Here is the problem, Yes you would traditionally want a softer compound tire, BUT With this much power to the tires at this scale (In my experience) you will shread tires. I suggest (Not the hardest) a harder compund tire with some good tread for traction. The tires (when driving) will soften a little from the heat generated. If you have a drag run, first heat the tires up with a couple quick runs, or hold the car still and run the tires (Like burnin rubber) first. Also a thicker drag tire will hold up better aswell.
