      what about proline 2.2 Mashers that look pretty nice for thick grass and loose gravel. I personnaly with experiance dont like ribbed tires as the dont seem to last as long as the deep tread.. but this might have been because i was using tamiya ribbed tyres of the stadium thunder pretty bad…

      mashers are for monster trucks and dirt hogs were made for 4wd trucks.

      use either proline bow tie t’s in the back losi silver or gold step pin or fuzzys and pro line the edge up front.

      you got a 2wd stadum truck why dont you use the tires that are made for it. mashers are made for 2wd monster trucks like stampeed ect. dirt hawgs are got street/hard packed clay or dirt.

      1 thing you must remember is that a staduem trucs trans is not like a monster truck trans you cant spin a par of machers its gonna be to hard on your trans eng. ect.

      you want somthing with long whare and high grip use step pin and nip them “cut the tips of the pins off” this will give you more traction.

      go to the losi web site or the proline web site and ask them there gonna tell you the same stuff i ben telling you.

      only 4wd cars come with dirt hogs there a deep street tred they suck off road unless your cars 4wd.

      mashers have tomuch grip and a stadum truck cant handle it becouse your gonna need some extra balls ta spinn them about a 15 turn or less and i used a alu. top shaft in my losi and i had sand paws on it “step up from the mashers” and used a 9turn single and snaped the part of my topshaft that goes to my slipty in 1/2

      what about dirt hawgs on the back and the x pattern on the front? cause dirt hawgs r supposedly made for 4wd trucks but if they r only on the back wit the x pattern on the front shouldnt it be pretty good then?

      theres a reason stadeum trucks all use pin type on the back and ribed on the front.

      and that is…..

      is it so that the back tires sit where they are but still spin and the front ones use ribbed so they can move forwards and side to side right
