I know i did a thread like this before but just some more things.I need a tire and rim combo that i can control in air,and on ground,can backflip,and also are not to heavy and are ok at handling.Are the big joes a bit heavy??Because i still want speed and good handling. Thanks.

Just get standard maxx size tires or 40 series tires.

I would recommend original Savage 25 tires on RPM offset rims.. Yes, the rims are 14 mm, but I've heard they're tough... If not those rims, then the Proline half-offset dish rims(dye'em black if you don't like white, but white dish rims are really growing on me....) with 17mm.. Both should be on the cheapish side. But the rims are light, and the tires last - on all surfaces - and are big and bouncy enough to be ideal for jumping...... Just my OP...

I have the Big Joes...and yes, thy're heavy.

me too....but i love them[>:]

I think ill go with a 40 series tire and rim,preferab;y offset,.What 40 series tire and rim is good for backflipping/jumping,ok handling and are not to heavy?I was looking at the bow tie..

Maybe then the Axial XL 8-spoke(not the beadlocks) with some Losi Zombie-maxx???

THAT would be a cool looking combo.. The Zombies are technically not 40 Series, but I heard they will wrap over 40 Series rims no prob.. Awesome tread design too..

The problem with 40 Series is that the tires are either mostly low profile for racing, OR so huge like Big Joes or Dirt Hawgs as to be unuseable... I have the 40 Series Axial beadlocks on Terraizer tires, and like the combo - but prob wouldn't recommend the rims. They're not bad - just not worth the price.. The tires so far seem pretty good - but again, they're more low profile race-style tires..

For looks, my favorite tires of all are the 40 Series Mulchers.. Can't run 'em on pavement though......

The Losi LST2 stock tires are good too - HUGE - but heavy.. I'm also a big fan of the stock Lightning GT tires - but also huge, maybe a tad lighter than the LST2 tires..


So anyway, for backflips, I'm inclined to say either go heavy with something big, OR stick with MAXX size and get something like the Savage 25 tires.. There are just more choices.. Zombies, HPI Dirt Claws(awesome..), etc. etc...

Ok thanks patrick, so you guys think for jumping/backflips,a bit of on road(wheelies) and also i want speed(not to heavy,and ok handling.

bump??
