    Pitbull tires compound question

    I've been searching everywhere and couldn't get an answer: I read that Pitbull Tires used to make a Komp compound and now they are making an Alien compound. Apart from the fact that general consensus seems to state that the Alien compound is better on everything, compared to the Komp, my...

    Insert/foam recommendations and suggestions for 4.19's?

    I just picked up a set of 4.2 Duratrax Pivots and 4.2 Jconcept Megalithics for my scaler. I've had good results using the injora silicones in my 4.5 and 4.75 tires on this rig, but wasn't sure what to do about these smaller, softer tires. I know different sidewalls/compounds/treads like...

    Hello, I have a Tekno ET48.3 that I race and I'd like to put some old school looking Monster truck tires on it for fun. The Tekno has 17mm hexes, which doesn't seem compatible with any of the JConcepts Tribute wheels. JConcepts seems to use only the 12mm hexes. I've been googling around...

    Hi, I was looking into buying new tires for my ascender and I had a few questions. How good are the Ascender tires? Are they as good as something like pitbulls or prolines? Would they be as good if they were cut/had softer foams? Which "aftermarket" tire would be the best? The terrain that I...
