Gear down is not the problem, the main problem will be the hub, knuckle and bearing tohandle this side load cause by the largest tires.

Is it that big of a deal on the CRT? I run them on a Traxxas Rustler and it seems to be holding up to them pretty well. It would be nice if Mike would make a kit that uses 8mm axles and an aluminum knuckle with big bearings and came with 17mm hexes--that would be a popular kit I'm betting.

Hey those look like the adapters you can get at the RCuniverse marketplace. I think they are way overprice btw.

Since this is a tire thread, what would be a good tire to run on and offroad? It will be completely for bashing. Also, is it really worth moving up on the tire size?

Riley, give some gladiators a try. I'm using those right now and I think they are great for all around running. The M3 compound is the one you want.

the m3 is the softer one...why would you want that over the harder one?

wont they wear out quicker?

oops, yeah... my bad...I just rechecked the proline website. You're right. The M2 compound is what I should have suggested. Its the harder compound.

Ok, so M2 Gladiators. Do they fit on a 2.2 truck or buggy wheel?

LOL its all good. I had them in the cart and waited for your reply...

....i thought maybe the harder compound caused slipping or something I had not thought of.

Just took the CRT.5 out for a dash in the snow. The slash tires suck in snow! I wasn't out driving in deep snow, hardpacked snow in my apt parking lot. I don't think I even managed 1/2 the speed of what it's geared for. Topping off the battery and I'm going to try the bowties in he snow. I know it won't go as fast cause they are the stock size bowties, but there should be a lot less spinning and some more turning control. I HOPE!!!
