Kpowell911 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Strange one! Ive never had a Truggy. Ive kinda messed up my stock tyres, so I want to buy some brand new pre mounted ones. Are Truggy Wheels/Tyres the same as a Maxx/Revo? Wheelspin have these listed under Truggy: https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/196443/ Are they the correct size or too big? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks The one's you linked are more MT sized, These are more typical truggy sized: https://wheelspinmodels.co.uk/i/176282/ That said I run 3.8 badlands on my X1 CRT though there hard on the drivetrain. Whether your SSTe would cope I don't know. I did have HPI Goliath's (??) on mine, though it just wanted to wheely so they came off after minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I run race type tyres on mine. I find anything else a bit heavy. Mainly grass runner. The kind of things Doddy linked from ebay. If you can get the Absima they'd be alright too. Just need to be sure your Truggy doesn't need offset ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capri-boy Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Rich beat me. Hobbyking stock the Louise-RC T-Pirates Guns - i've used some and find them a very good alternative to Proline's - there not too aggressive on grass either (like Badlands can be) - similar in grip to the Hobao spikes that the ST's come with. I know of some offset ones, new, going a little cheaper than retail too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capri-boy Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Assuming you don't want spokes then iirc DE racing do black rims. Or did. Amain might have them though prob not on $1.99 shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spanky5000 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Hope you don't mind me jumping onto your thread. I've recently built an hyper st pro and wanted some tarmac style tyres and came across the proline road rage tyres. Would these be the correct fitting? https://www.modelsport.co.uk/pro-line-road-rage-3.8-tyres-mounted-on-desperado-black-1-2-offset-17mm-wheels-2-/rc-car-products/368111 Also are there any other decent alternative tarmac style tyres? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Sweep racing do a truggy on road tyre which is belted and meant to be quite good. http://www.sweepracingusa.com/Monster-Truck-Road-Crusher-Belted-tire-preglued-on-Black-wheel-2pc-set_p_568.html These http://www.conrad-electronic.co.uk/ce/en/product/238075/Reely-18-Truggy-Wheels-Snake-5-spoke-Black-2-pcs also work.

Thanks in advance I wanted to try Road Rage but couldn't justify the price tag. Don't touch HPI Phaltlines, they're hard, wheelspin everywhere and wear out like mad!!! I've seen Absima have some so they may be worth a punt: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Absima-Wheel-Set-LP-Truggy-Street-1-8-4pcs-NiP-/282067875300?hash=item41ac8e35e4:g:s04AAOSwbYZXX9A8 The Road Rage are wider so the 1/2 offset is needed. The Absima are standard width and have 0 offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mond Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Reading another forum thread about speed runs with a truggy, those Road Rages don't look good. They pizza cutter pretty easily by all accounts. I've got the buggy versions of the Abisma tyre and it offers very little grip compared with a standard racing tyre like city blocks or or holeshots or something like that.

Hold out for the sweeps then. CML reckon May 5th: http://www.cmldistribution.co.uk/brands/sweep Prob be August at least then The Absima can't be as bad as the HPI!! Lasted me 25mins just wore out due to no grip. I stick to grass at the mo with racing tyres. I use Shockwaves on gravel. Must admit if I went with RR I'd just get the tyres and gaffer tape them, have the rims already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'you think you're just better off with city blocks or something and just be careful not to spin them up? Mind you I've had my proline Shockwaves on tarmac for a couple of mins and seemed to stick, bit weighty tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to avoid running on tarmac, but when I do I just use an old set of crimefighters, part worn. They spun up as expected if I mashed the throttle but turning the punch down and being careful they we're manageable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
