Team associated rc10 b3 tire hunt
Hi all,
I'm new here 😀 but not to RC although it's been a while.
I have an old associated rc10 b3 in need of new tires. The parts are
2.2 Pro line 4 rib #6878 fronts
Pro line holeshot #6825 rears
No end of googling has left me confused and without luck. Can anyone help and point me in the right direction please.
Trying to get the car up and running again after a bit of a layoff.
Thanks

it's a B3, how competitive do you think it can be? he's probably just farting around with it. so realistically he needs basher tires. but sense he asked specifically i answered specifically. but who knows, hopefully the dude will come back and chime in. the 3rd gens are solid bashers

You'd be surprised. I never implied OP was trying to compete with his car, though, I merely pointed out that the class is thriving and that means tire choice is through the roof.
A tire that bites into the flower bed well won't necessarily work on the driveway, and vice versa. So it's still important to know what the primary surface he's running on is so we can suggest a suitable all-rounder to put on the car. If he's primarily running it in a dirt lot we could shift more towards a tire optimized for that, rather than trying to suggest one that'll work on tarmac and grass as well. IF most of his running is on tarmac, perhaps some clay tires would suit best, if not outright slicks.
...it's a shame ProLine doesn't sell Badlands in 2.2 buggy sizing. Those would be the go-to here, as they are in every size range they're offered in.

as long as they keep making gladiator 2's i wont have to complain. iv yet to find a surface they don't work good on.
and JConcepts still makes a ribbed front for stadium trucks. thank god.
the 2.2 buggy and stadium truck basher tire market sucks! problem is, apparently nobody is bashing them anymore. everyone's gone to short course or monster trucks.

In all seriousness, Badlands for 2.2 Buggy and ST usage would be boss. Badlands is a tire that works well on everything. Sure there's a better tire for tarmac...that tire sucks in gravel. Sure there's a better tire for gravel, but that tire sucks on medium pack dirt. Sure there's a better tire on that, but that tire sucks on tarmac. Badlands...doesn't care. Bites in no matter what. If I ever end up with a 1/8 buggy I'm putting Badlands on it, no questions asked.
