Default rc10b4 tires

Hi,
my stock tires for my rc10b4 are worn down already(1 week),i took my car to the track today and it slid around all over the place.
what kind of tires would be best for a buggy driving on loose dirt tracks?
also what tires do i have to buy, do i have to get a tire specially designed for the rc10? or are most buggy tires a standard size?

Thanks

Did you have the bow-tie tires on there to begin with?  I had good luck with Pro-lines Dirt Hawgz on my b4, but i ran mostly in the street.....but the name "dirt hawgz" i would assume they do well in the dirt.  </p>

not to often unless the track is heavily watered throughout the day.

we could help more if we new how the track was setup and the condition of the clay/dirt

personaly i like jconcepts goose-bumps in back with groovys up front or a losi step pin in back on my traxxas blue eagle. and there is the always awsome proline bowties

also, the whole spinning around may also be your setup, your slipper, your ball diff, your suspension, your camber and toe, etc

the track is a clay/dirt mix i guess, i goes from being hard and bumpy in one area to soft dust in another.<div>im sure its not just my tires but i think im going to start there.</div><div>i spin out on corners alot, and if i get to much speed up on a straight.</div><div>on the set up though, how should my buggy be set for track. whats a good start?</div><div>Thanks</div>
