Zero offset will yield more steering regardless. Wider offset will yield more stability over the rough and jumps.

Depends on what truck you are planning to put them on. Some trucks are designed to use standard and some use the 1/2 offset.

I personally recommend starting with whatever the manufacturer setup offset is. Thats usually better. If you go to wide on the offset it starts to handle like a barge on the track and really looses allot of turning.

But some cars like the original losi truggy was designed to use the 1/2 offset wheels. Mose are better with the standard offset though. For the track anyway.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...

Yeah, on second thought, maybe 1/2 offset is better for my track, it's very challenging, with jumps, six pack, or rumble strip on every section of the track.

I actually remember my other tires that are zero offset, they are RD Logic porcupine's, and they bite so hard in the corners on grass. But they weren't are good on gravel/dirt as badlands.

I guess I will just go for these:
