The flashpoints are a pretty soft but the 1.9 pitbulls are on their own playing field. The 1.9 pitbulls are the softest tire I have ever felt but can't run those on this rig, I use this yota as my CLASS ONE rig. RC4WD came out with two new 1.9 Baja "MTZ" and "CLAW" tires, those tires are way softer then the flashpoint and are legal in CLASS ONE. All in all, I like the flashpoints, with the soft compound but not crazy soft compound, with the stock foams and they still keep good tire height. Hence they don't comprise too much, keeping your ground clearance still intact. Ground clearance is important to a least me in CLASS ONE, so the skid and pumpkins don't keep getting hung up on rocks or etc. Also, if you haven't seen it already, check out the scale tire size chart I came up with.:mrgreen: http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/tires...ze-charts.html |
Just saw your tire chart...great work! It really needs to be stickied...pm the mods, I can't see it not....sticking! The highlux is looking good too. "thumbsup" |

Re: Justin's Street(1.9) Truck: SCX10 Hilux.... Justin, my hat's off to you on this build. The more I look at it, the more I'm impressed. Despite all the time and money(!) I've got invested in the body of my 'Yota, I'm nonetheless considering building another body with a flatbed very similar to yours. Did you build the bed with all solid bar stock? If so, it must be pretty darn heavy, huh? I'm curious if it hurt the overall performance compared to the plastic bed. I'm still trying to figure out how you fit so much more under your cab than me! And I even have my servo winch mounted in the back under the bed. What interior are you running? I didn't see how you mounted the body. I assume it's Velcro'd into place? Honestly, I think my only criticism is your tire choice. I know the Flashpoints work well, but your truck is so nice I think it deserves something more "scale-appropriate". :ror: Seriously, keep up the good work! BTW, this pic looks so real.... http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/s...1/IMG_7923.jpg |

I was thinking about getting MTZ's but I like the tire high of the flashpoints. I have seen the MTZ's in person, there some what off a soft tire and comprese a bit more then the flash points(Dragging the belly a bit). Maybe when it gets nicer out I will pick up some of the MTZ's, when we have more WARCRC scale comps on mono-ish rock. Quote:

Re: Justin's Street(1.9) Truck: SCX10 Hilux.... Well, to help out in the scale points department with this truck, I ordered up two RC4WD Scale Plastic drivers. Per the scale point rules, these have knees....so I will get a total of -4pts with these two drivers wahooooo!:mrgreen: CLICK HERE>>> Scale Plastic Driver Figure http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j1...x/IMG_9538.jpg Here is a shot of the figure in the Dinky R/C repop hilux interior....I run the OG interior.:mrgreen: Dinky RC hilux interior...

Re: Justin's Street(1.9) Truck: SCX10 Hilux.... i'm liking the truck but i noticed in the one video that the rear looks like it slides around a little, or maybe its just the v treads not having much side to side traction, either way i like it, the tires set it off though!"thumbsup" |
