|  Jumbo Kong tires on a Nylint?
What do you guys think. Yes, i know i will be breaking stuff, but thats what my other chassis is for  .these things are MASSIVE. 8.5" TALL. I would obviously groove them and possibly narrow them. Ideas? comments? My jeep isnt even back together yet and im thinking upgrades. I have the sickness with my 1:1 and 1:16  |

Personaly I think the nylint tires are to big for those axles, but it would look cool....I guess.

several other people have done it, i don't think you'll really break anything if you make sure the belts aren't too tight, just my 2 cents Here's some examples My Huge Nylint Build W/ Kongs dodge nylint w/kongs nylint w/kongs I was really drunk. |

I think theres a reason that everyone uses moabs or xl's and that you don't see alot of kongs anymore.

Depends on what rim you use. Those rims suck, there expensive and take a 23 mm hex. Bender makes adapters to 12 mm for them. I ditched them for the xtm thorns, its a 14mm hex but a much bigger rim. Works alot better. This is the tire, I ran the nylints a while back on my tuber and when I put these on it was 100000% beter. There like glue.

How did you mount the jumbo kongs, And can you please put the jeep body on it and take a pic for us to see. I think it will look 100x better with the jeep body on it. |
