Tire Options for 1/16 Mini Slash
I have been read through many forum threads about different tire options for the 1/16 mini E-revo, however I could not find any helpful info about tire options for the 1/16 mini Slash.
Just to clarify this thread should only include non-stock tire options that users do not have to mod the truck in anyway. So include only tires/wheels that fit the stock car without cutting the truck body/hex mods/axle mods. I just got these HPI On-Road Touring Tires (HPI4702 - Mounted X-pattern Tire D compound) for $35.99 at my LHS. These tires fit perfectly on the mini Slash and are actually slightly smaller then the stock tires. They do fit the 12mm hex as well, so you will not need to mod your car in anyway or buy anything extra. These tires are a great option to race your mini Slash on road surfaces without wearing your stock tires down to nubs (like I have within a half week of playing). I will post pictures and a brief wheel spec with dimensions soon. If other people have bought non-stock wheels or tires please post in this thread since I'm dying to know what else fits/works well. |
I saw some Kyosho mini-pins on the Toyz site that I think look good for my Mini Slash Buggy. Otherwise I like the HPI Soft Rally tires or the Vintage tires. HPI offers a large amount of wheel options for these tires. The Mini-Revo should have tons of tires. just choose any 10th scale 2.2 buggy tires. The Mini Slash is limited to the 10th scale road tires.

This thread is only for non modded tire/wheel options. The goal of this thread is to also let others know what you have/what worked for you. Please try not to post general info about tire options. If you know something that worked list a way we can track the item and a picture if possible. (Doh! still need to add in mine). |
Vendetta ST wheels/tires are a direct fit and your choices between the blocks and D-bars is all you need to shred!!! and they look bada$$:nod:

Trim out the wheel wells.

Those Vendetta ST D-Bar tires look good. I see that they are 1mm wider and 2mm smaller. What rims would you choose. I suspect that a 0-offset rim would be required to best fit under the body. The Duratraxx rims seem to have an offset.
I will not trim my Mini Slash Body...(assuming I put it back on after switching to a Mini Inferno buggy body).... |
Oh and sorry for being a little off topic with the E-Revo. The 10th scale road tire comment is still correct. I was not considering any foam tires anyway and you always have to match the 12mm hex nut.

What I was looking for is a wheel that had a different offset for the Duratraxx tires. I can't find anything.
I just noticed that Tamiya M-Chassis tires and wheels look pretty close. They have a tire that would work for carpet which is what I need. |
Oh sorry. Yeah the rally tires might fit.

The Vendetta ST wheels work perfectly. They will not rub the body if you dial in some negative camber....which the truck already needs to prevent traction roll anyhow.
