Those of you running crosslinks on stadium truck have you found out that they are a little too aggressive for the front? I have a set on my T5m and boy does it have some steering. I'm thinking about buying a set of chainlinks just to put in the front to see if it calms the steering down.
I run crosslinks in the rear and chainlinks in the front of my b6d and like it.
Just wondering your thoughts.

I have found chainlinks to be pretty aggressive on the front as well. Of course it all depends on the track, but on a fairly smooth low dust track I run typos on the front. I haven't run them on a ST, but 2WD Short Course and the B44.3 didn't like chainlink fronts at two of the tracks we race.

Need tire advice, running soft I beams on my 1/8 Etruggy and Ebuggy and they work the best on our practice track. My daughter has a SC10 and I am getting an RC10SC5M for Christmas, so which short course tire corresponds to the I beam? It is hard pack dirt that doesn't see a whole lot water.

Hard packed dirt and you are running ibeams? Why not try medium gridirons or medium zipps? Ibeams are for loose loamy tracks that need to be able to cut through the loose stuff

Well maybe hard is not the right word. This is my practice track in the back yard. It is 70% dirt and 30% combination of low cut grass and top soil. It was all packed with a skid steer as it was built, and gets packed with a lawn tractor with weights every time it rains. So as it dries out the dirt part stays packed but gets a layer of dust on it. The top soil gets a little loose. The soft I beams work really good when it is dried out a little to dry and work decent when its freshly packed and damp. I have tried M3 Blockades, soft Impacts, medium Enduros (have these tires for tracks I race at), and Badlands XTR. The Blockades, Impacts and Enduros work great when its wet and freshly packed, but once it dries out they suck. The Badlands only work when it is extremely dry. So trying to find a tire that will work with the 2wd SC trucks without buying a bunch of different sets to try. Something like the soft I beam.

I have found that City Blocks work great everywhere I race.

A lot of people still use AKA tires, their Double Down tire was just used to win the 2018 1/8 Offroad Ifmar World Championship.

Impacts for loose loam, perhaps Gridirons II.. would really need to see the track, but check out their tire guide. 1:8 Buggy Personally I like the Super Soft/Soft Long Wear Double Down on slightly dusty and/or blue groove.

Referring to the poster above me... I would disagree about their pre-mounted glued tires, the current quality is excellent. Now perhaps you got a bad set in 2011, who knows. But I've had nothing but good experience with them and have also heard good things recently about their premounted. Although I currently tend to glue my own because I get them in bulk.

More like no one can GET aka tires anymore. I run them when they are available.
