Here are a couple of tire & wheel combos for your Traxxas Slash 4×4 to run on concrete and my thoughts on each. For my Traxxas Slash 4×4, I currently run Traxxas Anaconda tires mounted on Rear All-Star 2.8’s. I got them in black chrome, they look pretty sweet. These are what come on the rear of the Traxxas Rustler. You’ll need to buy all rears for your Slash 4×4. This is because the fronts from a Rustler have a different offset. You can buy them pre-mounted from RCPlanet.com for $23.99 for a pair. You’ll need to buy two pair. I was running stock slash tires prior to these and they spun pretty badly on concrete. First test of the Anaconda’s left me grinning from ear to ear. I could finally pop a wheelie! The overall handling was drastically improved as well. I mainly run my Slash in the neighborhood on concrete. It will still make it through the grass, but not that great. If it’s wet out, get ready for drifting and donuts! I definitely recommend sticking to hard dry surfaces for best performance. I made a short video when I first put them on. It’s not the best quality but you can check it out here.

These are sold ready to mount on your Slash. I really like the tread design on them. They look more like what you would find on a real street car. I did really like these as well. Great grip and handling. Similar to the other, it’s best to stick to the dry concrete. They can be found for $29.95 a pair at RCPlanet.com. I’ve used both and can’t really decide on a “best” tire. If you want a more realistic tread design you may go with the Pro-Line’s, but if you like a little lower price and still a great tire go with the Anaconda’s. Either one you choose, you will not be disappointed. To see this article with pictures, visit http://www.partsrc.com.
