i voted stock tire, its a very good all round bashing tire. however everyone else has it - so meats would be a good idea, to have something 'different' than most.

however i would say BRT1's as thats what ive got and find it ideal, but out of just the ones you mentioned, it would be stock tire, or meats if you want to buy a different than stock.

I love my Big Joes on Mambos. It is the same diameter as the stock tires and is 1/2" wider (Each side!) making a much more stable ride. They are wearing very well, too! Looks slick!

As a bonus, they are noticably lighter than the stock LST tires and, at top speed, balloon WAY less.

I also love the Proline 40's Big Joes on Mambo's ~ But I voted for the Stock LST rim & tire for bashing to death.

I voted for the Stockers,
Because I have gone threw a Few sets of Wheels now( hotbodies and TRCs and Pro lines) and I keep going back to the stock wheels,
Ya just Can't Kill the Stockers.

Are they bald or torn? I am trying to bald mine out. I am even thinking about taking them off of the rims and re-gluing them on the opposite sides.

I also stripped the chrome off recently using the easy off method. Seemed to werk for me.

They are probably 80-85% worn down. If you want to wear yours faster, get the swaybar kit (Heavy) and run on concrete with lots of full throttle turns and spins.

I like the turn 'em inside out idea...maybe a drifter will be born (At least when it is wet outside)

For an even more interesting sliding experience, try running just on the plastic rims. I did this when I was 12 with a Traxxas Radicator (2wd long buggy - circa 1989-1990-ish). Doughnuts galore!
