Which tires?

[Bigpoppa99]

Which tires are a good upgrade for this truck? I see some people use the duratrax six pack, but can somebody link me to the correct tires? Or any other suggestions? Also which rims should I get?

I don't race, just bash and looking for a tire that hooks up good on loose/dry dirt track

Proline trenches all the way!! I just put a set of premounted on my amp db they hook up great on loose/dusty ground.

Yep they are 12mm hex I'm in Canada so if your in the states prob way cheaper.

Do you have a pic of them on the amp?

On my amp buggy I run pro-line trenchers with beadlocks on the rear, and duratrax six pack's or lockup's in the front. This is a good combo for loose/loamy tracks. My buddy runs pro-line badlands they are a nice tire also. For hard pack high grip tracks I run pro-line holeshots.

 

[Bigpoppa99]

Would it be fine to run Trenchers on the back and front?

Also, is there two different Proline SC Trenchers like two different sizes? I think I found one labeled "X" or something like that. Or is the ones K0N377R linked the correct ones I need?

I'm still using stock fronts only because I love the tread very close to the trencher. They seem to hook up pretty well the only down fall is they have no foam inserts. But with the way I got this beast running I'm running right beside my buddies 4x4 slash on my track.

On another subject the last time I was running it I was having some weird issues. When I steer left it steers but I also get forward throttle. And when I turn right I get reverse throttle. any thoughts??

I think Trencher X are the huge 3.8 tires, they would turn your amp into a ruckus lol

 

[Bigpoppa99]

So the link k0n3r77 posted are the huge ones then right? Can somebody link me to the correct ones

The link clearly says 2.2/3.0 that would be the size you want.

Yea Trencher X SC are ok, Trencher X are the huge ones.

 

[Bigpoppa99]

Im still confused on the size. I dont want big huge tires, I am happy with the stock size, so which of these Trenchers would I need to get? Take not of the Proline Stock number, im assuming something is different.

[X]

@Bigpoppa99 , the ones you listed are functionally the same size ( trencher X is .03 inch wider). The difference is the tread. The trencher X has no sidewall tread, while the standard trencher does.

I don't have experience with either tire. By looking at the pictures though, it looks like the trencher X is better suited to the Amp. The trencher looks more like a crawler's tire.

I have the trenchers on my slash, definitely not crawler tires they are too hard. They are great tires, traction on anything dirt, mud, concrete. I run them on 4s and they balloon only a little for a pre-mounted tire. I'll take a pic comparing my son's amp tire for you. (I put the trencher on the amp)

 

[Bigpoppa99]

Do they grip better on loose dirt than the stock ones?

 

[mikel81]

I have never driven them on the amp but they dig ruts and throw dirt. I was happy with how well they drove on loose dirt trails.
