I think i have decided to go with 2.8 traxxas chevrons. They are shorter than the og tmaxx wheels with the same look. They are 5" tires with bigger rim. I think they will proportion out better than narrowed maxx wheels. The rock grabbers are 5.5" and i feel thaey are a little big. Downside is there arnt many options for wheels

Chassis looks great. What part number are the traxxas 2.8s? The lack of wheel options is what got me to go with the rc4wd 2.2 tractor tires but I wonder if the 2.8s would be better than what I have now. What do you use for notching tube? Last edited by monkeymagic9; 09-27-2015 at 01:41 PM. |

Got some paint and stickers on it. Gonna redo the vinyl lettering on the front smaller and in red. going to do a windsheild banner that reads INTIMIDATOR and add scale touchs like window rivits and such. Picked up a set of 2.8 wheels to narrow as well and i think they are gonna be the perfect size. Last things i have to order are the traxxas stampede 4x4 tires to cut up and a full set of gmade piggyback shocks.

Nothing special. Not a crawler so no need for a skid. Still may add one in the future.
