To 40 series or not to 40 series, that is the question

...a kiddie shovel is something that gets thrown in a bag for the 2 year old to use in the sand pit / box at the local park...he can dig up things like dolly heads, cigarette butts and pussy poo...THATS when you need the bucket of Tide ;) We had to ban Baby Bit from using the old garden fork in the playground after he started to pretend he was Bruce Lee with it

Yeah, yeah, I do not have any kids yet... Please do not shoot me! I figured the kiddie shovel was what you described, but I figured that i would ask just in case you had a legit use for it! Sounds like you have a cute kid, hopefully he does not put anyones eye out!!!

Amway, good god that place (idea?) seems to have gone out of style around here. Good thing, as they always try to get you to join, kinda like a cult. I am glad you have 125lbs of it, but keep in mind you can cut up a liquid detergent bottle and use it as a scoop!

Ok, WTF is with the serious off topicness all of a sudden.

Dude, the thread got pointless, too many people saying stuff and no actual info.

So I just weighed some stuff. All in grams.

Big Joe tire w/ foam 294.30

Proline 40 series beadlock (commando?) 173.50

Both of the above on the scale at the same time 467.80

Stock lst2 atx tire and 420 wheel 432.90

The lst2 tires are taller than the big joes, and look better, IMO. The 420 wheels do have 20mm hexes, but you can put those tires on any 40 series wheel. I plan to run them as is on my lst with 20mm hexes. They will be quite a bit heavier than the maximizer beadlock/ badlands combo I run now.

I also have some 40 series crimefighters on different wheels

40 crimes on losi 420 wheel 294.5

40 crimes on proline wabash spoked wheel 233.80

I guess you can see which I will run on the Muggy... Saving 60+ grams per wheel, 240 grams total, that is quite a bit in rotating mass. I was going to run the 420 wheels as I have 20mm hexes, but I think the weight savings is worth picking up 23mm hexes to match the wabash wheels.

I have some other wheels and tires hanging around, I can weigh and measure them up and post a thread if you guys like...
