Also the number of cells has nothing to do with the scale factor..

I don't know about what they'd be like at 80mph, but these Louise(Duratrax) Tires & Wheels X-UPHILL X-Maxx (MFT) (2) LT3297B are holding up well on my 8s Kraton running a Max 5 combo with the 56113 motor, I've done a few full throttle passes with a 34t pinion and stock spur with great control and virtually no ballooning at all.
The Hex size is perfect, you just have to use a step drill to increase the size of the axle hole slightly, super easy to do.
"Micro Fiber Tech (MFT) is a new innovation and technology which combines a unique woven belt and a special adhesive formula that perfectly bonds within the carcass of the tires. Therefore, its quality is retained over the entire lifetime of the product.
During driving, MFT belted technology effectively reduces and limits the rate of distortion and deformation of the tire, which provides a much more stable and a pleasant driving experience – especially at the high speeds that today’s RC cars are capable of achieving! MFT belted technology not only enhances the durability of the tire but also provides ultimate performance, traction and grip.
Feature:
A new innovation and technologyReduced weightReduced tire ballooning at high speedsA more rigid and consistent overall tire structureReduced distortion and flexIncreased stability and more even contact with the road surface More grip, longer tire life and reliability"

My question about these is are either heavy you know? That's why I'm looking for new smaller one's because I already have some lockup X MT tires that are very similar to these and all four of them put some decent weight on the rig and of course they don't have only street threading on them also. @Primarrma

These might fit the bill, however they are back ordered till January...
Not sure about their weight either. Gone bananas are probably your best option for speed runs, if that’s your goal.

Louise tires are same as duratrax... the duratrax tires get branded that way for US sales.
Bandito X do ok but they wont hold up to higher speeds. Like 70-80 tops and they will start to come unglued so be careful if you go that route.
Rick is about 260 for a set of the banana foams. He's out of commission for a bit due to a shoulder surgery. In the meantime you could try these tires - https://cardinalracing.com/collecti...s/tyre-180-mm-asphalt-blue-medium-17-sp-wheel
They are for a 5th scale MCD car. They have a 24mm hex so they should bolt on. I have some for my MCD rally so Ill try them on my k8s to make sure they fit but they should work. I ran them on my xmaxx once. Personally I've done 90mph on these and i believe they will take a little more speed. They arent very tall is the only thing so you will need more gearing to compensate for the shorter size.

Ok awesome thank you very much! I am aware of gone bananas and I do want a set of tires but when I'm able to get some I will for sure! I'm going to check out the ones you just tagged and see what's up with those! Thank you again for all your help and feedback buddy I really appreciate it! Follow up with me when you put them on your K8S, do you have the stock set up or have your upgraded anything?

Ok haha yea I don't do stock either I start upgrading almost right away! But I seen the oic of them on ur k8S so thats good they actually do fit i like the white spoke one's but I want them in another color! I never did any dye yet so I'll have to look that up if white is the only color they have lol
You can get rit dye from craft stores. Look up videos on youtube on how to do it. Just grab a pan or something from a thrift store since the dyes aren't meant to be food safe. don't want to use a pan you cook with to dye them haha!
On that site you can find the wheels and tires separately to purchase. Dye the wheels then glue them and youll he set. I think he sells straps to hold the tires ok the wheels while the glue sets also. I bought some but not from that store.

No. Scale is size of vehicle. Nothing to do with esc/motor/batteries.
I'm curious to see just how big this is.... pic please
Not sure how I missed this reply. He said he's going in a different direction slightly. Somthin about 14s idk?
Its the size of an 8s kraton. It's just an 8s kraton with a more powerful motor and better motor control. If you have anything 6s just think of it as like 2-1/2 times larger.
