6s Backflips tread wear after 30 runs

[vindazzle]

this is probably 90% road speed runs. i think i should've gotten a talion? lol maybe i should invest on those pro line street fighters but not sure how long they'll last.

That seems great for 30 runs! Our senton tires barely lasted 3 runs on pavement.

My dboots katar lasted less than 10 runs on cement

Backflips last so much longer than katars.

The talion Katars?

My 6s backflips show almost no wear with a lot of high speed runs through a sweeping corner.

Looks pretty good to me. That's just how it goes when running blacktop or asphalt with off road tires. Maybe some hoons or similar for road running? I find Arrmas tires to be very good for rtr.

Was thinking of proline street fighters but it cost a lot.

That is amazing! That is how a stock senton 3s tire looks after two runs on pavement

I can tell those methodRC tires from anywhere! I love them for going fast on road.

It's a beast and sounds like one too!

Those look sick! I gotta get me some of them!

Edit: oooo..they're even heavier than backflips, maybe not

I think belted tires tend to be heavier than their counterparts. They worked out great for my Kraton but they are definitely heavier.

I was hoping they were normal sized it's hard to tell in that picture and I'd never seen em before.

I love big tires but backflips are the absolute heaviest weight I will go. After my pinion experiment I'm actually thinking about getting backflip LPs instead going a little lighter so I can gear up and time down instead of using max punch.

My Kraton runs them making it a whole pound lighter and even with squeaky bearings it takes being geared up 2 teeth higher than my Noto like it's nothing. I thought it was playing with the esc timing..but after setting the Noto up exactly the same I did not get the same result. Only think I can think of is that extra pound at the wheels.
