took mine to the track yesterday,, and noticed these lil pins dont hook up aswell as i thought,,, i had a hard time controlling it on the straight,,, i wanted to gun the thing but i always lost traction and spun out,,, can someone post make and model of good tires for dirt use,,

i might just get some for the street also for when im not at the dirt

i think i saw some of those today,, was going to pick them up,, but for 20bux for the 2 pair,, kind of steep,,, atleast for now,,,

i just had to replace my stock esc in my MSF,,,

how do ou like to tires for racing,,, do they grip well on take off,, i kow the pins like to spin and spin and spin,,, would hate to upgrade motor,,and that is all i will get is spinning,, looks cool in magazines,, but not for real performance

I got the 18t to relieve stress, but so far the tires seem to grip well on pavement and through grass, it should do very well on a dirt track.

I would think those Trinity's would be good both on and off road. I know Grafix used it on his MT18 and it looked good on the street in the video.

I heard that Pro-Line Dirt Hawgs are pretty good to!

OMG Alfred those are so bling! Too darned bling for an RC18T!

Back to the subject on hand, remember that any Team Losi Mini-T rear wheel will work on the RC18T

yes im sorry, that i havent mentioned that. jaejw1, you need two sets of rear tires so they will fit on the front and back. Cant wait to get a new set this weekend.

I might be stupid but i bought two pairs of trinity monster tires for my rc18. I bought two front sets.Is it because they're both front tires and rims and help would be appreciated.:p

For the RC18t you need to get two rear sets for it to bolt on right for the 18t. You have to remember that the Mini-t is rear wheel drive and the 18t is four wheel drive.
