Does anyone make paddle tires for the Traxxas Bandit?

If not, what are the best tires to use in the snow.

Hm...If stadium truck tires fit, then I think proline might, but not sure....

i kno they make paddle tires for MT's but i dont kno...they gotta make em, that would be pretty cool...

Proline makes 2.2 truck tires. If you can put a 2.2 truck tire on there you would be set with paddles.

Ok. Some people said that you would be able to put 2.2 truck tires on there as long as you glue them.

they will be a tad too big, the rim is a 2.0, it'll work if you glue them good

Ok. I will see what my LHS have. I don't want to place a tower order.

lol felt like posting this---here's my snow truck...

Put the Pro-Line Sand Paws on an Electric front or Nitro rear Rustler/Stampede rim, that should make it a bolt on operation, I may try RPM Nitro Rusty/Pede arms on the back of mine with the standard offset Electric Rusty/Pede wheel I already have though.

If I put them on a rustler's rim, don't I need to buy the wheel hubs also? http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti...LXJH98&P=X

Depends on the rim, I put mine on RPM Rims which came with wheel hexes.

Thanks

revo2k did u make those ski's or did u by them. what are they made out of.

He made them.

Haven't taken any pics yet, but I converted mine last night with parts I had laying around, looks pretty wild and has a ton of ground clearance too!

Converted what?

I don't have money for paddles but I have some old slicks that I might buy tacks and stick them through and either glue or tape them.

Just got some thumb tacs and put them in my slicks. Only problem I see is no traction coming from the tire itself and that the tire is so low profile.

I will get some pictures when I mount them. Waiting for the water to boil to take off my old tires.

For 2.2 paddles you have 2 choices sand paw tires or Panther paddles


I have the proline sand paddles they work good. I just wish they where taller they like to dig real easy.


I also have a set of buggy paddle tires in a 1.9 size made by duratrax.

The tacs worked great. Couldn't even do powerslides if I tried. The only problem is that the tacs weren't staying in. They would try and go back in the tire. I used CA tire glue on them and that didn't seem to work too well. Anyone have any ideas.

N-Rusty/Pede RPM Arms, Paddles and Ribs on RPM rims, E-Rusty/Pede front axles and partial rear D/S's, softer rear springs (had trinity Monstermaxx XXHD 8.6lb springs on the back :eek: ) and jacked it up some

Oh.
