Paddle Tires?

[UE-Maxx]

Does anyone make paddle tires for the Traxxas Bandit?

If not, what are the best tires to use in the snow.

[Ponch]

Hm...If stadium truck tires fit, then I think proline might, but not sure....

Proline makes 2.2 truck tires. If you can put a 2.2 truck tire on there you would be set with paddles.

[UE-Maxx]

Ok. Some people said that you would be able to put 2.2 truck tires on there as long as you glue them.

they will be a tad too big, the rim is a 2.0, it'll work if you glue them good

[UE-Maxx]

Ok. I will see what my LHS have. I don't want to place a tower order.

Put the Pro-Line Sand Paws on an Electric front or Nitro rear Rustler/Stampede rim, that should make it a bolt on operation, I may try RPM Nitro Rusty/Pede arms on the back of mine with the standard offset Electric Rusty/Pede wheel I already have though.

If I put them on a rustler's rim, don't I need to buy the wheel hubs also? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti...LXJH98&P=X

Depends on the rim, I put mine on RPM Rims which came with wheel hexes.

Haven't taken any pics yet, but I converted mine last night with parts I had laying around, looks pretty wild and has a ton of ground clearance too!

[UE-Maxx]

Converted what?

I don't have money for paddles but I have some old slicks that I might buy tacks and stick them through and either glue or tape them.

[UE-Maxx]

Just got some thumb tacs and put them in my slicks. Only problem I see is no traction coming from the tire itself and that the tire is so low profile.

I will get some pictures when I mount them. Waiting for the water to boil to take off my old tires.

For 2.2 paddles you have 2 choices sand paw tires or Panther paddles


I have the proline sand paddles they work good. I just wish they where taller they like to dig real easy.


I also have a set of buggy paddle tires in a 1.9 size made by duratrax.

[UE-Maxx]

The tacs worked great. Couldn't even do powerslides if I tried. The only problem is that the tacs weren't staying in. They would try and go back in the tire. I used CA tire glue on them and that didn't seem to work too well. Anyone have any ideas.

[BJoe]

Converted what?

N-Rusty/Pede RPM Arms, Paddles and Ribs on RPM rims, E-Rusty/Pede front axles and partial rear D/S's, softer rear springs (had trinity Monstermaxx XXHD 8.6lb springs on the back :eek: ) and jacked it up some

[UE-Maxx]

Oh.
