JConcepts SCX-6 2.9" Landmines I dropped this in the Large Scale Forum, but I figured I'd also share it here. https://www.mojavevalleyrcadventures...landmines.html Edmundo from Crawler Innovations graciously humored me with foams for research and testing. As you all know, the right set of foams can really make a difference, and the Landmines with the CI foams are something special. If nothing else, the read will help you fall asleep. :ror: |
Re: JConcepts SCX-6 2.9" Landmines Interesting read, not sure when I could swing picking up an SCX-6 - although I really like the Honcho version. Hey, Steve! (potential thread derailment approaching..."thumbsup") I've talked to you before about the Nomad buggy that we both have - is there any way you could do me a solid and test fit a 2.9" JConcepts Hazard wheel to the Nomad and see if it clears the suspension components? I'd love to run a taller tire like the Landmine or Tusk, obviously at slower speeds... Although maybe the 7" tires would also rub like crazy when turning? I have a set of the 1.9" versions on my Ecto, and love 'em to death! |
Re: JConcepts SCX-6 2.9" Landmines Thanks for sharing! I'd think they might want to use a harder compound but you're spot on regarding the foams. I too have been holding out for CI to release something. The stock tires in a non R35 compound (i believe) work pretty darn good with the stock foam. I dont think I've ever stuck with stock crawler tires so long like I have with the SXC6. I've been hoping for a scale tire like Krawlers eventually. |
Re: JConcepts SCX-6 2.9" Landmines Sorry to meander off topic, but what size hex do they use? I got a set of mounted Super Rock Rey tires 7"x2.75" and wondering if they'd fit. The Losi's are 20mm I believe. Edit: Behold, the powers of Google... Looks like SCX6 is 17mm. Either way these 6th scale tires are some big meats! |
Re: JConcepts SCX-6 2.9" Landmines Greetings all, The hex is 17mm but as for fitting the Nomad, it will not work. It's bored through for a 6mm straight axle and not a buggy 17mm hex style. JC also released the Tusk for the SCX-6, but I haven't had a change to get my mittens on them yet. Soon I hope. Thanks for all the good words everyone! s |
Re: JConcepts SCX-6 2.9" Landmines Much appreciated, Steve! Even though they aren't licensed, I really like the Tusk's interpretation of the Mickey Thompson Baja Pro XS tire. Those are what's installed on Matt's Off-Road Recovery's big wrecker build. |
Re: JConcepts SCX-6 2.9" Landmines Interested to hear on how you think the Anti-Foams compare to the other traditional foams. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk |
Re: JConcepts SCX-6 2.9" Landmines Greetings, We have a set of the Anti-Foams here and been running them a bit with the Proline Hyrax. Will try to get that piece pulled together over the next month or so. s |
