| wtaith tire questions
just wanted to get some feedback on tires choices for the wraith .. and see if I was going in the right direction I trail most of the time with minor rock crawling alone .. most of the time its just small increments in a trail .. but I do enjoy when it does crawl creeks are a big part of my runs.. not so much mud but mossy rocks and falling tree's and other normal trail stuff i don't want a million dollars in this thing so i don't want super expensive . i was looking at the proline beadlock wheels {like 19$ a pair i think} and the tsl super swampers .. i ran this on my scx10 and liked it ok enough i like the price and foam that comes with them .. but should i go xl{big ones}or regular .. or if there is something along the same line that is recommended more thanks as always |

You've also got Axial wheels. In my opinion they look better than Proline and retails for $20-25 a pair. Proline TSL is a very nice allround tire that will do well in most situations, i run it on both Wraith (2.2)and SCX10 (1.9 XL). Never tried the 2.2 XL, it's fairly new, but I'd buy that if I where to choose now.

If you have a go fast / bashing side, I would go with steel gmades. The plastics are great for 2s trailing and light crawling, but might not survive a high fall or fast wrong turn or lack there of.

I should be getting my PL TSL XL's for my wraith on thurs/fri. I can mount them up, go for a rip and let you know, I'll be putting them on the axial trail ready IFD stock poison spyder wheels.

^perfect actually thinking of using same wheels and spending the money on links instead of wheels..and leaning toward the reg tsl for body clearence and ride hight |
