How To Find the Proper RC Monster Truck Tire?...

In any driving sport tires are always something to be considered and racing a RC monster truck is no different. RC monster truck tires can either enhance your performance on a track or hinder it by providing bad traction. There are a number of factors a RC race hobbyist should consider when purchasing tires.

The first factor that should be considered to determine the proper RC monster truck tire is the surface type on the race track. Surfaces can be made of different material which may result in more tire wear or require a better tread for traction. Some common surfaces you may see are sand, dirt, concrete, asphalt and blue groove (which made with rubber). Some tracks may have a combination of surface types to create a little more difficulty or because of the availability of space. Slick surfaces require a stickier or softer tire, whereas an abrasive surface will require a more durable tire.

Tread styles are another factor to consider when selecting the proper RC monster truck tires. There are tread styles that are made to dig into the ground for ultimate traction in dirt or deep treads to allow for a longer use when running on an abrasive surface. Treads for RC monster truck tires come in many patterns and many can be purchased and modified for scale replicas or for better racing.

The materials used to make RC monster truck tires can be made of foam, rubber, plastic or a hybrid rubber/plastic combination. Additionally, there are many inserts that can be placed between the tire and the wheels to promote better traction or longevity of the RC monster truck tire. The cost of RC monster truck tires starts around $10 per pair. High quality racing tires start at around $25 per pair. It is also helpful to just purchase two pairs of RC monster truck tires to try them out before investing in multiple sets.

The RC monster truck tire is a valuable part to any RC monster truck, because it ensures the truck can keep moving.
