I believe that's the general idea, you either sand off the pins or studs, or snip them off with some cutters..... http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/smile.gif

the stock tires on my xxx have turned into slicks. Just go mess around with your car alot on some gravle or pavment and the will turn into slicks.

Ok on my XXcr KE I ran my tires on the asphalt and yeah they turn into slicks but if u have a certain compound or hardness in the tire u like you will lose it by running it on the asphalt. I have a couple pairs of slicks that I got from runnin on the asphalt but now they are really soft. Now they arent hard any more. I would suggest a dremmel or belt sander.
