Same tires that work best everywhere! Rovers! Foam depends on your rig. |

I can say from experience that rock claws work good there, that is my tire of choice for there, well depending on how your lines are set up, but in general they will work just fine for 95% of what you will encounter. Have fun dude.

As well as your panthers work, I'd say run those so you know how they react, otherwise rovers are the ticket

Can't go wrong with Panthers there, that is my 2nd choice there. Really I do know what works there. Really.

I think i might need a stiffer tire or foam in the back. those panthers are just sooo damn soft, Neil and i think that might be why i couldnt make that first climb on the final course. | |

Kyle A bigger foam will give you a little more reach. I think it may have helped you on that climb. You may want to get some longer rear links since the Losi measures a little short. |

Stick with Losi Comp Claws or Hot Body Rovers, both in soft compound. You can't go wrong. I didn't recommend Panthers or Carvers because they suck, I mean, because I don't have experience with them. Keep in mind foams are very important to any tire performing to it's best potential. Finding a foam that works for the weight of your rig and the softness of the tire is key. Unfortunately I haven't found the perfect foam that I could recommend to you as I'm still experimenting to find my own, so that will have to be something you figure out from others or yourself. Good luck, Stew | |
