Monster slash tire options

[rex6638]

I am currently running 2.8 Badlands and Badlands MX28 with 17mm hex wheels on my 1/8 scale powered Slash. I have been thinking about upping the wheel and tire size. Has anyone tried 3.8 Badlands or 1/8 truggy tires? How did they perform? Did they look too big and goofy? Any feedback is appreciated.

I did 2.8 trenchers stretched over 3.8 ofna mt3 wheels. I love the low profile wide look

Wow, they look huge, borderline on being too big. Thanks for the pics.

Rally body posts. Or telluride body posts. I don’t like the proline extended ones

Truggy wheels! Out of the eight different trucks that I have both 2wd and 4 x 4, I drive this truck the most. It's the funnest truck that I have. What 1/8 motor/esc are you running in your slash?

I got the idea for my truck from Dr. Isotope on a different forum. Here is his truck with Duratrax X-Cons. He's got videos on YouTube of this truck running. Look up Dr Isotope X Project

Project X was awesome! I posted both of his vids on my thread as well:

Here's 2:

I'm running a Castle 2650kv motor with a Hobbywing WP-SC8 esc on 3s.

16/54 gearing, in the heat of the summer I only managed to get the motor to 130 degrees and the esc to about 115

Nice! I need a lower kv motor for these big ole tires. Running a 3300kv on 2s 86/19 and the motor is at 160. It's a nice balance of speed and torque. Wheelies easily. I might try a 18 and 17 tooth pinion to get the temps down a bit.

You sure you got 2.8 tires on 3.8 rims? I have seen 2.8 stretched to get on 3.2 rims but never all the way up to 3.8 rims. That is a rim bigger than the entire 2.8 tire.

[SL4SHGT8BASHER]

Yeah sorry... 3.2 is what I meant... those are ofna mt3 rims. I love how the offset is almost flush with the inside part of the rim

I wish I could find more rims with that type of offset.

With that big old Summit body on it they look like they almost fit. But honestly 3.8 wheels are too much weight for the avg Slash 4x4 so I don't run it hard like this.

My truggy wheels in the pictures above (#12 above) are only a hair more than 5" in diameter. They're a little bigger and a little wider than your average 2.8 Tire
