Tired of Tyres?!?

[Mick]

Hi Guys,

I’m currently running an inferno VE on 4s with a Castle 2200kv geared for around 43mph. I just bash, but I’m getting frustrated with the cost of replacing the tyres :-( Is it my poor driving skills? My love of wheel spins? Or has my buggy just got to much power? Either way, it’s costing me a fortune…….

During the winter months I use the buggy on tarmac/concrete etc, and wondered if I should consider getting a set of belted tyres such as Sintec’s R/C tyres. Are they likely to last much longer and perform much better considering the additional cost? So far I’ve tried both Ansmann and CML road tyres, but they seem to ware out to fast, however they are the cheaper end of the market after all. Also, the front tyres seem to ware out faster then the rears, so should I be using a harder compound on the front?

Also with spring now approaching fast, I’m also thinking of getting a set of off road tyres. I’m currently thinking of getting either a set of Badlands, Medial Pro Pulsar or Nanda Racing Block tyres. Which tyres perform the best for bashing in parks etc on grass? Also do I need to be thinking about different tread styles i.e. different rears compared to the fronts? What combination works best???

Any help/advise would be appreciated…………….
