| Tires and foams for a yeti?
Okay I just sold off the shorter version swampers off the rig. The wheels are going to be Lockedup rc iconics. The rig will be doing a series of events/races next year. These races are more like a g6 over a track setting u4rc. From the sounds of it it's gonna have lots of high speed stuff but some real technical stuff. So I'm looking for a tire I can just leave on this rig for bashing high speed stuff to the occasional trail ride or race. Also the racing has to be a "factory" tire and can't be cut or shaved. The terrain will be in VT so a little of everything. Typically your tires are either wet or filled with gunk when getting to some rock ledges. The races will be rain or shine. Here is a couple pics of the terrain we deal with up here. Tire options I have in mind: Proline TSL XL's (I can get a set of these for cheap) Axial r35 Treps (love the look of these just not sure on performance) Possibly some PitBulls?? What foams? I definitely going with CI's just don't know what size and such (depending on the tire) I would love the added belly height with the taller tires. But then again I could lose quite a bit of handling as well. Any opinions or any other options (wish the falkens are out lol) I also like narrower tires of wide. Thanks! |

The terrain we run on, I would forget about pit bulls. The tsl-sx would be a safe bet. I would have stuck with the original tsl-sx for lower COG in the go fast arena. But you got rid of them lol. In my experience, the absolute best tire in our woods is the Bogger. My wraith is unstoppable with them. Foams would be important on a yeti though since they are tall and narrow. |
