Which tires are good to use in the Snow and not too much money for a Revo 2.5? Any links would be helpful, thanks.

Harvick

For soft snow, paddles would probably be pretty good. I have some Pro-line badlands I am going to try out this year, I think they will be excellent.

Yea paddlers. But ive heard the Tmaxx tires put on backwards act the same.

buckmaster119

well go with anything agressive all agressive tires work very well look at the proline website!!!![link=http://www.prolineracing.com]proline website[/link]

Harvick

Your links do not go to any specific tire, all just go the home page of pro-line.

paddel tires dig holes in the snow and don't go anywhere, i used them last year and gave them to my friend.

joebags

Did you find something else that works?

buckmaster119

yeah i know harvick i tried it and i was like what the heck and then i went back and edited it!!!!!!

Harvick

I am going to try these out this year.

Seek and Destroy

I have an idea I am going to use to make snow tires. I am going to shave off some of the lugs on the stock t-maxx tire, then put cahins on it.

Harvick

I did see alink somewhere for "how to make snow chains" Just can't remember where now.

Dude, any wide tires will work.

89ram

yes, even slicks if you get some chains!

SlowDriver

No Harvick, you're doing it all wrong! It should look more like this ...

smaxx3.3

if you get slicks the chains will have nothing to hold on to so the tires would spin inside them. but for winter this year i am getting these http://denisesrcoutlet.com/m_20.asp?...+Tires+%282%29 or i am getting cheap tires and putting screws thru them.

89ram

well, i was more or less joking, but i would make a bet that chains will not spin mounted on slicks. i have a set of slicks, no chains though[which i could easily make] but we hardly ever get enough snow around here to make it worth messing with.

smaxx3.3

i tried to make those chains and it is hard you need about 5 hands and alot of time.

89ram

they don't LOOK like they'd be all that hard to make. but you might be right, i have'nt tried it. bring on the big snow! give me a reason!

oregonrevoman

slow driver i was thinking the same thing, that bench was way to organized,lol heck this weekend i finally relocated the hangers in the ceiling that hold my bikes so they don't rack my head.

aznherb36

I made chains once for the stock tires. they worked but will grind down and a few of them start to detach. It took a lil while. YOu need to push down on the tires to get the chains tight on there.

buckmaster119

ive seen chains on a rc car they worked very well and like i said all you need is some agrresive tires!!

89ram

aznherb36, what were you driving on to wear down the chains? maybe they'd throw sparks at night on cement or asphalt? that would be cool. in another thread about a half-track conversion, i suggested using long tire chains as tracks. probably would space the cross-chains closer together and change gears to a lower ratio. sure it's not neccessary, but the 1/2track idea might look awesome. what do you think?

buckmaster119

that would be awsome!!!!!

omg....

ok for one, putting a directinal tire on backwords is just going to do about as much as a snow plow. They are desigened tobe run one way and if ran the other it will make more rolling resistence and it will load up with snow and not clean them selvs. For snow you want a large offset rim wiht eather paddels or agressive tires. Badlands are going to suckin the snow, but they would be good on ice. trust me i know what i am talking about, i have ben ashing in snow allmost 3 years now with my revo. I play in the snow allot, infact i am HUGE in the snow.
