i haven't ran many 1/10 scales, but one my lightning stadium 10, its 4wd also, i put some proline masher2000's on some chrome rpm wheels. i'm very happy with them for bashing. they are light, tall, grip on everything, and handle high speeds pretty good.

I might as well just throw down the tires I like best.



Masher 2000's


Moab 2.2's


Claw Dawg 2.2's


Dirt Work's 2.2's


Swamp Dawg 2.2's



Those are just to name a few... I have alot more.

I absolutely love moabs. They get great traction on almost any surface.

the Sand Blasters are a scale RC tire for the older model Tamiya trucks and buggies. Tamiya item #9400554, you can find them on their website. being much smaller than a modern RC truck tire, i didn't expect them to perform well at all, but they have a surprising amount of grip on a variety of surfaces. i only really have problems on wet grass.

i wish they made a larger version for modern RC trucks, but the Dirt Work's are similar in style.

Thinking about seeing If these will fit.
They are the rear twin spoke off of a Jato.

Still haven't decided on a tire.

Keep the pics comin' !!!

I strongly recommend beadlocks,
I've got some Junfac mudrocks and they're nice and stout.
I'm planning on getting some of these split 5 spokes as soon as the next batch is milled, PM me if anyone else is interested.

As for a tire you might like the Losi rock claws, rockstompers or mudslingers from rc4wd.

Dirt works can get the job done just fine, and they look better.
