Snow · 09-08-2006, 08:32 PM

i like it i did the same thing to mine but no other mods yet ive been working on my 1:6th to much but i have a few ideas keep up the good work

Got Rocks? · 09-08-2006, 08:36 PM

i did it a while ago but i went back to stock for a scale look but on your rig they look good...but width is a lil wide

or,crawler · 09-08-2006, 09:04 PM

Aren't nylint tires the same height as a stock tlt tire? What really are you gaining with those, stock tlt tirees aren't that sticky. Just my 59 cents though

more money

TLTCrawlin · 09-08-2006, 09:31 PM

so if u cant afford that then go back to clodtalk

twisted · 09-08-2006, 09:53 PM

thanks guys for all the responses.

with them narrowed they do give a bit more ground clearence.

they are maybe a tad softer but they have a larger foot print so maybe that will give a bit more traction.

geolanders would work,but i had these...no money spent..almost like all the mods done to this.

yea it is a tad wide but oh well.

heres two pics showing the difference in clearence. 1st shot is the tlt tires.

2nd shot is the stock tires.

not a huge difference but on a 1/18 scale rig every bit counts....

pvtjrt01550 · 09-11-2006, 04:48 PM

there a good bit softer than the stocks... and looks good too...

did some more testing with these tires. it was wet today and i havent finished the cutting but they did ok.im still not uper impressed. i can say they go better in the dirt and mud.

Snow · 09-14-2006, 07:05 AM

i did the same mod to my first 1:18th i love the looks of them over the stockers but i still want some 2.2 moabs or something else on my other one

Bknight · 09-14-2006, 08:14 AM
