snow tire suggestion

[glockrocket17]

My summit has a 2200kv mamba monster 2 and I am wondering what recomendation you guys have for a snow tire. I have the stockers, trenchers, and losi claws. I was thinking maybe mashers and I dont think I want paddels. Thanks for any input/suggestions.

Have you thought about making some tire chains? I have a prototype and the chain to finish I just haven't found the time. From what I've read they help.

I know it really doesn't answer your questions but I thought I'd throw it out there.

Not really. I saw the ones djmedic has but the reason I was looking at mashers is cause they have a little paddle but still be good for hard packed and dirt. I may have to look into some chain designs though.

i have a set of Swamp Kongs on the stock set-up....it's the the fastest but those huge tires will float on the snow!!!

I'm going to regear and go brushless soon...so that should help with the heat. (stock set-up gets quite hot...but it's a Titan so it's cheap to replace!

I made some duals for the snow out of two old sets of tires. One set from a Revo and one set from an E-Maxx.

Mashers work very well too.

[glockrocket17]

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll try the mashers.

These look like they would work well. (RC ADVENTURES - Traxxas Summit with PROJECT Overkill Body & Floatation Tires - YouTube)

Yeah I have been watching what djmedic has done but he said they are not available to the public.

[SnarkyMcSnarkson]

What about making your own with pool noodles put around stock rims?

[glockrocket17]

That would probably work pretty good. The ones djmedic has have bedliner on them I believe. That wouldn't be to hard I imagine.

get the rc4wd tires. they raise the truck up higher. I am using trencher X tires and they go good, but heave and no floating. I went back to the stocks and it seems to go better in the snow, they are lighter and the wheel speed works good, with the 23 inches of snow we got last night.

[glockrocket17]

Which ones would you suggest from rc4wd. By the way I blew out the rear diff again on thursday so im looking into aluminum diff cups.

[1r3land]

If you want y'all, the rc4wd rock crushers are huge, I have them on mine, they are like 8+" y'all I believe. Don't know how well they would do in snow cause I have never used them in it, but if ground clearance is what your looking for they will do the trick

Tall*

for rc4wd tires I have been looking at the Micky tires. they are not as aggressive as the mud slingers but look great. I think the close tread pattern would be suitable for what I need it for.

[glockrocket17]

Sweet thanks fo the suggestions. Im gonna check rc4wd for prices. Does anyone know of a good cheap set of bead locks.

Yes those are some real good looking tires as well!

[glockrocket17]

I think if I go with a real tall tire I'm gonna have to get some of the aluminum diff cups from Germany.

I run the Imex jumbo kongs in the winter. And it's like a freaking snowmobile. I can come to a stop in the deep snow and punch it and it will actually lift the front end off the ground. It's a blast to run these tires in the snow.

NOTErized!

i run original trenchers and they don't work well at all in the snow.
