard great things about the badlands on lpr rulux rims, i might order those. I still enjoy the stock talons though. Yeah, definatley report back on those dirt hawgs, I haven't heard many things about them.

Ok, I just got done gluing the badlands onto the rulux rims and fixing a torn foam insert :party:. Wow these tires have great traction and they're great on my e-revo. Along with some other new parts, here are some new pictures of it:

What do you reckon is weight difference between the Rulux/Badlands setup and the stock Victory/Ananconda wheels?
