Default B4.1 brushless question

This thing hooks up assome when i am running my panthers in the clay. But sometimes i run on the road with my kid and i cant get traction to save my life on the stock tires.... Any good ideas... One more thing i am only using a 5000mah nimh when i run on the street.

You can pick up some Pro-Line Road Rage tires, they would do better, but ideally you would want to stiffen up the suspension quite a bit for street use.

You could lose up the slipper clutch and get some street tires.

try also tightening up the diff too. This will increase traction too.

I have an rtr b4.1 that i now use to do a little bashing and testing on.

If you want something that hooks up, lasts a long time and can run in dirt, grass, whatever, look at proline's dirt hawg tires. The rear ones fit perfect, but the fronts are actually made for 1/10 4wd buggy. They fit the rims fine but are a little larger in both diameter and width to accommodate the 4wd drivetrain.

Once you are hooked up you may traction roll without stiffening the suspension. And you will be pulling wheelies on asphalt and concrete. Ive beat the snot out of mine and they are barely showing any wear yet.
