Proline Moab XL on Proline LPR

[superlightmaxx]

Do you guys think they would fit? I dont want to spend a fortune on the cheyenne bead lock and there way more heavy! I want to use that combo for bashing and it looks perfect at 7.3 in tall x 3.4 in wide and would only weight 275g with the lpr rims... with the specs they look to fit but pro line says they only fit on their chayenne rims!

Based on this though the mounting width is less only 2.35 vs 2.74 for a normal 40 series

I would say you need to use a wheel with close to a 2.75" mounting width..

Personally I really like the badlands for bashing

If you look closely in the xl tire specs it says mounting width 2.35...
and the LPR rims have a width of 2.3 so that pretty close to me! I can't find the width of the NARROW cheyenne Beadlocks as they only show the regular cheyenne specs on their site...Maybe they did this in purpose for sneeky devils like me... anyway's i'm still waiting for anyone who did this and if I dont get an answer i'll post my pic and comments one I've got them.

thanks

The narrow beadlocks I believe 2.75"...

I didn't see it right the first time. thanks ! but i'm still going to try and mount them on LPR rims as there much cheeper, and weight 55g instead of like double that for the beadlock.

thanks for you help

Its really the diameter that matters most. Width is not a big deal.

As many know, a 1/10 2.2" rear truck rim is much wider than a 1/10 2.2" rear buggy rim, but I mounted truck tires onto the buggy rims - I liked the look better, to be honest. It gives it more of a Truggy look (since truggy/MT tires seem to have narrower rims with slightly wider tires). I use these on my CRT .5.

that's what I tought, I just ordered them today so going to soo how they fit! LPR rims are the same width as Standard maxx sized rims and average maxx sized tires are about 3.5in width and the moab xl are 3.4in also but taller so I'm pretty sure they will fit! I'll post a pic once there mounted.

Here are the results! Beside my komodo's to compare.

By the way for people who are fanatics about specs like me the Proline are way off in there specs for the MOAB XL.

here are the quoted and real specs:
height: 7.31" -----> real is 7" !!
weight: 220g -----> real is 260g !!!
width is as specs at 3.4"

But I still saved a lot of weight by mounting them on LPR instead of the beadlocks and the tire + rim weight is 320g witch is about the same as a standard e-maxx tire/rim combo! I think this is really a good basher combo as it's not heavy like other big tires and is still 7" tall!!!

Are my rimms that freaking heavy? i have the smaller moabs and they weight roughly 500 gram per wheel.. (on 40 series commando beadlocks)

here is what is looks like with my Gorilla E-maxx! and by the way the wheelbase is 13.7 but looks like 12 with these tires!
