tomr Posted February 16, 2022 Author Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) @Jack ReacherYou’ll probably get away with some 75mm tyres mate,possibly need to raise the body a touch or dremel the arches, they’re about the same compound without the foams in .The foam is a touch firm so I’ll either cut them or run without, should be fine seeing it’s only a mini crawler. You’d need a set of 1.55 wheels as well , still waiting for mine to arrive 🤯 Edited February 16, 2022 by tomr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomr Posted February 18, 2022 Author Share Posted February 18, 2022 Still waiting on the wheels to arrive 😭 75mm tyres fit the arches pretty nice on the stock body 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re slightly to small for the Mad Max body so binned that for now and stuck the stock body on with magnets. It might get a run tomorrow 👍🏻 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tomr Posted March 3, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted March 3, 2022 (edited) Put the hard body back on, It needed some slight trimming and a couple of extra magnets to raise the height a little but fits great with the new wheels/tyres 👍🏻 Edited March 3, 2022 by tomr 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stretch242 Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Hello new to RC and the forum. Bought one of these last week after buying an Ftx Tracer. Seems addictive 😬 Has anyone managed to add extra lights using the spare ways? One is for break lights the other for general lighting. I've looked around on Ebay etc but cant seem to find anything with the right connector. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp0oner73 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Great thread as considering one of these or a TRX4m but prefer 1/16 over 1/18 and one of these is half the price of the 4m. What battery run time can you get from a 2s lipo? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What battery run time can you get from a 2s lipo? I would say about 40 mins running 2200 2s lipo but i tend to run it faster than average crawler so might be able to grab 50 mins on a good day 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sp0oner73 Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Cheers for the reply and confirming that's not too bad but was hoping to try and get a battery that will last an hour minimum - we are used to 3 hours out of our 1:10 trucks so spoilt for run time. Is a 2200 the largest capacity you can realisically fit in the truck? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
