Ihave a electric sprint 2 flux. the tires wear within like 6-7 battery runs... what tires will last like 30 -40 runs?

heres what i use. http://www.hobbypeople.net/index.php...mpound-pr.html

how often do u spin the wheels and slide round?

HomieOC

i spin the wheels from gunning it. but i dont do donuts  r these cars not to be floored all the time?

phmaximus

its just like any thing if u thrash it, the tyres will ware down faster. try
revising ur driving habbits
Get use to changine tyres
get some drift tyres

Nothing els u can do. u can run a harder compound but they have less traction so more likely u will spin up the wheels even more than now

Try using the same tires but now use the belted. They wear evenly as long as you have you alignment done right.

Additionally, if you're running on unprepaired asphalt or concrete it's like running on sand paper.

Wait until you bugger up the gear diff shafts - those are fun to replace.

And watch out for rocks -

lol just got done replacing the shafts, that was fun i also realized there are "hard steel " versions of these (shiny metal not black) which i should've bought, apparently the stock ones are no good and won't last long.

and btw i've tried all types of tires and those are your best bet mainly because i've decided performance outweighs longevity. Other tires may last longer like slicks but the X's have better all around performance than all others (for concrete outdoor use) I run mine for about 10-15 runs before i replace, don't get me wrong they are wore to the point of splitting open.

Those are better in belted. same tire but are belted and will wear evenly

totally forgot to mention that, good call

The dog bones flop around in the gear dif shafts - you can try this = http://www.rctech.net/forum/electric...-sows-ear.htmlPost #4

Jumping on the throttle like a 2 year old after eating 3 Snickers barsand slamming down a 32oz bottle of Coke will eventually knock the snot out of the shafts in no time at all.

Another option is to go to CVDs - expensive to upgrade to and expensive to replace, but you'll have bling brags... You can stuff some O rings behind them as well to fill the gaps and help stabilize them.

I ran CVDs with O ring stuffing on an RS4 Nitro and except for one shearing off during a 500 lap enduro I had minimal GS wear - of course I wasn't jumping on the throttle either.
All of the races were rolling starts.
