Kraton ARRMA Kraton 6S Tires...

[Nerd]

Hey it is me again! I was running my Kraton this evening and blew a tire. I run on pavement a lot and was wondering if anyone had opinions on good tires. I did not run on these very long and the one blew out. I ran it pretty hard I absolutely love this thing.


Any suggestions?

duratrax bandito tires are good for road driving.

Were these vented ? When a tire " free wheels " and you flor it and send that one tire crazy speed is usually how this happens , venting them does help .

You have to re-glue your tires and change diff oils or you will blow out tires.
You might want to get an on-road rig, comes with new tires
GRP tires are good but Kraton will look a little odd with them.
On road with off road tires will get expensive fast. Sweeps roadcrushers might work but they get expensive fast.

Sweeps are kinda fragile. Good, but pretty bad for curbs/jumps. 3.8MT Banditos are the way to go, just be a hair cautious with the throttle if you have one tire off the ground, they balloon fast.

I did nothing to the tires accept abuse them lol. I am new to the hobby and really enjoying it and when something breaks I go well that sucks but now I know. I was full throttle on pavement and it looked like a white flag flying out saying I give up.

Get bandito 3.8 belted

Check your tire beads prior each session and buy some super thin CA. Normal for them to come apart at the bead but easy to catch and repair. A drop will do.

If you do, might have to drop your pinion a tooth and get a motor fan. Non-belted are already really heavy, belted may be heavier.

 

[#ARRMArcfanboy4life]

yes you will but for me I run dual motor fans on a 13 tooth pinion so I can't get much lower than that

These are ok, hard as a rock. They do need a lot of help to balance. I like them on the street and grass. No good on the dirt but 60 to 70 no problem

I'm leaning towards proline street fighter 3.8 belted myself.

I understand its 4WD but do I have to replace all four at the same time?

 

[jkflow]

No need to change all 4 at once but you should roughly have the same amount of wear on each axle.

Found a good deal on eBay, I have a question I got the pop-up for 3 years protection for $3.99... Is this true anything that happens like what happened above the warranty will cover it?

Sure they will and sell you some swamp land to go with it. Seriously, no experience with it but good luck trying. Read the fine print, I bet it's manufacturing defects etc but not improper use and abuse.
