Best tyres for Tamiya overlander

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Was just wondering if anyone would know best tires setup for brushless WT01, as the original spike tires does not have any grip at all, the only best grip I can get out of this tires is on grass.

Have anyone try the tires for HSP or redcat from ebay? are the any good?

Thanks :)

The soft spiky tyres offered on the GF-01 Heavy Dump seem to grip very well, but you'd need a different set of wheels to use them.

@Vickz1601 what country are you in.

The best for the WT01 chassis are the 135/70 chevron tyres which are on my Blackfoot Xtreme below. These are the biggest volume tyres that are direct fit to 2.2 wheels, as slightly bigger than wheelie king tyres.

These come on rims which have the wrong offset but the tyres & foams are 2.2 so fit straight on the standard Tamiya rims. 

They have loads of grip and give a much better scale look to the truck.

They vary from £25 per set shipped these days.

Those HSP tyres & rims are the wrong offset for these trucks so bring the wheels onboard considerably more and they can rub. You can use wheel spacers though plus they grip well.

These are the ones you want. Rims don't fit but tyres go straight on the standard Tamiya 2.2s
