    Would like to have some of those 74's in monster truck tire design. I'm working on building a 1/24 scale monster truck out of an Axial SCX24 and I dont like any of the tires I see out there for it. None of them look quite because they just look like monster truck tires but aren't actually quite tall enough imo.

  • @davidkraus4634
    @davidkraus4634 8 месяцев назад

    I ordered 90% of these parts to do the same thing. I already have the low gears on the stock wheels and honestly it does no good. The wheel speed when needed is not there. I'd like to see when I install these big wheels to get more wheel speed. I also made the mistake of cutting my springs to make it a crawler. Gonna have to upgrade the stock shocks. I'm very new to this but I was thinking injora 59mm brass shocks. Any input would be appreciated

  • @Gibsonlife573
    @Gibsonlife573 11 месяцев назад

    One thing I think that they done wrong when it comes to they're pin Tire their new one that you just showed I believe they should have offset the rose by like 3 mm maybe not even that much but I have a set of the 65 mm pins and I cut them every two pin roll off so it is like a zig zag back and forth across the tire and I'm telling you right now it increases that Tire's performance by 50% that might be a little extreme but it really increases the performance

  • @Slaters_RC
    @Slaters_RC 11 месяцев назад +1

    Check out the mofo rc 1up wheels. They have a nice classic deep dish look, multiple options including brass upgrades. The offset gives you a nice stance and you can never have to much wheel speed with a mud truck.

      That's how all portal axles work man. You can use the transmitter to program the esc to reverse the throttle or you just switch the red and black motor wires in the plug. Super easy. Portals are hands down better than straight axles for clearance.
