Like the tires, should be fun in dirt or on grass!
Not to fond on the white rims though, would probably give them a quick black paint spray.
The rebrand of Duratrax (Louise) also has some nice belted (MFT) ST tires (ST Hummer/Pioneer/Uphill) maybe that’s an option if they non belted can’t handle the power.

4082 LEOPARD

Did you mount it with the M3 screws or did you tap it to M4 screws?

That's unfortunate, I've had zero issues with the triggers and the lockups.. I prefer them actually... out of the 2 I like the lockups a little more, on the black spoked rim option they look sweet..?

I didn't feel confident in drilling into a brand new motor,so I tried m3 and 30ish runs with zero issues,I've kept close eye on it an it has seamed to work for me...NOT ALL THAT IMPRESSED WITH THE LEOPARD 4082 2000KV.RUNS A LITTLE COOLER THAN STOCK.VERY LITTLE POWER DIFFERENCE ALSO.TP FOR ME NOW ON.⁹

I have not.. I'm pretty stuck on the lockups, and they have been very reliable.. tread wear is minimal as well which I like..?

I thought Duratrax was the rebrand and Louise Rc was the OEM?

Not sure how the corporate/legal structure look like ? or which name was first, I thought in the USA it’s branded as Duratrax and in Europe (and Asia?) it’s Louise. I just call them Louise and try to mention it could also be Duratrax to avoid the question “Who is Louise”??

I'm not 100% sure on that either. First time I had ever seen the Louise tires was on Asia Tees then it took me like an entire year to realize they were the same as Duratrax.

However Louise has quite a few tires that Duratrax doesn't.

Not even a full pack.usely its one of the fronts to go first.not many tires can hang with this truck.hardrubber tears easy specialty when its 12 degrees outside

 

[Sandracer_NL]

Time for belted tires.

 

[K-BASH]

If I could find some belted 1/8 buggy tires I'd buy um for sure.guess ill stick to mx m2s.GOOD QUILTY TIRES ARE HARD TO COME BY..

Have you tried the eBay cheapos? https://www.ebay.com/itm/1-8-Big-Bl...851320?hash=item2f45a43138:g:L6wAAOSw2ENW73AI

I vented mine and run them on 6s on my Vorza all the time, I have had them for about 2 years now.

My suggestion for running any tires is to take them off the rim, flip them inside out, and put tape on the inside diameter. That will give you internal belting. Use something strong like duct tape, gorilla tape, etc. Then to vent them, use a leather punch tool. Harbor freight has one for $6.99. Then glue with strong tire glue and let them cure for two days.

I've seen guys take this a step father and wrap the inside, you can also do the outside, of the tires with Kevlar kite string or braided fishing line.
