Which tires for Truggy outdoor? - motoxer4life - 08-05-2007
What are good ones? The ones i have are pretty worn out and are coming unglued because of the indoor track. I heard crimes and bowties are good. But does anyone have a link to the right ones since i know theres wide and skinny ones orsometihng like that. Thanks.

what is the difference between mtr's and plain mt's? i see those all the time and i never know the difference. Well i guess its between those so what is better? which will last the longest? and what are some good rims?

doh I forgot about GRPs that's all I run in buggy and most guys run on truggy. And I love Gators myself I ran some on my Savage and it would wheelie in wet grass with a Mach .26 and they're were worn down to about 25% too they're great on wet dirt and dry

The MTR's have a lower sidewall. The tread is more rounded. The MT is more flat. I believe the MT has more tread hitting the ground then the MTR,but for hitting the corners. The MTR is said to have a hand up.
I ran Crime fighter MT's for the main this past weekend in edwardsville and I loved them. The MTR's before that in the 3rd round didnt feel so hot.
I ran the GRP Cubics all day sat. for the midwest race. Come sunday in the main,the track grooved up and I felt like I was on ice with them when in the groove.
But also,if you see gators doing well,its a safe bet crimes might too. Gators have to tire compounds while the crimes and ties only have one if I remember right for truggy.
Get yourself a set of ties and crimes atleast. MT or MTR,up to you. Myself,I plan to get a set of bow tie MT's. Or GRP Grips

Which tires for Truggy outdoor? - motoxer4life - 08-06-2007
i dont know, there rounded off alot and the outside edges are worn down, and like i said, i suck at glueing, and i thought these were gonna just be break in tires anyways so i didint take any time to glue em.

The rims you guys said are good, the hpi ones, say this:
These are white standard offset (0mm offset) monster truck rims from HPI Racing that are the same dimensions as regular T-Maxx rims, but use the standard 1/8th scale buggy 17mm hubs. These wheels are standard wheels for the HPI Hellfire trucks, and the HPI Savage X trucks. These will work with standard MAXX sized tires such as the Pro-Line MAXX Bow Tie, Pro-Line Crime Fighter MT and Panther Boa.
These are also the same offset as the Kyosho rims that fit the Inferno ST-R trucks, or the Thunder Tiger ST-1 truck when using the stock spoked rims.
They say they fit bow ties mt. They will fit mtr right?
