Types of tires and best places to buy

[BeardLadin]

I bought a short course Senton 3s and it came with dirt tires.

I'm curious where the good and cheap places are to buy new tires.

I know i have a 14mm hex. I imagine there are drift tires that size too but have to been able to find any

I checked it out. Looks like prices are steady wherever you look.


Whats the best thing to get if i wanna drift? All i can find in 14mm is knobby dirt tires

Drifting... im pretty sure u would want slicks or basic street tires and a good selection of those are with 12mm or 17mm. Hot Racing makes a 12mm hex or a 17mm adapter with 10mm offset for the 3s line. The 12mm hex is $8 or so then you could go on pro line or check Duratrax for 12mm

17mm adapters: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/264173538295

Pro line street tires with 12mm: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/312680015752

Drifting I would think you wouldn’t want much of a tire if any. I think a lot of the drifting guys use just hard wheels.

Hard wheels?

Hard wheels?

On my senton 6s I run bald used tires.

No rubber tire. Just a wheel

The ones I have seen where like a plastic thing that looked like a tire on a wheel. https://www.amazon.com/Hobbymarking-Traxxas-Tamiya-Kyosho-Drifting/dp/B0738GZXGM?ref_=fsclp_pl_dp_2
But those are rather small for a sct.

Agreed. You could just put a piece of PVC pipe around your stock tire. ??‍

Okay. Im just gonna have to do a big burnout on my old stock tires then to get them good and treadless. I have had to glue a few of them from splitting when they hit the body. Lets see if it holds!

I feel like that will be less than 0 traction. But ima have to try! Will update with results
