ok i drive a mini.. but hear me out.. i modded the inside jobs for the front of my brushless vendetta ST with holeshots in the rear.. this alone gave me the right amount of traction and where i needed it.. the sidewalls on the insidejobs are a lil taller.. leaving the treads in the center only so if you are going down the straight and you hit that first turn it will prevent traction rolling. and the rear holeshots will keep everything balanced.. top view
he then later switched to holeshots in the REAR.. and noticed a HUGE difference .. more controllable
our track is hard packed aswell.. this was a fresh layout only a day old.. but he didnt make the switch until 3 days after this video and he was still havgin troubles with the inside jobs in rear.. that is why he switched to the holeshots..
cool thanks thats some knowledge im glad to have now
good work on the tires they look cool

Joe IS one of the "pro guys." hehe. But he's also pretty helpful, especially if you're asking about a Team Orion or Peak Performance motor.

Anytime you are at SoCal, all the Pro Drivers that pit in the back are all willing to help people out.
Red and Silver compound tires work better on different track surfaces. Tracks like Hot Rod and SRS that blue groove, Reds work the best on the rear and Silvers work best on the front. The Reds give you allot of traction and the Silvers help smooth out the steering. Tracks like Competition Hobbies we ran Silver tires front and rear with slicks.
Hope this helps,
JP

I have a 4 wd buggy (BJ4 WE) and I will be running mod on a hard packed outdoor track that has a little loose dirt on top and they water the track every so often. I would like to get your guys input on tire selection since most of the local racers are running nitro.
Thanks!
i also have a bj4we and race on a hard packed red clay outdoor track as well. i have found that holeshots seem to work the best. i use m3's rear most of the time. if i need more steering, i'll use an m3 holeshot in the front.....for less steering, i'll use a losi blockhead in silver (they never wear-out).
if the track grooves......red tapers....and depending on steering, either a red or silver taper in the front.
the basic rule of thumb is.........pro-line when it's wet.....losi when it's dry.
Have you ever been to Pit Stop Hobbies? Sounds like the same dirt. Hole Shots will work Losi tires will work it all depends on the track. What is the name of the track? I have hit one track in VA The tiltyard.
