since the stock tires for the vendetta ST are just OK.. i decided to remove them from the wheels and i cut up a set of front 4wd buggy tires..
front has the inside jobs since the sidewalls are taller to allow more push and higher speeds
the rears have holeshots for maximum grip.. here are the pics..

Your st is really beat...up. well, shows you like drivin it. i'm just bearly getting my first scratches and dents. better to drive it and get it beat up then to let it sit and stay shiney, til i collets dust. plus most of the sts parts are cheap,so you can bash it to near death. :D

just mount the 10th scale 4wd buggy front tire of choice up to Kyosho Lazer front rims... bolts right up... or you can go a bit wider by using Lazer rear rims and 10th scale buggy rear tires...

you can use these (Lazer rims/tires) with Hex adaptors on the RC18 series and the Losi MLST as well....

that big a tire will create all sorts of problems... it wont work. i have tried going to mini lst tires and didnt like the way it handled.. it was all over the place..

the tires are front 4wd tires ,, just cut down to fit the stock ST wheels..

what type of surface.. what kind of motor,, what pinion/spur.......... not telling you are wrong.. but i didnt like the way it handled and neither did another person that tried it.. http://www.one18th.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49248

i have done a lot of testing with different tires... and im still testing.. i have cut my own and used those from other vehicles.. and the larger they get the worse it handles at high speeds.
