RE: Backdraft/earthquake/aftershock
I've seen 17mm buggy wheels on an Aftershock, but not truggy wheels ona Backdraft.. Im sure someone has done it, but with the problems they've had with the front hubs on the Backdraft, I'd be affraid to put the wider-heavier truggy wheels/tires onone.. At least until it's confirmed that they've fixed the problems.. (Although there are at least 2 mods I've seen done to make the front hubs on those practically bulletproof.. One is by reinforcing the "pin" area with tape and tiewrap, and the other is removing the pin and retainers and replace with a threaded pin made for a traxxas) You can find both mods by searching this forum.. On another note, why not just go with a Truggy from the get go? The Monsoon is a beast!! Read up on the Monsoon Support Thread for some great info from guys whorace them!!

Yea i made the one with tape and zip tie, i would combo the tape & zip tie with the traxxas bolts, or long screws.

That thing looks pretty tough! I wonder what my Monsoon Truggy would look like with buggy rims/tires? As it is I think the Monsoon tires are quite a bit wider than most "truggies"..If ya want to compare, my Monsoon tires are 120mm tall and 82mm wide.. What are the demisions of those?

looks ok, kinda weird.
i think my buggy looks sweet while screaming down the road...
watch your clutch on the backdraft 3.5 nitro.
mine is locking up with a 1/2 gallon run though it.
i files it down because it was squashing and it is still locking up so its time to get new shoes.
