Raptor1410 34 Posted February 19, 2022 Anyone one out there any suggestions for some rear road tyres for a blitzer beetle. Put a blue brushless in with a 2s and ripping up the tyres now on tarmac. Fun but expensive and want to save the tyres for off road. Nearly slicks now lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frog Jumper 3605 Posted February 19, 2022 The blitzer wheels are 2.2”. Any on road tire in that size should fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Busdriver 6207 Posted February 19, 2022 Aqroshot/street rover tyres fit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alvinlwh 5846 Posted February 20, 2022 You might have to consider toning down your punch/boost/whatever it is called. I find that even with a silver can, I can tear road tyres up (depending on car of course). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Killajb 1530 Posted February 20, 2022 Grippy road tires come with a bit of a curse on the Blitzer chassis as it makes for easy traction rollovers (at least with my heavy plastic Blitzer Beetle shell). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Klausen 1197 Posted February 21, 2022 These came with the chrome edt. They don’t have much traction though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you say they are not the grippiest. As much a I love Blitzers, I have 2 , they are not the best street cars! But they are heaps of fun. On my brushless one I run Schumacher V2/4 combination. This gives them pretty decent all round grip but Tarmac is like sandpaper and will wear them down quick especially with brushless!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is not to bad but does slip out and not gone brushless yet, still waiting on delivery. I use it in woods mainly but live on quiet road and fun just to take it out for a bit with road tyres on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How do they perform on road bud? Decent grip? Is it just off road where you're getting poor traction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Off road is fine with orginal tyres. Is not dreadful but not great. They are fairly hard compound though. May try something softer on the rear. Maybe try a pair of prolines 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Klausen 1197 Posted February 21, 2022 Not much traction onroad, as raptor1410 says, compound is rather hard. Agree Proline might the way to go. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor1410 34 Posted February 21, 2022 Just got some fastrax arrows for my firedragon. Very nice indeed. Soft and sticky but am told last well. Give a lovely feel to the car also. May try them on beetle but bit on small side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
