Better tire, Imex all T or Mud slinger 2.6

[jetboy]

Thinking of running one of these on my GP . Either the imex all t wides or the rc4wd mud slinger 2.6 with a set of imex diamond rims, but would like some feed back from some off you guys first. the truck will most likley be a mild basher mud slinger and what not.

Both the Clod sized All Ts and the Slingers are very heavy tires, much heavier than stock Clod tires which are already heavy for the GP.

Heavy as in broken axle heavy, or just over all strain on the truck. I dont mind the wrech time , but this truck wont be beaten too bad. mostly just kreepin around. I just want a good looking tire that pulls pretty good

I guess it depends on how much power you plan to put on it and how you drive it. No one's really tested the GP in a crawling type situatiion where you'd have the tire wedged and have a lot of torque on it. Not saying you'll be crawling but a truck sunk down in mud or driving around with a lot of mud caked on the tires is under similar stress. For me, I feel like the Clod tires is pushing it already which was why I heavily shaved mine.

you might try the Imex truck puller clod size or the RC4WD Rumble tires both are light and have a nice aggressive tread pattern.

yeah I had also considered those as well. we will see what happens

I have the Imex diamond rims on my GP, with RC4WD B&H Clod tires.
I broke an axle housing once.
That was my fault though, I made the truck jump over a curb at an angle, and it landed on the right rear.
The tires I run are lighter then a stock clod and definitely lighter then a Jugg tire.
Like Will said if you want a light tire, the Rumbles are good.
The RC4WD B&H's though, have taller treads that grip very well.

Up in the RCMT gallery yes I do. Just so you know, if you go with the diamond wheels, and the B&H tires, you will have to stretch the tires over the wheels. The diamond wheels are a larger diameter then Clodbuster wheels. The B&H tires are designed for Clodbuster wheels. It is not too difficult to stretch the tires over these wheels.
