Mud Terrain T/A 's

[dudelittle]

I have the original short chassis/ narrow stance slayer for starters. My truck has the original "traxxas" tread tires and they are shot, bald spots,tears,little to no tread left on them. Oh and the rims a just as bad with cracks and what not. What is your experience with the Mud terrain t/a tires like how well do the grip in gravel and grass? I really want Badlands but after buying all that it will be like $80, Im just looking for some help. Thanks

Go with proline. Factory tires aren't that great. I run Proline Gladiator SC tires on stock Slayer rims on my truck. If you want to open up your wheel selection. Get a set of 12mm hex hubs for a 6mm axle and you can run just about any 12mm hex SC wheel you want.

Like so.. 2.8 Proline Trenchers just had to get the 12mm hex

I like the 2.8 look.. no interference with the knuckles?

[Jakeb]

Nope everything fits real nice, a lil body rub but u could just get some taller body post. I didn't even bother its not bad

[Jakeb]

Oh and that rub is only when the truck is completely bottomed out, so no worries there

Can you post the link for the hub conversion and wheels?

[Jakeb]

So with the 12mm hexes u can fit any of those 2.8 tire wheels

Jakeb .. are those premounts? Hows the ballooning?

[Jakeb]

yea they come mounted on desperado rims. they're not to bad, this is the first time running those 2.8 wheels but from what I read and videos Ive watched they're not the worst Ive seen... hope that helps

Do you have to change your gear ratio if our put the 2.8 trenchers on a slayer pro?

Well technically since the weigh more than stock it would probably be a good idea to re gear, but in reality most 2.8's are rather close in overall diameter to the stock 2.2/3.0 size, you should be ok with leaving it as is.

Ok I have this set up and notice its little slow off the start if I wanted to fix this would I just buy a 14 tooth clutch bell since I already have a 15 tooth?
