Kraton EXB v2 rtr and Outcast EXB belted tire recommendation?

[cazrack]

Merry Christmas everyone

Wheels/tires are expensive so some feedback would be nice.

I have the stock tires on both that I guess works good in grass?
Winter now cant test them on grass.

Both have hobbywing 800kv gen 1 motor and both will run 39:39

Want to buy a set of belted tires that can be used with both, at the moment I only run on pavement, snow and grass.
Guessing the stock tires works good for balloning with jumps so this is more about control in higher speeds.

Any advice?

Not exactly "belted" but mx43 the best tires ever and even hold up to 12s.

jetko is on sale from small addictions, they are belted but absolute trash on wet grass. I use mx57 for wet grass

MX43 seem very robust but I am not gonna do 12s

Someone may find this useful to watch.

The MX57 wheels is (belted) nice and expensive but people seem to have rims break easy, maybe its corrected nowadays.

It was probably like 60f or so and the rim was the only thing that broke. I had to replace the tire with the nw mx57 with removeable hubs

I've never had a single bad thing happen with mx43 though, think I own at least 4 sets now too haha.

So what do you think of the performance difference between MX43 and MX57?

mx57 are lighter so technically better for temps. mx43 are more durable in every regard though and offer better air control for jumps. You also never have to worry about tires coming unglued with the mx43.
