Tug Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Yeah, but I'm sure they're too big, being a buggy, it needs slimmer boots, hence the need for Truggy footwear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbarnes80 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 They are in desperado 3.8s will the tyre be bigger than the badlands? Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbarnes80 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Just wondering if you guys bother to reboot the wheels or just get new rims with tyres each time? Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Way bigger than Badlands. I just went with new rims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbarnes80 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Interesting to see the difference. I'll post a photo when they come. Only really got these as there were 4 for £14 each on rims. Do you still run stock wheels at the front? Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Yup, stock fronts, turns in without drama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbarnes80 Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Same, did try putting same as rear but turning circle ended up huge as there was no oversteer. Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 The stocker is in the middle, the one on the left is a standard 30 series Chevron from Traxxas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdbarnes80 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I think it'll be good on sand or in slop, but we'll see. Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbarnes80 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Quick test on the mashers in my road. OOOOhh wheelies at half throttle at any speed! I think these will keep me occupied for a bit.

jdbarnes80 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Had a good blast. Did a massive cartwheel and took out the right wishbone. I've now got 2 x spare lefts but no rights, anyone fancy a trade 1 for 1? Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Sorry, but I've only got one set of each. What was the handling like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbarnes80 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 They're not for speed runs as they balloon up, but traction was very good on grass and tarmac. Great for jumping as the ground clearance is much higher, and they make it easier to control mid air due to the extra diameter x the torque. Took it in the skatepark, only downside was too much traction to flick it 180 degrees easily with a blip of the throttle. Trying to patch the wishbone to get a quick blast on the sand tomorrow. Badlands are more predictable but these are fun for a bit. These are a bit scary and chuck stones very fast.

jdbarnes80 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Tend to just google it to see who has stock. EBay, PBM , Modelsport uk mainly. Diff came from Dollarz hobbies. Any recommendations?

Tug Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 I've used JESpares, not sure they still exist though. Just look for the best price, unless you're in a hurry. RPM parts would be nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdbarnes80 Posted March 26, 2016 Share Posted March 26, 2016 They are fitted to proline desperado rims which are the same rim the badlands are fitted to. Tiny bit larger than stock. Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted March 26, 2016 Author Share Posted March 26, 2016 I've got some Grinders that're on zero off-set rims, I might de-bond them and fit them to the stock rims. Grinders are seriously spikey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
