Dirt Claws or Losi Zombie Maxx

[X 4.6]

My first thread. happy to be here.
I can't decide which one to choose they both seem like great tires.
Is one taller and wider then the other?

i think that you should get the zombie and if you don't have a rim yet you should look into the maximizer 1/2 offset bead locks

I have a set of Zombie-Maxx tires and Love them. They get great traction and all surfaces. Just an all around great tire. A molded foam is a great idea and even a round of Duct tape works great. They do tend to balloon easily. I don't see this problem with the round of DT.

Welcome to the forum X. I would recomend the Zombies on the 1/2 Maxi's to.
Here is a link to help you to keep them from balloning

Welcome X4.6​

The zombies are a great tire for bashing (if thats how you run your savage) and hook up pretty well on all surfaces that ive run them on.

They are a fairly soft tire tho, so the street will eat them up & like Larz pointed out, you'll want some good foams & maybe a bit of duct tape so they don't balloon on ya.

i haven't run the dirt clawz & cant think of anyone i know who has but maybe someone will see your post & chime in.

Thanks guys. I already read most of the stuff on this site about the zombies like your link scott but didn't see much of use about the dirtclaws. I'm what i've dubed a "rasher" I like all the racing mods that make you handle better and stuff. But all i normally do is bash. So i like good all-round performance on the chance i go on pavement or take a visit to the track.

We've ran the Dirt Claws on our E-Savages and they actually provide too much traction. A stock E with Dirt Claws mounted on will wheelie to no end. Asphalt, wet or dry, loose loamy dirt, rocks, pebble size to ankle twister size. These tires work great with good throttle control. I'd say they would be the perfect snow tire! The sidewall is kinda tall and rolls over a bit in the turns but most MT tires do that unless they are low pro or 40 series. Both tires should suit your need as they are very similar in tread pattern. The hpi tires are soft, but not as soft as say they kit tires that come on the Savage line.

Good Luck and have fun "RASHING"!!!

I screwed up my plastic spur awhile back so got the hpi racing spur with the purple middle with the hpi vented clucth bell, hpi wheelie bar, and the big bore shocks which i got last week. I took you guys advice and put 30 in the front and 42.5 1.6ts in the rear. I like it but need the hard hellfire springs to speed up the rebound and maybe to get the full ride height.
