Hey peoples, first post in over a week 8O

Anyway, this is a pic from a thread a long while back on RCMT, and I think the sami looks very nice. I don't know if they are 44's or 38's though.

Those are 38"s.. Possibly even 35"s


A sami on 44"s is fine.

44"s on a sami axle is RETARDED. It'll be WAY to narrow and WAY too tall, with NOT NEARLY enough wheelbase. I mean, whats the WMS on a sami axle? 50"? If you're going for a show truck I'm sure someone will like it. On the trail it will be useless, I'm not trying to bash you, I'm just informing you... I won't even get to the fact that you won't be able to back out of your driveway because of the lack of power and if you do move it'll break cause Sami (1/4 ton axles) were NOT meant to take 44" tires

Yeah....the sami with rockwells and 44"s is sweet as hell. but thewn again they arent narrowed and the wheelbase has been lenghtened. Heres a sami..stock axles with 40" boggers..
Thats just stupid looking. I dont want to think of what 44"s would look like.

A sammy on 44s is just too tall for it's wheelbase. you need to lengthen it big time

If any of you think 44's belong on a Sami axle, You need to stick to RCcrawlers

I must agree that is way to much tire for those axles unless your
are putting it on a shelf to look at.

This entire thread made me about fall out of my chair!!!

So you want to buy a set of 60 axle shafts and narrow them enough to put into sami housings, then respline them all the way down to 23 spline (I think thats what samis are) and put 44"s on it?

I think it's time to put the crack pipe down and go RCCRAWLING!

I highly recommend bringing the crack pipe with you when you go rccrawling! It would make for better video footage!
