Default need some tire advice

Hey guys.

I made a indoor course for my MRC out of split firewood. Its pretty fun and I can quickly make a new run when I get board of the same lines.

However, I pretty much destroyed the stock claws. It may be due to the sharp edges of the wood and when I grab alot of throttle and the tires spin on the wood. The tires are chunking and wearing a lot.

My question is, would I tear up a set of blue claws even faster or do the stock tires wear and chunk out faster? Should I go with a set of bashes instead? They look like a more durable thread pattern.

I would say the blue claws would chew up faster, check out rc4wd they have a few tread patterens that would probably not chunk as bad.

I would go with a non soft tire. Like dont go blue claws or the bashers. Maybe the harder chisels or like said about RC4wd has some scale tires that are stiff and better patterns.

Thanks for the help guys, I went with a set of bashers for now. I'm going to starting running on a friends course witch is rock, Ill just have to keep the tire spinning to a minimum when on my wood course.

ive run the blue claws for almost a year now, and now i have chisles. the stock tires wore out way faster than the blue claws. i still have them and put them on my kids rig and they still grab really good. the chisles i have had for about 4 days and i think they are awsome once you cut the foam down a little.
