good review..I got a stampede 4x4 which i converted to a truggy. I put some 2.8 talon wheels trying to figure out which tread to use and this helped a lot thanks.
yes and no. when you put bigger tires on it changes the center of gravity making it higher. This makes the car easier to roll over. yes it offers good traction but the end result is more roll overs.
The talons look like they just suck. The badlands might look good but thats honestly just because they're big heavy wheels, and while the rustler takes off quick with them, they look like they'll cause understeer on the track. I think the wheels with the best balance between grip and slip are the duratrax six packs and the speedtreads tripple threat.
for speed runs use foams. some of the fastest guys in the industry like Philip Jolly and Raz shifrin use foams on their speed run. check out raz shifrin channel he breaks down every part of a car for a speed run.
@@breadfinilini8288 yep you will. those are also really good for road courses. they provide great traction on the road. Gearing is also big thing for speed runs.
The video was great and I recently got some duratrax six pack mt’s for my rustler but isn’t this test kind of irrelevant if you aren’t using the whole set? Because some tires may look better than others but how will the front react when steering and taking off and etc.
@@friendlypete10 my favorite ones are still the dura trax. They are the ones that are in the car at the beginning of the video before i do any testing. they offer great traction on any surface. snow included. Videos coming soon.
@@friendlypete10 id prob go with the stock alias tires. The perform great all around. Least on pavement but still pretty. Good. I've run proline dirt works (soft and knobby) they're phenomenal for grip in the dirt. Slightly on the large size though. Way to much grip on asphalt
The 2wd rustler uses a different offset in the rear vs. the front. The rears have a much narrower offset because the rear hubs stick out further than the fronts. The rear offset is commonly labeled as 2WD electric rear. The front offset is commonly labeled as 2WD electric front, 4x4 front/rear, as well as 2WD nitro rear.
You may have the wrong tires for where you're running. Another thing you could do to regain some of your traction is to loosen the slipper a bit. I run the slipper in my rustler at a looser setting than stock.
Hey man, I'm wanting to move off of the stock tires for my kids 2wd Rustler to something bigger. He wants something more clearance etc for bashing. Any recommendations...and will I need to regear it? Running 2S Lipo
Any bigger tire changes the the center of gravity of the car making it easier to roll. You can cange the height of the car by making adjustments to the location of your screws along the suspension arms. If you do decide to change the tires to the pro line badlands for example you will get more height and you should lower the gearing so you dont burn up your motor. on my rustler i run the duratrax six pack and i love the performance i get out of them. hope this helps and happy bashing.
