m4inbrain Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 By looks i meant they look cheap/nasty, the goal is to increase grip a bit - i doubt that they would do what i want/need them to do. I'll keep looking, belted tyres are, as you mentioned, pretty pointless on the 3s buggies, but i do want some reasonable quality on the shoes. If only they made 110mm hoons. Well there we go, badlands mx it is. Gonna check for myself what all that raving is about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Why not get some GRPs for on road? https://www.tracksidespares.co.uk/product-category/wheelstyres/1-8th-rallyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, so far probably the most reasonable option. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Actually good call on the GRPs, not sure how long they will last on road but they could prove useful for speed running at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 Well I just ran the little Typhon on the new electrics and pinion, I'm having major signal issues though, so couldn't do a proper run, but hit 40mph on 2s, which is quite good, basically a 25% improvement, but I think it has a smidge more to go really, on a proper run. 3s is going to be interesting 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh How Original Posted March 9, 2021 Author Share Posted March 9, 2021 I might have found the signal issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted March 11, 2021 Share Posted March 11, 2021 My wife likes it colourful. Somewhat matching shock covers inbound too, but coming from the US will take a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy20xe Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 I like that! I wanna do something like that to mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m4inbrain Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Yeah but do you also have somewhat matching shock covers? 😉 😛 She actually is slightly unhappy with it, the one for the Kraton EXB that looks the same has a different phrase printed onto it, she actually wanted that. 😄 Edited March 12, 2021 by m4inbrain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious as to how those perform, apparently those Lockups are worth the monies. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

froggy8 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 problem with this hobby is when you thought you have found the right rig then you start looking at another one * sigh * 😄 what i want for an rc is lightness, small and easy to work on and so far its this rig, i know its 8th scale but its light, im guessing its light as the electronics are for 10th scale. but yeah wouldnt mind this one now 🙂 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m4inbrain Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Oh yeah it's very light, it's quite a bit lighter than my 1/10 DB Pro even. I'd argue it's one of the best "starter rigs" out there, didn't think i'd like it as much as i do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 that does sound what i want 🙂 how come no one have put vids of theirs up yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh How Original Posted March 17, 2021 Author Share Posted March 17, 2021 I will have videos up soon, I just have an order in which they go up. Might put one up tonight actually. They say it's 8th scale, but it's not really... Not like an 8ight or something, given it's based on a 10th scale SCT. Buy one Froggy, you'll like it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersavage Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Have to say that if I sell my Felony the 3s Typhon is looking very tempting 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
froggy8 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 i had the vorza and a hyper 10tt(truggy) and you can notice the size on the 2 of them instantly, you saying the arrma 3s is smaller to the vorza? wouldnt mind if this rig is light, easy to work on and smaller. would be easier to carry like you do in a bag.
