Vendetta Tire longevity for the vendetta

[redboy]

I’m thinking about buying 2 of these for myself and son , just wondering how long will these tires last ? Will be just parking lot bashing , I’m sure my son will be doing all kinds of burnouts etc . He tends to drive his cars like he stole them … thanks

Just looking for some basic feedback with the tires as I’m new to the on road scene, I’ve been strictly off road for years …. Thanks again

They won't last very long with a heavy trigger finger.. Maybe 1 pack and a half.

BUT if you set it 50% throttle setting (on the transmitter) and super glue it there, he won't be the wiser.
And you'll "probably" keep the tires for a bit longer.


PS: should have asked.. How old is your son?

He’s 17 going on 30 …. Are you serious with 1-2 runs the tires are done ??
Man I love these new rc cars , however I miss the old school cars those tires lasted forever …

Oh boy...
He's of driving age..
You're going to have a tough time -having him control those

Here's how mine looks..

Helps (a little) IF you remember to rotate your tires after each session...

I agree with Tex. Set the transmitter on 50% for your son. Also only allow him to drive on grass. Also insist he buy his own tires.

 

[Mikeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeal]

Take that $360 in savings and buy more tires.

Agreed.
Take your boy to your local hobby shop and scope out some tire prices..

Have him buy his own first Two FULL sets of tires.**
Then he'll know right quick how much they will cost.






**Cause he'll need them!

+1,
Yeah, want to play burnout and drifting, plan on having extra sets of tires around. They make better quality ones for serious speed running, but cost more for better traction Just buy whatever is cheapest. Traction is not a concern if just drifting and all. Because you will be trashing them fast, hooning around and all. Your mileage will vary. We all drive differently and with different surfaces.

My oldest (13) just purchased a vendetta with his “own” money he’s going to find out pretty quickly what tire longevity is

Out of all my road cars the Vendetta has the best tire wear. I can go 15 packs easily. I own the 11s and dboots for it.

Black top road 100% throttle , is there another setting?

 

[Tex Koder]

... 100% throttle , is there another setting?

No ,sir.

That is the minimum AF default setting!

Black top road ...

Would you happen to have a photo of this (apparently buttery smooth) road?

Just looked I don't, but taking my new Losi drag truck out in a little later will take pics and the road was resurfaced last July.

Here you go. Fastest I have gone is 90 on this road. The road has a decent hill.

Woah I must have got 2 bad pairs of 11's cause after 10 pavement speed runs at the most they was almost worn to the rim
