Maxx tires for very dusty condition?

[QUAKEnSHAKE]

Any of you run on very dusty surface. Thick dust on top of hard dirt not
bluegroove though.. What tread pattern have you used to hook-up on it?

This is what nobblies were designed for!

If you run them on packed ground they'll wear out really quickly but they'll
give you the most grip on dusty or loose surfaces.

Almost any mini-pin style tyre, soft compounds .. ;)

Bow Ties would be good .. ;)

Or the Traxxas sporttraxx; similar to the bowtie in performance. I
don't know how they compare in cost. I ran sportraxx all weekend and
really liked them. Much more bite on dirt/street than the stock
ag-tire stuff.

I guess the other option to investigate is the new tyres which will be
available for the Revo, apparently the rims are bigger but the OD of the
tyres is the same, so there will be less sidewall flex I guess. I'm going to
try some on my T-Maxx when I need replacements.

I agree, the SportTrax tires look like a good choice.
Tuff to get right now though.

Imex Step Dawg but would these be for looser dirt condition/loomy not
dusty/ hard dirt?

Here are the SportTraxx They do look like they'll work but cost some
$20/4 more. Frater you ran these on a paved street or dirt road?

Well while at the lhs I meet a person and he and a friend ran at the
same dusty place his friend has a savage with Zombie Maxx tires. The guy
say the tires did real well on the stuff. The lhs had a pair and they
are real soft and do look like they will work and not just on that dust
but other areas so thats what Im getting. The other pair be here
Tuesday. I also ordered a new body Pro-line F350 supecrew 13-15" wb.

Would have to use Revo wheels too; the Revo tire/wheel is a side
bead grabbing setup like you find on larger scale buggys/trucks.
