Here is a photo of my Traxxas Slash RC truck, it has been modified as of late, and has been raced and punished a lot, but this tank never fails

they came off of a Redcat, I wouldn't suggest getting them though, they make the trucks ESC and motor overheat yer better off keeping with stock size tires, Proline Switch tires offer great traction, I should know, I have them on the tail of the truck, and they keep the rear end glued through the corners of my favorite track when I race
well the front tires should match the rears at most times, if you use the same tire in the front as the rear, you should get more agreeable handling, although you should lower the ride hight of the truck if running it on pavement, the stock hight has a tendency to roll over when cornering, I learned this on a clay track, and the Proline Switch tires don't wear too quick, mine have about 20 races and 86 bashing runs on them, they should last nicely, also, check out some of the other pics of my slash, I have more mods on the truck than this pic has, I really can't list em all right now, but you can see them in the pics
Hey, I just got one of these, and I was reading though the manual, and it says that
Use lower gearing (smaller pinion gears, as low as 12T or spur gear as large as 90T) when running in mud, deep puddles, snow, or other similar situations that will restrict the tires and put much higher loads on the motor.
Would I need to do this if I just wanted to go over light dirt or grass? Or even snow less than 1 inch deep?

well I would say that you should use a more torque producing set up for the gears, just don't expect the motor to be the only one you need, sealed can motors due burn out, mine did in a violent way, caught the truck ablaze. if you really want some power and reliability, go brushless, I will be as soon as I can. also, keep a good supply of tires on hand, I'm burning my second pair of tires off of the rear. if you have any more questions just ask
Well, I won't be using it THAT much...
I will see how it does on snow-covered pavement pretty soon. I can't try it on grass or other such things until Spring.

Hey there!
I did my first outdoor video with it. Thought you might like to see it.
