I've seen a few posts about best tire suggestions, but I cant figure out the best solution for my situation.
I just built a Kraton EXB 1/8th scale, powered with the Spektrum Firma 160 amp esc, Firma 1250KV Motor, currently running 2 Spektrum 3s batteries (6S) and a 23 tooth pinion. I might in the future run 2 4s batteries (8S), but not anytime soon.
The truck handled the power just fine with the 20 tooth pinion, but this past weekend I made a run down the street with the 23 tooth, and half the foam from one tire flew out a small hole. I have a feeling it's partly because the foam got wet from a previous run, but I'm curious to see if there is an overall better tire for the truck.
I'm mostly going to be bashing on job sites and occasionally on the street. I'd like to keep the handling aspect of the truck the same or better, especially with traction and big jumps. I'm not sure if belted or non belted is better, or will add life to the tire.
Thank you in advance!
