Outcast Good Tire Option (And Cheap)

[72Z15SS]

Sure - no problem! (Yes, I'm a little obsessed with tires and rc's... Lol)

From left to right:

-Kraton v2 Dboots (good for speed off road)
-Proline Super Swampers (I hate these and regret buying)
-Associated Rival tire I believe (not bad at all)
-3.8 Regular Proline Badlands (light/fast/good)
-Stock Nero tire (Pretty good in all conditions)
-Outcast Backflips (Obviously likeable)
-Formerly Linked/discussed tire from Nitrorcx.com or whatever (discussed already and are nice!)
-Proline 40 series Trenchers (Also very nice..)

You need to build a tire rack for all those wheels.

Embarrassingly, that's not all of them.... Lol

Just thought I'd share. Just took these out on 6s with the stock pinion and they performed wonderfully. No more ballooning than stock (seemingly less).

They were actually like 7 grams lighter than the Back flip tires, despite being a tad larger diameter also.

And they look good. But most importantly, pretty cheap. ($38 for four cheap).

Cool and I just ordered a Big Rock.

Good thing, because the price went back up!

Glad I jumped on it.

New wheels just arrived. I'll post some pics later...

When I click the link the price is $19. Is that for 2 of them, or just 1?

2 TIRES

Well this just became an easy decision.

 

[72Z15SS]

Just a word of advice: The wheels I bought fit the Kraton and probably the Talion and Outcast, but I tried them on the Nero and the I.D. of the rim is too small. This goes for ALL Neros, Fazon etc. I bought the smaller sidewall ones but I like them on the Kraton!

The other set I bought compared to the Stock Nero wheels

ordered a set for my big rock

These may not fit the Big Rock. I tried them on my Fazon and the rim won't fit around the rear hub.

that sucks I ordered some for my big rock the larger ones

Have you tried these on the Nero? Mine should be here today, was just wondering if the fit. Thank you

 

[72Z15SS]

Douger, wish they came earlier so I could warn you, I saw you ordered them...
Napalm, I tried them on the Fazon which is the Nero platform so I'm guessing they wont fit... Don't shoot the messenger; but the rear hub is much larger than the Kraton, Talion etc. I posted that as soon as I tried them.
I'm hoping you guys get lucky and they DO fit, but mine won't. That's the problem with the website, they don't even tell you the quantity. I read the reviews and took a chance.

Hex size (17mm) I.D/ O.D. of tire etc. Also depends on the car you will be putting them on.

So a particular vehicle model eg. Nero doesn't call for a particular specification for the replacement tire?
You actually have to try it and see?

Not necessarily, The Proline wheels would fit as long as they're the 3.8" size rims w/17mm hex. They're listed in the 1/10th scale wheel/tire set section on Tower Hobbies website. Also Duratrax 3.8" wheels fit... That's just a couple of options.

You tried the wheels from the very first post?

 

[DOUGER]

that's what I was wondering

 

[72Z15SS]

Yes, I tried both sets of wheels on the Nero and not enough clearance.

 

[Dopeman]

What's the overall diameter on those? Would the fit a Senton?
