Tires???

[yotaboy89]

I need tires for my truggy if I'm gonna race it and was wondering what works well on our track just for the info I have a jammin x1 CRT I was lookin at the proline crime fighter m3 on the lpr 1/2 offset wheels I can get a good deal on a full set of those

round, rubber ones with tread on them.

[yotaboy89]

Yeah I've got that much it's just the shape of the tread and compound of the rubber I'm lookin to change and a foam that isn't so mushy

bowties and crimefighters,cf on front,bt on rear.holeshot will work good also.buy all three sets.

different things work on different days, depends on the amount of water and how packed the track is. I have several sets I use based on conditions that day. If I had to pick the best all around tire I have it would be aka I-beam medium. Problem is aka does not have a 1/2 offset wheel. you could call them and see whose wheel will work with their bead. If that doesn't work out, pro line bow ties are similar. If you go that route, may want to consider pre mounts. Then again, proline wheels are sketchy. I never had a problem with the jammin wheels when i had one. stay with medium compound. If the truck has a ton of steering, may want to go with crime fighter up front and bow tie or I Beam in rear to smooth out the steering. If it pushes bt or ib all away around.

If the truck takes 1/2in offset wheels, couldn't you buy slightly longer hexes to make up the difference when running 0 offset wheels?

[yotaboy89]

Well I really haven't got the suspension tuned well yet but as it stands it pushes pretty bad under acceleration out of a corner I'm gonna play with my setup once I get a good tire

If you can find them long enough that will work, probably alot of extra wheel bearing load though.

I just looked at pics of the Jammin truggy and it uses regular buggy hexes, so you might be able to find some adapters. Ofna makes them in metric sizes, and half an inch is 12.7mm, so these 12mm extenders would probably get you in the ballpark-

It's just a matter of paying $40 to run 0 offset wheels..

[yotaboy89]

I think I'll just stick with half offset and find some bowties

what about the truggy calibers i found some of those anybody tried them out i know they work really well for the sc trucks

havn't tried them on truggy,but i have tried them on buggy..i really like them,sometimes on our track they do have a little to much traction....for our track i really like the cf all the way around or,cf up front and bt in the rear,,,also for our track the bt are a really good chose all around..tires are something you are gonna have to play around with...i know it can get expensive but i would start out with the bt and go from there....also i have run holeshots on days when the track is really wet and they where hooked...really a couple of diffrent sets is the way to go...again expensive but in the end you will be better off...also balance your tires,helps alot....

borrowed a set and tried them on the buggy. didn't impress me enough that i needed a set. foams in the buggy set were soffffft.

I thought I might bring this thread back instead of starting a new one.

Has anybody tried the Proline Revolvers on the Mobile track?

Ran across a good price on a set...may buy just to have.

don't remember seeing anybody with them. Not liking the i beams on the new dirt, to much bite. Liking a smaller lug now.
