Best tires

[Jeabajuice]

Hey guys. I want to get new tires for my rustler. Which tires would be the best for mostly grass and a little street?
Thanks.

I love my proline Trenchers. They make them in a variety of sizes. I run them on My Savage and on my short course truck. They are great in dirt and grass and do pretty well in sandy surfaces (not beach).

Which one is the best for grass? Dirt Hawgs, Dirt Works, or Trenchers?

Have you looked at the Bad lands? They are awesome for everything but street, they hook up like crazy.

I am just going to run my rustler on short smooth grass.

A knobby may serve you better. not sure. i run all over and find the trenchers to be excellent all around tires, but a knobby may be what your looking for, however they get eaten up on hard surfaces.

By knobby do you mean the style of the gladiators by proline.

Dirt hawgs is a knobby like tire.

Alright thanks. Going to be getting some dirt hawgs because the stock tires on the rustler slip on grass like crazy.

I have a set of badlands on my classic maxx with a 3.3 in it, and I love how those itrs handle and really not to bad on hard surfaces yet for me ,, and I have that rig setup for rwd.

Neighbor runs sand paws on his nitro rusty. Thing actually does well but suffers from lateral slide due to the paddle design. Still gets up and goes in the grass and sandy dirt we have. Nit recommending for your situation of mostly grass, just thought I'd mention incase you find yourself in a sandy situation.

yeah paddles in the dirt is pretty awsome I use them with my jato and my slash once in a while and the rooster tails are insane!!!

 

[ChiefGeek]

Paddles on a jato...it could probably swim.

Paddles are pretty fun in the snow too

 

[ChiefGeek]

Nice! How was the electronics not ruined, you got that thing packed with snow.
Paddles are on my short list of things to buy since I already have a set of wheels waiting to be see fresh rubber.

Yeah, it was silly fun. It started life as a Traxxas so the electronics are waterproo........er highly water resistant. I did however stick the lipo into a ziplock bag to protect it from shorting. I don't use the paddles hardly ever, but have them if I get the urge.
