My TR-SC10E Project - Part 10 - Tires

8/29/2018

 
As I learn more and more about the TR-SC10E and about racing in general, I've learned the importance of tire selection.

After speaking with some of the more experienced guys at my track, everyone told me that ProLine Hole Shots were the hot ticket.  I didn't think it would make much of a difference as I thought the stock TR-SC10E tires were pretty decent.  Boy was I wrong!  

I installed some Hole Shots on a set of stock TR-SC10E wheels and by the time I had finished the first turn (a long sweeper) I knew everyone was absolutely correct about the ProLines.  My truck performed like an entirely new vehicle.  It was much more in control, the rear end was more planted and I could cary way more speed through the turns.

If you are a racer, new tires would be my number one recommendation for improving your truck.  Talk to the local guys and see what works well at your track then get yourself some ASAP...you won't regret it.

​Here's a link to the parts I used:
  • ProLine Hole Shot M3 Part # 1180-02
  • Stock TR-SC10E wheels
Here's that stock wheels and tires:
Team Redcat TR-SC10E Wheels & Tires
Stock TR-SC10E Wheels & Tires
And these are the ProLine Hole Shots mounted to the stock wheels:

Not only do the ProLine's make a dramatic improvement to the truck, I think they look great on the stock wheels too.

By the way, if you found this helpful, please do me a HUGE favor and support me by purchasing your TR-SC10E parts and hop-ups from me and also by using my Amazon links if you make any purchases at Amazon (they'll pay me a small commission)

Hello, thinking about one of these trucks to go racing this summer on our outdoor track. (indoor carpet now)
I like the detail and upgrades you are providing (thanks).
have you tried any other wheels? I'm running a Slash and would like to use my selection of wheels/tires I have now.

Hi John. Anything that fits the Slash 4x4 will work on the SC10e

Hey Rob,

Can you install new tires on old rims or is it better to buy new rims for the new tires? I understand that the tires are glued on to the rims, any pointers on how to remove the old tires and installing the new ones?

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben. Yes to both. You can re-use your wheels but it's a lot easier to use new wheels. Here's how to remove old tires: https://youtu.be/ZldarEvBKRI YouTube is filled with videos on how to glue new tires to wheels
