Can I use my off-road RC nitro buggy on-road without damaging it?
Hi everyone I recently brought a Himoto Mini Rattler 1:16
off-road nitro powered rc buggy I wondered if it is possible to use it on- road or would this wear down my nobbly tyres too quickly if so which tyres should I use. Thanks.
It is definitely possible to run a nitro buggy on road, I would check your LHS for some on road buggy tires, I have seen them at my store for the 1:8 buggies, though we don't sell a whole lot of the 1:16 Nitro buggies. You may have to check on-line for on road tires. The Sportwerks Chaos is an 1:16 Nitro Buggy there is a good chance that your hubs will match that vehicle and I am almost positive they make on road tires and wheels for that vehicle. As suggested, you may want to adjust your suspension depending on your driving style. Hope that gives you the information you were looking for.

If your going to use a RC nitro off road buggy, on road i suggest that you get some on road tyres, and maybe play around with the sus,

the tires might wear faster but its actually healthier onroad because there is less bumps that could kill your suspension i find onroad better

Yes you can, but I'd put on road tires also I'd use it on an empty car park as using any sort of r.c model on the streets is not any dangerous but also illegal.
