Stock chevrons

[ckysmith2011]

If i flipped my rear chevrons tires on my t maxx so the trades face back wards would it give me more traction?

Move them around and try it. Some guys I know swear it works better, but I have never tried it myself.

Yes you will get more traction and heres why....when they are pointing forwards the treads because of the way they're designed just push the dirt off to the sides. When you flip them around the treads pull the dirt in and grab all of it which gives you better traction.
So yes flipping them will give you better traction. In the front it will work, too.

It depends on the surface you’re running on.

Semi loose or hard packed IMO you loose traction. Only in very loose like freshly tilled dirt or mud do I see any gain in traction with them mounted backwards.

Then again it might just pack up the dirt under them and give me less traction.

It works on some surfaces but I don't like the way it drives with them. You would be better off just running them the right way. Or just getting a set of stampede or revo tires. I love the stampede tires on my E Maxx and I have the new Geo T Maxx tires on my old SportMaxx 4910 in the back and Pede tires in the front and it climbs whatever I point it at.

Nice, I need 4 new tires on it but im just gunna wait till those just completely shred before i buy new ones lol.

Lol that's what you think. I already tore one of them lol

I've had stock chevrons for 5 years and I've gone through 2 sets of rims using them. Still in great condition.

ckysmith you're probably one of the few to tear a chevron. Unless you're using the 3.8" instead of the 3.2". For some reason the 3.8" have a higher tendency to tear than the 3.2" (Originals)

As for running the tires backwards. From personal experience it works well in sand and snow. Other than that i keep them facing forwards.
