Of course you can

Check out some of the Proline tyres, they're always good. You may need to change the gearing if you put bigger tyres on though, ie. gear down a bit

cheers mate, im a bit confused with the whole tyre & wheel size subject lol. measuring the stock tyres on my trophy they are about 1 1/4", what would be the next step up from them?

by the way heres my e-trophy with the shell ive just finished

Are you measuring the width or the diameter of the wheels? The sizes given for wheels in stores refers to the diameter. umm... thats about as helpful as I tend to get I'm afraid =/

[HUNTER.P]

Are you sure you guys are measuring the right ones? ie one of you has a buggy and the other a truggy

[henzy190]

I think he wanted to know the size of truggy ones though?

[Arthyyyyyyy]

Woooooooo

What will happen to the truggy though?

It still be alive, usefull for spares as it uses the same diffs and diff casing. The d8t just seems so strong and not fragile like the trophy, but don't delete me off te members list, I'll revive it sometime

Gutted the rain died off, so decided to go up the woods with all that mud

So i fitted only one wheels worth of the 17mm hex convirsion and set off

Just filled up my 3rd tank and one of the other lads come down one of the mud banks with a dead car, his ftx was dead for the nite that left me with the truggy and my mate with his insane 3.5 bullet

Started my car and went to drive off and it decided it wanted to run away, only just enough revs to get the car moving

And then it shot off full throttle hit a tree (i think)

And stopped engine still ticking over nicly, however my left c hub and turnbuckle are now both buggerd!

Gutted, think it was the wet getting to my reciver!

Sounds like waterproofing is necessary

So long as there is no expensive chassis damage or similar then you should be fine

[thesnake505]

Yea im just gutted that was cut short again! I think the water may have come from accidently submerging the car in a puddle hidden by long grass! However, car carried on running after wards that was on the first tank!

Truggy properly dominates the woods, thou steering gain need tunring down for the steep hills!

[dtokez]

thanks for the positive comments about the shell

ahh what a plank i am, I should have mentioned I'm talking about the width of the tyres, ie. I want more grip

[harjun]

Very useful thanks guys

[autobutcher]

Nah, it doesn't matter. We're all kind here on MSUK so it doesn't matter about who you are or the questionabiltiy of your sexuality.

[Jonny]

That's a relief.

I'll post pictures when its done, hopefully soon if the weather's kind.

[superredeye]
