Hey AF,
Was wondering what the best tires for the Kraton 6s are.

Forgot about these..I have them on my 6s Outcast.Backflip MT
Yeah, great tires for nearly any terrain.. except mines.. hard pack clay. Need mini pins to hook up on clay. Wish someone would make a tire capable of taking 6s power and grip the clay..Forgot about these..I have them on my 6s Outcast.
You got any pic's of your track? I've heard you mention it before..hard pack clay.
Yep..Tires to avoid...TRX. Any.. just my opinion of course, but dang, they just suck in every way for me.
Nice! Pretty sweet spot. You look like you've gotten good at avoiding trees Stupid stick..Tires to avoid...TRX. Any.. just my opinion of course, but dang, they just suck in every way for me.

Well, I don't know how good at avoiding them I am.. but I tend to hit them less these days,LOL.Nice! Pretty sweet spot. You look like you've gotten good at avoiding trees Stupid stick..
Agreed, these 6s rigs handle really well with more modestly sized tires installed..really depends on what we want to do with them.We all have our favorites. I like my DTX zero offset Truggy Pin tires ( X-Cons), or any Truggy Race tires And also the Arrma BF LP's for my 6s Kraton. Both types great for grass and dirt. I prefer Low Profile and "lighter" tires overall, Drivetrain is more quickly responsive, the way I like to drive.
This with all stocker Electrics, a DS3235 Servo, and Tightened SS on my K6S.
Best to have both IMO. LP's are great for handling, MT's for stunting and rough terrain.BAckflip 6S line, but I would recommend the Backflip 4S.
The 6S are heavy, still use them myself but wish I'd taken the 4S route.
Right? I really have yet to find a desire or good use for the CH tires.. they're too thin and lack grip IMO.I like tires and wheels That perform. Not ones that '"Look Cool" in pix and on the shelf. i have many tires like that that already. Like the CH 2's. I think they suck IMHO. I never run them. They are my shelf queen tires. New and not used at all.
My son likes the Look of the 6s BF on his 6s Noto. But i think he now sees the differnce with BF Lp's, less traction rolling. And the taller 6s BF's balloon way too much , blow out more easily, and last half as long as the LP's. Only due to blowouts. CH2's also even worse in this regard. CH 2's have a much thinner rubber. BF wheels are way stronger than the CH2's as well.
I also Never go with "directional" treads for off road rigs. The FT wheels are the only exception. And I would recommend them highly, very durable IMHO.Glued up very well. Wheels are almost indestructable. But they are rather tall. Great for very a heavy rig like my FT clearly is. Its the heaviest 6s rig out the box that Arrma makes. FT tires are expensive. probably for this reason. they are stout. Maybe not the prettiest wheel. But def performs.
I think thats the general consensus here it boils down to your driving style. For me the stock are absolutely perfect since all I love to do is send it to the moon all day long.Hey AF,

Yeh i like to strap mine down when i get em brandnew like yours . you know WOODEN, and carve em out real good round the edges to get em rounded that way it don't beat itself plumb apart when you do them good ole fast speed runs ya kno ! LMFAO ............ come again ! 10-4 biggin works wounders too!!!I like round ones, better for higher speeds. The wooden blocks mine came with didn't handle well..
In what world do 6s bf's blow out easier than bf lp? I call 100% bs on that. I've exploded enough bf lp's to know, there is a reason I run backflip mt on all my overpowered rigs and it's not because they blow up. I can see an argument for "handling" but in no way shape or form are bf lps more durable than bf mt.I like tires and wheels That perform. Not ones that '"Look Cool" in pix and on the shelf.

FT tires are expensive. probably for this reason. they are stout. Maybe not the prettiest wheel. But def performs. And fairly light considering its size. And inner and outer beads are staggered. Much like a SCT or Mojave stocker wheel is. Mojave wheels are pretty durable also. I bought spares when I got my V1 Mojave, yet I am still running the original Fortess Mojave tires years later with my V1 Mojave.
