the reason i ask about differences between the MT and stadium is i just got hold of another MT and might convert it.
Thanks

Do you want to sell your old mt wheels/tires ?

I already purchased his used tyres, $80AUD for the 4 wheels. WOOOHOOO

I like the new look Jas, I will have to venture down to Melbourne and have a bash at one of your spots.

I will have to show you how us country boys can do some damage to these beasts.

the ST handles like a dream with the baja wheels on . i have tones of traction , and with the front and rear hydro`s i have have a heap of stopping power too .

UPDATE:
well today was the first time i used the FG Baja wheels on dry grass , all i can say is wow . its scary fun , its ripping the front wheels in the air when it changes into 2nd gear [ i just dont mean a little either] i mean its a wonder i didnt break the wheelie bar as its slaming it into the ground . i even had it do a back flip it wheelied that hard . next time ill take my video camrea . the pipe has a huge power band [ and is a huge power producer from mid to high rpms] and this is with my standard zen 26 . im not even thinking about geting a new motor as it would be pointing the front wheels in the air too much .

I am going to turn your MT tyres into onroad slicks, I have some guys at work that can lag the existing tread with a 3mm rubber tread, similar to that of Conveyor roller lagging, should be a good set of home made monster slicks!!!!

What where your thoughts on the Stadium tyres? I have seen them and was very disappointed with the lack of traction they provided for my mates car.

I cant wait too see some 2 speed wheelies from that thing, should look good!!!!


I am thinking that my tax will go on a full set of hydro's, will have to see what your ST brakes like in a video.

stadium tires on grass are bad , i am going to keep my stadiums for onroad use only . baja tires on the grass = traction central , even with wet grass .

Gearing is different on each truck

Monster has 48/16 gear ratio
Stadium has 46/18 gear ratio

Your off road 2 speed should have came 48/46 & 16/18 ,this is fine for a monster ,if you use the 2 speed in the stadium ,you may wanna change those gears to 46/44 & 18/20.

Using those gears that come stock on the 2 speed with baje tires or stadium tires will result to just pulling wheelies and less top end ,but if your fine with that ,hey thats cool!

Looks real nice ,enjoy!
