Tire suggestions

Post by vwjuice »

I am converting my ultima, outrage, and raider to use 2.2 wheels and I need tire suggestions.

We drive on an outdoor track at the park that is very hard packed dry dirt with a slight amount of sand, that gets a light dusting of dirt/sand on top.

What would be a good tire to use on the buggies? I am willing to try a couple different tires but would like some suggestions. These I know won't work as I've tried them on my Blitz short course truck.

Goosebumps, ifmar pins silver compound, and taper pins red compound.

Any help would be appreciated guys. I am looking to order the tires online so it doesn't matter what kind they are.

M3 or M4 Proline Calibers
M3 or M4 Proline Hole Shots
Green JConcepts Double Dees
Green JConcepts 3Ds
Pink HotBodies Megabites
Green JConcepts Flipouts
SuperSoft AKA Impacts

For the rear of the buggies - fronts, go with some standard ribs or maybe holeshots.

I'm sure there are others, but those are off the top of my head.

My favorite track is an outdoor hard packed dusty track :) At night, it holds the moisture and becomes a traction monster, but during daylight, she's a slippery beast (waiting for THUMBS to read that...).

A few of their tires caught my eye the past few days. I was browsing tires on Amain and saw them.

Thanks again Jk. Always helping me with some of my rc cars. I don't know why I didn't think of holeshots. That's all I used on my T4. I'll get a few different ones to try out. thanks.

That's exactly how this track is.
