| what tires work best???
I have the Losi mrc and i want to get some new tires for it im tired of looking at the stock tires. What tire do u think would work best for my pretty much stock mrc? Losi Bashers? Mudslingers? Or any other good crawling tires. Thanks and once i hopefully get them, i will post pics. Se Yeah.:-P:-P:-P:-P:-P |

blue means they are the softer compound so they will grab better

| The blue claws and bashers are both a better performing tire than the mudslinger on the rocks. but i dont know which of the two losi tires are better either would be a good choice

Ive ran the blue claws and bashers back to back...the claws do a little better in most situations that involved tough rock crawling. Everywhere else(sand, mud, smaller rocks, etc), they were pretty even. Id recommend the claws before the bashers in almost every case.

+1 on the blue claws. I was like "can they really be that much better?" Ummmm yeah! Blue claws and memory foams were absolutely worth every penny! They are rediculously tacky, also I wrapped the wheels with stick on wheel weights from the tire store. The'yre so sticky I didn't even glue the bead and they don't slip at all. With that and electronics relocation this thing is a beast now.

| I used an old toaster oven I have to heat them up and pull them off, be careful though it ruined the stock tires and started to kinda peel the chrome off the wheels. In hindsight I still had to clean the bead with a hobby knife so you might as well just try pulling them off first. I think it's pretty hard not to ruin the tire either way but they suck anyhow.

toss in your wheels and tires into a pot of boiling water. the way i have always did it after i tried the oven thing and melted them. boiling doesnt ruin anything and it breaks the glue well. |
