wheels and tires

[JERRY2KONE]

If you read through this entired thread you might get a better understanding of your quest. You will get a variety of opinions when it comes to tires/wheels, & bearings for the best use. As far as I know you can either glue your tires or use beadlocks. As for tires badlands seem to be one of the better favorites along with faultlines. As for bearings try going on line to vxb bearings and look through their selection. vxb supplies a lot of the R/C suppliers with the bearing that they sell to us. If you think about the type of punishment we give our vehicles and you do some checking on your truck or buggy you can see that the issues are dirt, water, and heat. Using rubber or plastic sealed bearings protect from the water and dirt, but the heat will warp the plastic and rubber and speed up failure rates. I prefer to use metal sealed bearings because they will last longer. You can alos use ceramic bearings for better wear rates, but unless you are racing they can be very costly. Good luck with your choices.
