Bajadre Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 (edited) I always ran proline badlands for offroad great grip but wear fast on concrete and hostile slicks for on road here buddy Edited October 29, 2020 by Bajadre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.AJ. Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 When I had mine I loved Uber Super Spikes on the rear and stock ribbed tyres on the front, I found the less side grip on the front the less roll overs I had 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Wheels; SilverbackRC, strongest wheels without question. Tyres depend on what you want and where you will run most. For on road, Hostile slicks are your best bet, medium compound for grip and hard compound for longer life. For off road, you've got many options and no one tyre is best for everything. UberRC super spikes are good for soft ground, they give the best grip in my opinion on soft loose ground, if you run them on anything hard they will just wear out. Hostile MX in hard compound are excellent all round tyres for most off road surfaces. If you are running on quite hard packed stuff, then Hostile Mini MX in hard compound are very good and won't wear out that fast despite only being quite shallow tread.

mond Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Second the Silverback wheels. There beadlock rings are also very good. Never had an issue with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Silverbacks on my long dormant Baja..... Only time one failed me was when the wheel nut came loose, and the hex spun. Can't blame the wheel for that. User error. Hostile MX's front and rear for me. grass, gravel, mud and woodland running. All excellent. Stay off the tarmac/concrete....as not only is the grip poor.....they shred. They are an off road tyre. On road....Hostile slicks on the rear....stock front.

kangarilla Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 I found some pirelli P6000 on the front, with a pair of continentals on the rear gives a good balance, although Dunlops are a good all weather tyre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninetiesbeard Posted November 8, 2020 Share Posted November 8, 2020 personally run uber vipers on the back, hostile nightmares on the front. Stock wheels with red arrow beadlocks, and ive never had a problem although i suspect i dont bash as hard as the other fellas here. The vipers do wear fast on anything other than loose soft, or mud so bear that in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
