Got these for my Arrma Big Rock, the tires are pretty heavy, they work well enough for speed runs on asphalt, but were not any better in the dirt than the stock tires were.

I bought these for my arrma senton because it said it is compatable with the senton. the offset is wrong and it scratches the steering handle

I bought 2 packages @ $29.99 each at my local HobbyTown for my Arrma Big Rock 3S.

These belted tires gave more stability at top speed due to being belted and my OEM' were not.

However top speed was lower & constantly had to adjust my slipper clutch (prolly due to extra tire weight) and my rig was just all around slower. The tires seem to slide more however I had more control of the slide. I was just really worried about the extra weight slinging around out there on the end in a good bash session and a good tumble. I have since reverted back to the factory tires and when time to replace them I will replace with the factory tires again.

The tires were wonky meaning grossly out of round & out of balance. I was disappointed and gave a one star review at that time and made up my mind to return the tires.

Couple of days went by and I tried working the tires and internal foam by hand on each without success. I have since changed my review to three stars.

Then I noticed on the wheels what I thought were fake bead locks were actually REAL Bead Locks. I took the foams out of each tire and all four appear to have been sandwiched under a king size mattress for a year. I reduced the crease / fold on the foams but none are completely round which causes the tire to take the same shape. Just less wonky now.

I balanced all four wheel & tire combo's. With the tires being belted my Big Rock is much easier to control at high speeds. The tires are much bigger and heavier than stock. Which takes more power to start and stop. Time will tell but the extra weight on each corner may wear or break parts faster than stock.

FYI: unsprung rotating weight is greatly amplified over sprung weight. Think chassis and body is sprung weight and wheel and tire is unsprung weight. Example: 1 lb of unsprung weight is equal to 100 lbs sprung weight.
