MT vs ST tires and rims

[MrTitanium]

This may be obvious to some, but I was never sure. Please educate me as I’m shopping for new shoes for my BRCC.

TIA

MT=Monster truck.
ST=Stadium truck.

For 1/10, rim size for mt is 2.8”, St are 2.2”

Mt usually comes with external diameter of around 135mm, while st 115mm

But some newer st tires use mt rims but low profile tires to achieve the smaller st diameter.

The brcc won’t fit 2.2 st rims.

As far as like stuff from proline or Duratrax the wheels are both going to be 2.8 wheels but the Mt tires are have a larger diameter than the St. When I get home this afternoon I can take some pics side by side Duratrax Lockup 2.8 MT and 2.8 ST.

Yeah for the BRCC I would go with the MTs, if it was the Vorteks I would say try the ST tires on that. It's weird though even though those are both technically the same tire the MTs have a much softer rubber compound and grip much better than the St tires do.

Actually, I was looking at the Jetko line of tires. Heard of them? Pricey, but they seem better than what Duratrax offers.

There were a few of the Youtubers that got some of their tires for "review" but beyond that not much feedback on them. Idk for $16 it's kind of hard to pass these up https://www.horizonhobby.com/product/lockup-mt-2.8-2wd-mounted-front-c2-tires-black-2/DTXC3506.html


-edit- oooooh shoot do not buy those those are for the front of the Jato.

No worries… already own a complete new set. Thanks though.

Looks for street tires now.
