Devin Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 has any one else had an issue with the rear hubs getting worn through its odd as i have only ran it on stock wheels/tyres and nanda blocks Hi bud sorry for the really late reply but I have had issues with them wearing out but that's only because I used the wrong offset wheel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wear_side_liam Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 ah its alight having a lot of fun with the buggy its great it loves ripping tyres off the wheels lol POWER !!! or that could be down to some of my bad landings no breakdowns to report its running well and taking a beating ... excluding the wing mount snapping when i was pushing my luck on 6s difference between 4 and 6s is shocking first time building up to and hinting full throttle i stopped it almost out of shock xD i had it on grass with the 16t pinion and temps didn't get much over 45-50c i have some new bearings on order because most of the back ones have ceased up for some reason and some t-bone bumpers as well looking for some kind of mud guard for the back but not having much luck would appreciate a recommendation on some read tyres/wheel combination that definitely fit as well hope all you other arrma owners are doing well essay over .... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
