Tornado s30 new tires
Its about time to replace the rear tires on my tornado.. Starting to get very poor traction..
Iwas thinking about getting just another set of the chrome rims and tires, Standard on the car..
I thought i ask here if there are any better options. I see the rims with no opening which seems like a good idea so nothing jam up my wheels.
Let me know.. Thanks

Grass mostly, dirt when Ican find a place.. and some pavement.
Im looking to replace rear tire and rims.. Once the front one wear out more i buy matching set for the front. or if the price is right get fronts now..

RE: Tornado s30 new tires
i must tell you most cars need to have both swapped. and with grass and pavement. just wheels zise being off will damage the diffs. so please save yourself some heartache and buy them both at the same time.
proline dirt hawgs are a great tire for you. go anywhere do anything

RE: Tornado s30 new tires
yes, i used those for a long time on my tornado.
the desparado rustler rears with the 12mm hex will alow you to us stadium truck tires, witch are larger, resulting in better overal traction.
the deparado rear wheels are instock on prolines website, the rears seem to work really well all the way around, so 20 usd will do yoa for a long time, the good looks are a bonus.

RE: Tornado s30 new tires
so if u don't wanna mess with the gearing then remove two front dogbones and make it 2WD.....and put bigger tires for more ground clearance... u think this would be a problem ?? any advice/suggestions ??

RE: Tornado s30 new tires
i got my first rc car 8 years ago, it was the tornado epx (27t brushed sealed can mabuchi style motor, A.M. radio, 1800MaH NIHM 6cell with tamiya concectors, dogbones the whole 9 yards) it was model #6 on the box, i got a mt a few years later and it was a huge number to where they had been adding letters into it.
i still have it, it's bl and 2.4Ghz now, but it's never going to leave.
