SCX-10 finally sporting proper tires

[Jus]

This is my first scale rig, I've had it for a couple years.. I've always wanted big aggressive tires and I fell in love when RC4WD released thier licensed Interco Boggers. These are the 4th set of tires this truck has had.. And they are perfect. I started with the RC4wd 1.9 mud slingers.. I had no idea how short they were when I ordered them.. What a mistake. But you can see the type of tire I wanted all along. So I beat the snot out of the stock flat irons for a summer.. They suck in the dirt but are beautiful on the rocks. Last fall I ended up with Rox Lox and they are a great tire with some added clearance.. But the tread wasn't aggressive enough... These Boggers are so cool.. The tire is very very soft but the foam is very stiff.. Sidewall support on this rig is very firm.. It pulls lines effortlessly that were darn near impossible with the Rox Lox.. I I am amazed so far.

I HAD to have them for this truck.. It's not pretty but it's a tough little truck.. Has homemade bumpers and sliders, and recently I finally made a servo winch.. Have wanted to do that since I made the front bumper.



Don't mind the rubberband.. A minor annoyance with the servo drifting very slowly.. Have now installed an on/off switch inline to the receiver.. Just need to figure out how to secure hook when not in use.. I'm not going to leave it hanging there like some do.


I just got those RC4wd center hubs they add a nice little scale touch.. Tough little buggers to keep tight though.. Right now i have lock washers behind them.. So far so good.



Also added a RC4wd shackle and clevis incase I need to pull someone or something?



I just love this truck... It is so incredibly fun to drive and I'm proud of the progess I've made with it over the years... Next project after it snows and I can't drive it for a while i'm going to tear it down and grease the axles and check the bearings.. And work on some wheel wells.. I'm going to use rubber.. Maybe like a thin mudflap type material. Also going to think about a different motor.. Currently have a 35T Integy and am thinking of stepping up to a 30T Holmes Hobbies handwound. This truck just needs more horsepower.

It looks like a well driven truck

New tire look great as well!!

[slashkiller]

how you liking the swampers

[lawndog]

are they the 1.9s they look really big I have been looking at some also but they seam to tall for scale

[Jus]

Yes they are the RC4WD Interco TSL Bogger 1.9.

They are excellent. The lugs are really soft and the traction on the rocks even in the single digit temps the other day they hooked up pretty good.. The foams are firm and keep the sidewalls under control.. I love them.

Thanks.

Sounds like someone doesn't know when to let off the throttle.



How smooth is the low speed control geared like that? and what kind of voltage?? I only run 8.4V Nimh.

wasnt in a bind! tire was spinning then hung on a root the first time, but the low end is pretty good, but with the boggers id suggest using a 20t pinion, i only use a 2s 7.4v 1300mah lipo, its great motor for an scx!

Thats one tough looking truck, and those tires look friggin' sweet on it .

The 1.9 Boggers are my next tire for sure. I've read that the side-hill performance isn't as great as other tires, but you can't beat the raw look of a set of Boggers under your machine, and you definitely can't beat the BITE those puupies deliver!

That's just the nature of the beast. Sidewalls that huge aren't going to lend themselves to well to side pressure. They aren't bad though.. They fold over less than the stock flat irons/stock memory foams did.

besides, who's going to sidehill with these things? Just point that SOB straight for the hill and claw right straight over it. That's what these tires are good at.

Guess I will have to have some of these now
