Default Change of tyres


I bought this vehicle to try out offroading. The tyres don't seem to give enough grip on the track, any suggestions on some other style of tyre, maybe like a buggy, this vehicle is based on the Tamiya Baja TL-01. Thanks.

a set of proline bow ties might do you good for a track surface.[&:]

Those look like 2.2" wheels. What size are the hexes?

it looks like a set of staduim truck tires and wheels would do you well, then.
and i revert to what i said before, bow ties are generally very good on a track surface.

Yeah, bowties by Proline work well on the track surfaces from loose to hardpacked. Another choice that I liked too were the GladiatorII type tires by Proline as well. They are a type of step pin tires, they wear well and gripped well in various situations, from loose, grass, and asphault. More of an all around type tire which is what I am thinking your looking for. The bow ties tend to wear a little quickly, but if racing is what your going to do then they are what your wanting. Bashing I would go for the latter of the two.
