i just bought one and i wanna upgrade the wheels and tires where should i go

the3kid · 01-30-2009, 06:14 AM

Are you bashing or crawling???......stock chassis or not??? wheelbase???
16"+ I would run a 40 series moab with ur choice of bead locks (axial or proline)
~12" I would run a 2.2 sized beadlock with ur choice of tire (claw, rover, moab, etc.)
Stock chassis...get tmaxx adapters and run something a 1/8 monster truck would run, tmaxx, revo, lst...what ever fits thehex adapter mm size

209jeep · 01-30-2009, 11:32 AM

its all set up for clawling

jedsled · 01-30-2009, 12:01 PM

you have to tell us what class rig that youre running... is it a 2.2 or super?

209jeep · 01-30-2009, 02:05 PM

i really dont know much about it but a went down to the local hobby shop and they said i would have to order some off line

Take a measurment from where the center axle of the wheels is to the center of the opposite axle, front to rear, this is your wheel base. This will help us determine what size crawler you have, and help us recomend a rim and tire size.

Not really, need a close up of your axles where the wheel attaches. They look wide enough to be standard Clod wheels and tyres, therefore behind the Clod wheel adapters are 12mm hex's. Can't tell from the pic - you may have wideners/adaptors of a different size.

209jeep · 01-30-2009, 02:45 PM

ya there stock clod wheels no adapters

WolverineX · 01-30-2009, 03:57 PM

Decide what 40Series Wheels and Tyres you want then you'll need to get some wheel wideners/adaptors from TCS (http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Wheel-Wid...-p-1-c-25.html).
You'll have a lot more wheel options with 17mm or 23mm hex's.
I have 17mm Hex Axial 8 Spoke Beadlocks (http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Axial-8-S...3-p-16405.html) and Hot Racing 12-17mm wheel widener/adapters (http://www.tcscrawlers.com/Hot-Racin...6-p-16819.html) from TCS and I am very pleased with them.
I have 40Series MOABS on them and could do with something better...but that's another thread altogether!

chris_dishmon · 01-30-2009, 07:39 PM

that chassis is gonna need a lot of work to get all that workin' right. i can tell you first off those shocks are way too short as well as the placement. and if you want it to crawl anything decent you'll hafta stretch out that wheelbase. just trying to help out.

209jeep · 01-30-2009, 07:46 PM

ya but hey i paid 35 bucks for it

chris_dishmon · 01-30-2009, 08:13 PM

damn, then you got a good start.

209jeep · 01-30-2009, 09:03 PM

lol ya i thought so to its alot of fun

jedsled · 01-30-2009, 09:57 PM

if ur on a budget, buy a pimp cane chassis for it, you wont have to mess with links or shock set-up, and its a proven chassis- u cant get any better chassis for the price!

209jeep · 01-30-2009, 10:03 PM

im working on a plexi chassis right now extending it 3 inches should be good to go

drumbeater · 02-01-2009, 06:49 PM

Get a hold of me through the PM's and I'll help you set it up. I useto run a super clod and I still might have a few parts around here

209jeep · 02-01-2009, 06:52 PM
