Can any one tell me what wheel and tire setup I should go with for dirt tracks?

What brand wheel?
What size wheel?
What size wheel adaptor? (23mm?)
What brand tire?
What size tire?

Thank you
 
I ran Response tires on Hurricane wheels. It's a very light combo which reduces rotational mass and will give you an increase in acceleration. I would actually look into the Ofna 17mm hubs for the Revo and go that route. With a 17mm hub your possibilities are endless as you would be able to use any truggy wheel/tire combo. I never saw a need for the 23mm hubs though I did have them and the only time I ran them was on a very rutted track which the narrow tires would get caught in and running a preferred line was a little difficult. For indoor clay tracks or blue grooved tracks it's hard to beat the Panther Switch MT with Ofna Orange foams or GRP Cubics or Panther Boa Clay. Outdoor depending on grip there's Bowties, Crime Fighters, or GRP Grips or again the Boa. Panther is releasing a Gator MT as well soon.
 
I would go with either The Traxxas huricans and Response combo or I really like the Proline 40 series Wabash and Bowtie combo. The Prolines are heavy but they hook up verry well.

You might also want to try the Maximizer Composite beadlocks. They're not very heavy and allow you you to change your tire quickly without glue in the field.
