Getting the mod itch
 
and it needs scratched.. I was thinking about rims and tires.. I have seen some cool *** multi spoke rims but cant seem to locate them. Also been thinking about some suspension upgrades but on the fence about some stuff.

I do a lil track racing for fun here in Iraq and just general bashing around.

Well any ideas on what I can spend some cash on? is there any must haves?

Im currently running a Novak w/lipos everything else stock...

thanks!

17mm or 23mm hex adapters will allow for a large variety of wheels to be used. i believe hpi or axial make a multi spoke wheel. 40 series wheels and tired are great for bashing and give a better top speed.

2 x Team Losi Zombie-Max Monster Truck Tires w/Foam (2) - $24.49

2 x Axial 8 Spoke Oversize Monster Truck Wheel (Black) (2) - $12.25

1 x Traxxas 17mm Wheel Hubs & Nuts (Blue) (4) - $21.49

Thinking about this purchase...will those tires fit that rim I cant confirm it where ever I look I cant find any specs? and the 17MM set up is whats needed to make them fit? thanks!

Personally get a set of badlands on 1/2 offset 17mm wheels for bashing and a set of crimefighter LPR on 1/2 offset 17mm wheels for racing

awe yes I remember those...good choice..Now I understand I can dye them (cause I dont care for the white) but since I in iraq I dont have access to a stove and what not soo any ideas on a alternative method to color them perminantly...

Arct1k 02.11.2009 12:46 PM

You don't really need a stove... Just boiling water... Just take a couple of packets of RIT - Chuck into boiling water with the wheels....

Leave for 20 mins and done... They come in yellow to...

Or if you want and not in hurry I can add onto my next internet order and will dye for you and resend ...

Not in a hurry I'm still tearing up with the stockers..I would greatly appreciate it if you hooked that up... shoot me a PM with payment details and I'll shoot my addy...thanks man!

Curious would I need a hub adapter to run those or will they bolt up to my revo? I'll put the order in for the tires and glue and if need be the hubs again thanks man!

Sorry just double checked - the Jconcepts only work on LPR tires... This is a proline alternative

Revo_Troop 02.11.2009 02:54 PM

Damn I really liked those multi spoke wheels.. Guess I need to find a tire that will work on them as much as I liked the badlands Im sure there is a tire out there that is just as badass that will fit that wheel.....right?

I appreciate all the help man!!

madmaxx 02.11.2009 03:48 PM

Put the badlands on maximizer beadlock 1/2 offset rims. It looks great.
