The tires are not only taller but also narrower. Added bonus it the added weight that I get with these with should help climbing.


Notice the deepr lugs also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not shure. I have had a lot of the parts for awhile and so I don't keep track. As for the new parts I buy a little at a time and when the deal is good keeping cost down.

I ordered the 3.8 BFG Krawlers today. I also picked up a new esc to try. It's a SkyRC Toro-8S 150A ESC for 1:8 sensored/sensorless RC 2-6s LiPo+capacitors that I found on ebay. It's being shipped from china so it will be awhile before I see it. The tires are from NY so they should be here in a week. I got a smoking deal on them 55.00 set of 4 shipped!

I also bought a pair of 1300 20c reciever packs to run the 1/5 scale hitec 5575 servo on 2s. That should turn the big wheels and tires with no problems!
