I have the CRT.5 and a variety of tires for it. I have a set of the buggy dirthawgs and like them for all terrain running, I also have a set of Traxxas bandit anacondas for speed runs on the road, a set of Slash tires which are another decent AT tire, and a set of Jconcepts buggy DoubleDee's for track use. Tire choice depends alot on the kind of running you want to do. I raced with the DoubleDee's at the bash on Sunday and they where awesome, but the track was relatively flat compared to my local track. At my local track the stock/buggy size tires are to small for the huge jumps, bumps, and ruts. I have thrown the slash tires on at my track, they are the only 1/10 truck tires I have, and it actually seemed better even with less traction just cause they got through the rough stuff better. If your gonna run on ashphalt alot then the anacondas are a great tire, I kinda like the dirthawgs better though cause they provide a better contact area.

As for your setup, the one thing your gonna want to start looking into is a better motor. Those Castle motors really aren't up to the task of powering one of these little truggies. They heat up and the smaller shaft will likely break soon. Normally I would suggest a Medusa as I have one and many others are running them but they have decided to leave the RC business. I ran a Novak HV4.5 on 2s lipo with a Mamba Max when I first got mine and it was a good motor for it, ran cool and had smooth power. Neus are a great choice, a 1506 or 1509. Many have also had good success with the Traxxas velineon motors, theres also the feigaos and Hobby City motors, and even though they aren't the greatest quality an L can HC motor should stay plenty cool and even after shipping is less than $50 I beleive.
