I do have to say I've recouped a lot selling off the stuff from older setups.

But anyway, I did some searching for tire setups for our much anticipated little beasts, and here is what I came up with.

Stock Tires - 3.25 inches in diameter, 1.8 inches wide.
1/10 Truck Holeshots - 3.8 inches in diameter, 2.2 inches wide.
1/10 Buggy Holeshots - 3.2 inches in diameter, 1.8 inches wide (perfect blue groove track tire - what I'll be using).
1/10 Truck Gladiators - 4 inches in diameter, 2 inches wide.
1/10 Truck Bow Ties - 4 inches diameter, 2 inches wide.
1/10 Truck 30 Series Bow Ties - 3.9 inches diameter, 2.2 inches wide.
1/10 Buggy Bow Ties - 3.5 inches in diameter, 1.9 inches wide.
1/10 Buggy Dirt Hawgs - 3.5 inches diameter, 1.8 inches wide.
1/10 Truck Dirt Hawgs - 4 inches diameter, 2 inches wide.
1/10 Truck 30 Series Dirt Hawgs - 4.1 inches diameter, 2 inches wide.
1/10 Truck Badlands (30 series or standard 2.2) - 5 inches in diameter (too big).


The truck's wheel base is only 7.9 inches long, so if you used 5 inch tires you'd be left with less than 3 inches of space between the tires. I'd be willing to bet the tires can balloon enough to touch.

I think that going anything over about 3.5 inches in size is just too unreasonably large. I think 3.5 is already large as it is. So we pretty much have to stick to the buggy tires until companies come out with tires specifically sized to the truck.

I will personably be sticking with the stock talons for bashing and the 1/10 Buggy Holeshots for the track. I may pick up a set of 1/10 Buggy Dirt Hawgs if the talons prove to have poor traction, but if their anything like the full size talons, they have acceptable grip for bashing.
Thanks for the size info on other tires BP, I was already planning bowties and crimes for mine


Work because i gotta, play because i wanna

People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise
