I have been trying to decide which tyres to get for my xxxt and currently im stuck between the masher 2000's and hpi's Yokohama Geolandar M/T.

What i am looking for is something that can hook up my massively overpowered brushless with lots of traction.

I am also considering getting some Ceramic Nitride diff balls to strengthen the diff somewhat.

All of the 'real' tires will probably be on a relatively equal footing, but you might want to stick with something the same size as regular truck tires: Masher 2Ks will be bigger and heavier, and put more stress on the suspension and drivetrain, which would be compounded by the power of a brushless system.

i get your point the hpi's Yokohama Geolandar M/T tyres seem to be closer in size to standard size truck tyres.

does anyone here know which wheels fit the losi xxxt as trying to find losi wheels in the uk is a little difficult to say the least.

Try proline gladiators, they tend to hook up alright with full tread on my brushless setup.
