On-road BL project - RC-Monster Forums

vette1: Top speed with 2s on the 4600 was ~47mph. I can still add one more cell for 3s, which should bring it up to ~60, but it's already plenty fast for me. This project went from an "on road" project to "on track" project. :) The only local track I know of is too small to hit those speed without spinning out, so I'm happy.

GorillaMaxx360: That's ok, we'll forgive you... this time, but don't let it happen again! ;)

neweuser: When using 2/2" rims with the RPM arms, you have to replace the hub pin retailer cap screw with a grub screw on the rear so it clears the inside of the rim. For the front: you have to shim out the tires with a few washers. I did get a set of those 2.8's you were talking about, but they seem to be out of stock online a lot and my LHS doesn't carry them yet. They are the imexx rims/tires. These are what you are talking about...

Well, I didn't have to shave my back screw at all with my rpms and 2.2 wheels. But for my front wheels, i run stock because i like the low profile on the tires. I have the dished wheels from Traxxas that I would like to try here soon and am still looking at what tires to put on. I mostly bash with my jato(more like beat the hell out of it) so I don't race it. If I could just find a track around here! ARG!

You didn't have any clearance issues with RPM arms??
