dt360vw Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Ye most fit with 12mm wheel hexes, some need small washers for a good tight fit others don't, use 1/10 touring wheels 1/10 buggy wheels will be too big, I was thinking of trying 1/18 truck wheels on mine maybe from a maverick ion or similarSent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mk1magic Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Yeah they do as long as their 12mm hex Edit: goddam iphone sorry this was already answered lol Btw what charisma springs did you buy?

silone74 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 I have found 3mm + offset fit the best, the most recent set I have are 6mm offset and they are perfect they also make the car a little wider which helps. You can pick up 1/10 touring/drift wheels cheap on ebay I get mine from hong kong and no issues with them. Some will need a spacer as mentioned but I use a m3 washer, I normally have to use these on the shumacher wheels or if the hex is deep on the wheel and makes the wheel sit further on to the hex its self. I have also got the alloy hex's that use an allen grub screw to tighten then to the shaft I found I can position them slightly further out from the pin and gain a little extra that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silone74 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) Fastrax do a wheel and tyre combo rally block that are 12mm hex, I have not used them personally but they look ok.

dt360vw Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 I thought I saw a set in your pic that's why I asked. What brand tyres are fitted to your m8 in the pic? Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Kyosho branded tyres on the mini 8 in the pic there fitted to 1/10 dished touring wheels the other set on the silver wheels are also kyosho tyres. I have seen a none branded version on ebay with a similar pattern, I am waiting on delivery of some rally style tyres at the moment but there not the block style from hong kong, I look through ebay at 1/10 wheels and find either sets or tyres that I can use on the wheels I have already, only once have I had a problem and that was a set that the foams had not been included with them.

silone74 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 (edited) Oops I had a crash lol this would be my reason to get alloy shocks on the back now , the motor is very good, it just gives from start to top end , it is on 19t pinion that I would say is max size you could fit without mods. Stock motor in my sons is on the 18t pinion, the new motor seemed to give performance through the full range a little control needed on take of or it would spin up, thats with 1/10 touring wheels and soft compound tyres so they won't be lasting too long. I would say this motor tops the stock one. Edited February 8, 2014 by silone74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silone74 Posted February 12, 2014 Author Share Posted February 12, 2014 Rear shocks arrived, time to build them up, next strip paint off the wing and decide if I want it yellow again or change it. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlphaZero Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Hi I recently picked up a RTR version of this buggy, I'm very happy with it so far however I have been thinking of upgrading to the Alloy chassis is this the right part I'm just confused about it being called short chassis http://www.racing-cars.com/pp/Manufacturer/LC_Racing/LCL6026.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silone74 Posted February 16, 2014 Author Share Posted February 16, 2014 (edited) Just thought I would show the emb with body off, couldn't be bothered to shorten wires at the mo lol To fit the esc I raised the body mounts by cutting the tab off of the bottom of the mount and used some m3 composite washers and a longer screw,I did this awhile ago but as I was in the shed I thought I would take some pics while I was there. just to show how high the body sits now front and back Si Edited February 16, 2014 by silone74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
