Default Tire Question

I have an nitro evader st and was wondering if putting masher 2ks woul dbe alright for it. I just thought they might bog it down is that right? THe evader is completely stock.

i have mashers on mine...works great. it slows the acceleration down a bit but if you're driving alot on dirt they are great.

I dont like them on hard sufaces , they dont seem to grab ,but on loose stuff they work fine, get some pin tires they work good also, RED

If your track or surface is hard packed and loamy or loose youll probably have better luck with step pins, if its hard packed with no dust and a blue groove youll probably get the best results out of pro line square fuzzies or Losi X2000's. The softer the compound the faster they will wear.

Yeah.... I forgot to mention that bowties are good for loamy soft tracks. But I have had better luck with step pins.

Mashers look great on stadium trucks, and that's about all. Performance wise, they are not worth using. They slow your trucks acceleration down, they are harder on the drivetrain, harder on steering servo and they don't have all that great of traction.I know some of you are gonna start hollering about that, but that's my take on them.

well...they look cool on a ST yes, but with the ST body? no, they dont. Thats why you need to get t-maxx body posts and a T-Maxx body:

well i own a RC10GT, so the T-Maxx posts just screw on. i got some from hot bodies, they come with 2 big posts(u use for front) and 2 smaller posts(put them in rear). thats they only real modding u need to do. line up the wheel wells the best u can and you are set. :]

Has Anyone got the HPI Geolanders (stock mt2 tires) on their 2wd truck? Are they any good? Do they affect performance? Has anyone got any pics? Thanks.
