Default BAD IDEA....

Victory tires on a jato 3.3 is one of the worst mistakes I've made. I literally ran the car for 1/2 a hour and the tires look like this.Does any1 know approx. how long proline moabs last on a 3.3. Oh, in that 1/2 hour I managed to break the rear lower arm. Also had to replace the top chassis plate and some other stuff. Sorry about Da huge pics I thought the site automatically rezised them, guess not.LAte..

thats traxxas tires for ya. any type of proline is MUCH better than any traxxas tire, but try to keep the rotating mass down by keeping the diameter down also. youll get a lot more vibration if the tire is only slightly out of balance at the speeds the jato can reach.

Dude, take it easy on the truck. Anyways, nice, but bad. Moabs will last forever, MIne have no wear what so ever, but they're no going to prevent breaking parts.

yep, traxxas tires suck.. get some good prolines. I like dirt hawgs myself because they're on/off-road and get decent traction most of the time where I drive.

Yeah I'll defenitly go with Moabs or dirt hawgs.. I just dont wanna ruin new tires by cuttin them but I also dont want 2.2 wheels. I'm just gonna have to risk it. Do you guys cut them or just get the 2.2 wheels?

With good tires just think what you will break! [sm=wink_smile.gif]
