Tire/Rim Combo? - RC-Monster Forums

**Tire/Rim Combo? -** 10.29.2006, 12:33 AM

Ill be running stock motors on 14 cells. Ill be driving offroad but sometimes Ill hit the street.

A.40 mashers/40 mambos
B.40 mashers/40 velocity 6
C.Maxx masher/maxx velocity 6 1/2" offset
D.Badlands MT/maxx velocity 6 1/2" offset
E.Badlands MT/maxx 23mm HD hex velocity 1/2" offset

I really dont want to loose torqe. I like C,D, and E, cause I want the offset. Also what color on E? My E has the stock red body.

I love those badlands tires, and never liked the 40's.... my 2 cents....

Could you recomend some better maxx size rims?

I would go for the Badlands with some 23mm Velocity rims. I would choose the 0 offset if you plan on going with 3.3 axles/knuckles. I would also go with yeller. I don't really like white since it looks like $h!t when it gets dirty or scratched.

Why 0 offset?

because it would be VERY wide with the 1/2" offset and the 3.3 knuckles. Being to wide hurts the steering.

I really like the Badlands, but Im not sure how they do on pavement though. Just go for the lightest wheels you can find. That wat you keep acceleration.

Squee, what is an ideal length to width ratio? For a maxx or revo?

I like my Revo, for instance, with the Walbash rims and setback arms, which is 19mm longer than a stock 2.5. It would be even better with a 3.3 or G2R chassis. The Velocity rims make it just plain to wide. For me at least. I guess it is a matter of preferance, but I know for a fact that when I put the Velocity (40 series 23mm) rims on my Revo, it made it almost as wide as it was long with the standard wheelbase. With the 3.3 stuff, a Maxx will have the same width as a stock Revo, so I would choose Walbash rims if 40 series, or 0 offset standard size rims. As for a ratio, not really sure. ^^ is just a few examples of width with difference rims and tires. I can try and get a ratio of my Revo and BPP LSP.
