road rages suck. No traction at all. The slick you listed I have no idea. But there is an ebay seller that sells slicks that lookmlike that and are terible. Cheap.... but terible.


The Ofna Belted tires (slicks and street treads) are awesome, but a little more $. I personally like the street treads the best of all street tires I have tried. Belted for no balooning from the factory so they handle awesome and they also have great traction.

The GRP Rally tires were great too IMO, but it appears that they have been discontinued. That sucks. I used them all the time for parking lot oval. They were a great mix of traction an wear life.

I have a set of these that are ok. Espescially for the cost $31 for a set of 4 mounted. But the sidewall is a little taller so they are not as precise feeling as the lower sidewall tires I listed above. http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/17912

Guys on the Inferno Gt forum rave about Twister Tires. Seems they are only available here. They get a batch in every few months or so then sell them out in about a week.

Good news is that Losi/Horizon will now be distributing the GRPs. These should be available in a couple weeks.

Those slicks are good for one thing... drifting!

The first pair would be good for drifting.

I have used road rages, the 2.2 versions and they were ok, most likely work better on a heavier vehicle that is 4wd.

the tires on rcu look just like the ones that came with my yusa rally, so i would look elsewhere.
