1.9 wheel & tire upgrade options for no0bs?
 

Hello.


I am a no0b. Please help me upgrade my wheels and tires. Do I need glue for the foam with bead lock wheels? What's a decent mid-grade upgrade? Any hidden gems? Looking for a complete set to gnaw some stone.

SO!

Welcome noob to the best place to get information on the internet about Rc Crawlers.

To answer your questions, understand there are many opinions on here. And tires are a very controversial subject.

Beadlock wheels should not need glue. The clamping force should hold the tire, and the foam should float inside.

I am all about value per dollar spent.

Imo Proline g8 tires are the best performance per dollar spent, and a set of steel beadlocks or even plastic beadlocks are worth every penny.

My latest combo is Incision rims and Proline g8 BFG Crawler's.

I cant ask for a better performing combo.

I run 2.2 glue on wheels from crawler innovations and 4.7" proline predator compound tires stuffed with CI foams. My aim is always performance, money is no object but light weight wheels that clear any knuckle and tires that wear out in a year.

Ahhh thank you as these must be quite good. They are sold out everywhere. I believe I will purchase those tires.
