*Holy thread revival Batman!*
Well, last year I didn't run my trucks or buggy at all ( the horror.. ) for one reason or another ( constant rain + 9 months unemployment tends to put a downer on ones mood & kills any motivation to do.... anything ), but this year things are a lot better & I certainly intend to use my trucks, and do some more video of course. Now, a while back there was some serious work done at the top of town and a rather large coach car park was built for all the horrid coaches full of tourists that plague the town every year ( or, target practice as I refer to them... ); point being that it's a seriously large area with no obstacles to hit, just a sea of smooth tarmac from one side to the other. This naturally makes for a brilliant running surface for R/Cs as we all know, but as it is I only have one set of on-road tires, those being the rather large and heavy Imex Jumbo ClawDawgs which are currently on Project Mulligan, the Gmaxx having the off-road Axial Terror-izers which would be worn bold/smooth in no time at all if used on-road. So, after a little ebay shopping....
Proline 40 Series Rages, mounted on Axial 8 spoke over sized rims. The tires actually came with some Proline Velocity 6 spoke rims, but those only had 14mm hexes; luckily the tires weren't mounted ( glued ) so I just bought some rims I liked with 17mm hexes and mounted the tires to those instead. You'll have to excuse the messy mounting job, I made the mistake of using some very runny CA glue which dribbled allover the place, but they tires are mounted very solidly so should stay on the rims with this new set up which is just begging for some warmer weather to go and test it....
