I am thinking of changing the tires on my EQ 8E. Any suggestions and or tips on which are the best and easiest to work with?

Igot the Proline badlands for my eq 8e, and they are awsome. tottaly different truck now. Idid use the old wheel and it was kind of a nightmare to get the old tires off but well worth it

So they wont stress the transmission or motor or anything? Just asking. I am worried about torque.

Do tires make that much of a differance ?

Valgath

yes they do they badlands offer good grip on the ground im using imax pin dawgs on my EQ 3.5 they offer just the right amount grip but not to much

No they don't put to much stress on anything, in fact they are about a 10th of an inch smaller then the stock tires, an dnow that Irun them I've noticed my motor stays a bit cooler... another good thing to do is put some super heavy duty grease in the center diff, I've noticed a much better power distibution to the front and rear diffs, just keeping it from popping wheelies every second has improved the temp as well. I've waterproofed all my electronics on my Eq 8e so it naturaly runns slightly hotter, but at the same time I run at my local track as hard as that thing will go and it does great

Will the tires you mentioned require new wheels? I am just asking is all.

Valgath

not to sure on new wheels when i did mine i bought the 17mm upgrade and bought the ofna mt2 splits for wheels

Nope :} Like I said in the top post, It is Horrible Trying to get the Tires off but they work perfect on the stock EQ wheels
