Thinner tires? Is there any particular reasoning? How are you driving/on what type of terrain do you use this AX10?

Only reason for narrow tires is mud bogging


Hang up and Drive

Get a set of Voodoo Pins and Crawler Innovations Double Deuce foams. They're thinner, taller, and a whole bunch sticker than those garbage axial tires. They'll go on your stock deadlocks. You can also order custom narrow pins from Purpmrt on here. Narrowing pins is easy if you want to do it yourself.

This is in but the tires wear much faster when there isn't as much tread hitting the ground.


I narrowed these a while back, easy sleazy. I watched a video on how to do this seemingly black art and it gave me the confidence to hack apart a few hundred dollars in rubber. It all turned out fine.

I am doing a Toyota pick up build but also where I live it rains a lot so I cannot go out onto trails in the small puddles in the dirt beacuase it just sinks. Can you recommend some stores that sell thinner tires they don’t have to be taller though, Thanks!

The AX10 is heavier than an SCX10 and where I live it rains a lot so I can’t go in the little puddles on trails because most of the time it starts to sink, can you recommend a store that might sell thinner tires they don’t have to be taller though. Thanks!
