TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

Has anyone tried it yet??

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

Outside of the demo trucks, not sure anyone here has gotten one yet.

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

You might be right. I've been cruising through the Traxxas forum and there's a bunch of those guy's that have 'em, I posted the question there as well.

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

I think 1.55's are going to look stupid silly and that's IF they work. I'm not sure they will clear the portals without a lot of offset. Aren't the stock wheels 2.2?

Dear Mr. Ripper

The stock wheels are 1.9.

Forgive me, spaceman, for I have sinned!

Your name makes me think of the song "Spaceman" by Artificial Joy Club. That takes me way back.

Here is a pic of Carterfab's truck running Vanquish wheels with .225 hubs and they clear the portals but not by much.

A 1.55 is a lot smaller so I really doubt is would fit over the portal. Wide offset hubs would be needed and this truck doesn't need to be wider.

Good post! "thumbsup"

The old VP wheels are stupid narrow and they look so out of place on this truck judging from this photo! :lmao:

With offset comes more leverage on the axle. The bearings are going to wear much faster and there's potential that this axle housing will break. 1.55's are probably a bad idea.

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

I've never heard that song or band, I'm a metal guy lol.

I can't even remember why I named myself spaceman....

Anyway, I compared the wheelbase of the 1:1 and the TRX-4 and it's about 1/8th ish scale so 1.55 wheels would look a little small.

I barely remember the song or the band. For some reason it hit me when i saw your username. LOL They were a one-hit wonder band I believe from the 90's. The singer was female. Their semi-hit was "Sick and Twisted". I like a little bit of everything in terms of music.

Sounds like it would look perfect next to the Sawback since that's also closer to 1/8th or so. The stock tires are "only" 4.64" OD so they're not as big as I had thought.

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

I did something silly and read the manual.

It says the minimum required inner diameter for wheels is 38 mm (1.5 inches). I can't think of a 1.55 wheel on the market with 1.5 inches of inner clearance.

Well looky here!

That looks as horrid as expected.

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

Needs lowered at least 2" to look normal perhaps.

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

Meh.... those Thrashers are a bit on the small side Of what I would be interested in running, they're 3.67" and the Iroks i'm interested in are 4.4" and the oem's are 4.64"

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

Just how I like my 1:1 D110s: rocking 38 inch Iroks on 13 inch rims. :lmao:

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

Even with that the wheel arches are huge. A 1.55" wheel will never look right on this body IMO. Not even with a huge 1.55" tire.

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

I think some 2.2s and a large 1.9 tire like the Hyrax would suit this rig well. Dontchyathink?

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

Stock tires are 4.64" which is large-ish for a 1.9. I think small 2.2s or large 1.9s are a must with this body.

The 4.75" tires like the Hyrax are going to create a lot of body rub so they might be a little too big. We shall see...

Re: TRX4 with 1.55"'s??
 

Rare is the stretched tire that looks good.

I'll stick with 1.9s but definitely going with a tall tire.
