i used to on my revo 2.5 (with 3.3 engine). i used it in soft sand and it glazed my slipper. not sure if it was a coincidence or sumtin but i run them on my e-revo stock with no problems

It would definitely be harder on your system, but it could work.

it depends on the terrain you run in. In sand it wont be a lot of stress, but paddles hook very well on grass and could strain your drivetrain. I would do it, throwing roosts is fun!

Since u are running 2wd, the power system would be fine for sure, but since the fronts aren't pulling, alot of strain may hurt the diff unless u lock it. Of course my personal experience consists of deep dry sand (i had a couple of 16yard dump trucks come in and dump sand in my backyard:intello:).

thanks guys! i would put other tires for running on grass! I have a bunch of different style but no paddless yet! there the next one to come! :O)
what is the best tires to run up front with paddles? ribs?

_paralyzed_ 11.29.2008 10:36 PM

ribs, they're hard to find in maxx size. anything with side bite

Yea ribs r a bit hard to find in maxx size, but u might could do what they do on some sand rails; cut and/or sand all of the treads off except the ones in the middle, alot of work, but much lighter and less drag.

Imex makes maxx sized ribbed tires.
