    Will these tires work on front of my rusty vxl?

    I have a set of these on the back already but i want to know if they would handle better if i had the 2 in the front also? I run on a clay track all stock gearing with a 2s 6000 mah spc lipo, if that helps, and heres a pic of the track i run at.

    I run some old school dirt hawgs they don't make any more on mine front and back. I feel it has more traction in front and doesn't want to understeer as bad. Just my opinion.

    in general, rear wheel drive won't make it easy for the front tires to touch the ground better. specialy with brushless light weight cars like the rustler.
    as the rear weight too heavy compared to the front the front don't get that much of grip.
    at the end placing these won't hurt at all.. give it a try.

    Yep they should come with foams you might double check the item description. Gluing tires isn't too bad there are a lot of good videos on youtube for it. Patience is a big factor in that one.
    Also its not a huge thing but to get more grip in the front if you haven't done it already run the front a good bit lower then the back as far as ride height. Stiff springs in back or use the shock spacers. Keep the front soft and a bit low. Maybe adjust your caber in front a tiny bit about 2 degrees out or so. Just play around with it a bit if you want. Good luck.
