My DS is virtually useless to race in a field or in any type of soft dirt or slitly wet conditions.My to closest friends own a raptor and the other owns a 400ex. In a race on asphalt the DS beats both of them with out any problem. But when it comes to a wet feild or any type of dirt they will kill me off the line so bad in a shorter feild the 400 could almost beat me. I spin through 1st 2nd and 3rd gear(sitting on the back end as much as I can) And the Raptor and 400 dont seem to spin at all. It takes till midway through my 4th gear untill i pull past the 400 and I can only pull back up close to the Raptor when Im in the middle of my 5th gear. But they beat me so bad off the line that by the time Im back up next to the raptor thier is no more feild left. Will swaping tires put me back up next to the Raptor and the 400 off the line or will my DS always spin this bad? What tires seem to provide the best traction?

 

Change your rear tires from 20 inch to 22 inch and the front 21 inch to 23 inch tires. That alone will make a huge improvement without or VERY little low end loss. I run the Holeshot XCT's and love them. When I changed to the sizes above and the Holeshots my DS hooked up MUCH better.

 

Put the 400 ex tires on it, the difference is night and day.

 

Jbomb is right, the Outshu radial's that come on the 400 ex are excellent, also isn't these same tire's on the 650 baja now?
