|  Tire choices?
What would be a good choice that is as close as possible to the stock tires size? I've tried some rock claws since everyone thinks they're the best these days. I don't like their actual size though-almost 1/2" shorter & much narrower, so believe it or not I still like my stockers better  (Ive cut em into knobbies & they flex pretty good at least ) Usually I'm driving on bowling ball sized landscaping rocks close to home. Without the width & height of the stock tires it just hangs up all the time & wont go anywhere |

I've got the Rock Claws with stock foams on mine and they work great even though mine drags every now and then. I have tried an old set of M2K's on narrowed Traxxas Nitro Sport 5 spoke rims and had good luck with them.

 The stock tires are wide for a reason, and rock crawler tires are skinny for a reason. If you want something as wide or wider than stock, look into the IMEX All-T's. | |

Imex 2.2's are the closest in height to the stokers you can get. Look at the all terrains.

thanks I"ll check out the imex's. I checked & my wk has about 1/4" less clearance under the diff as my gf's ax10 with the same tires:-(. Crawling & picking lines is great fun but on the other hand rock racing looks like even more fun |

I run the M2k's in the new compound on my WK rig.. After you streatch the truck and flip the chassis it is really capable.... dig it man!   Go with the Mashers! you wont be sorry. they work well in just about every terrain... Personally I wont run anything Imex on my rig... I tried them out and HATED them.... |

Also : Imex Red Rock tall & wide, Axial Rock Lizards about same height than stock Mud Trashers but narrower. Which wheels do you have ? Maybe to much positive Offset ? WK diff is wide... so you may want to narrow it down a bit with negative offset wheels ? |

M2k's look like almost as big as the stockers-are they? What didn't you like about the imex's, just didn't grab good enough? crawler king I think I like that body , what kind is it?Fillibuster I tried the rock claws on 2 different sets of rims I have, 1 set had it as wide as stock tires, the others narrowed it up enough to not look kind of dumb but either way I didn't care for it, just too low to the ground? Guess I'm just used to the taller fatter tires  |

I am actually running half the width of the stock foam and that is cut into a multi point star pattern.. so they will really grab hold and climb.... | |
