RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
lmao might need to get it shimmed

RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
Cool, so lets set something up for the near future. Gary, are you gonna try out the trenchers or stick with the big joes? Check out the Masher 2000 tires also.
One thing you other guys with MGTs should check out is the body that Gary has on his 8.0. I know you guys like to run with the body off so you can start it back up easy if it stalls or whatever, but with the body Gary has, you can just lift up the back to do whatever, and it just snaps back down when your done, no clips |
RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
ORIGINAL: Voxmagna lmao might need to get it shimmed Joe, I think the older MGT's also have the hinged front body post and quick clip on the back as my 8.0 does. Some people just prefer running without the bodies on, but I enjoy it more when the truck looks like a truck. I actually am bidding on a set of Trenchers mounted on Desperado wheels on ebay. I also just bought a set of Trenchers and wheels for my sons Pede. I'd like to also try out some Badlands. It would be much more of astadium truckwith those smaller tires |
RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
Well i would like to know when and where cuz the last time for fbf i showed up but late cuz i had to eait for my wife so she can come with me so shes not stuck in the house with my son plus i just did a swap to a 3.3 in my sport so i really wanna know how its ganna act in the dirt and bash my t max witch was the donar truck witch now has a .15 lol
|
RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
How late? We were there for about an hour before we got kicked out.
Gary, I've heard good things about the Badlands too, supposed to be one of the best. |

RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
I got a question who makes foam tires unmounted i got a set of wheels with no tires that i wanna make a set of foams for my 3.3 sport
|
RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
I don't think they sell unmounted foams. Check out Jaco foams, but those are premounted.

RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
Trying to buy some used Trenchers or Badlands on Ebay but very disappointing. Most all listings are new and from dealers that try to hit you up with huge shipping charges. I can get cheaper from amain hobbies. The one used set of trenchers I found and bid on went up to 60.00! I can get them new for a little more.
|
RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
Dunno man, they are pretty expensive in 3.8. I can't imagine people wanting to sell there tires if they are some of the best available in the first place, might have to go new. I think I would get unmounted though, this way you could tape them inside to prevent ballooning.
|
RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
I may put my Big Joes up on Ebay if I love the Trenchers and may try the Badlands. I thought about buying them separate to strap them but its even more expensive that way, and i'm just bashing not racing. I pulled the trigger on some Trenchers mounted to Tech 5 wheels at amain hobbies. Best price and free shipping. 77.00 and change, not bad. Yep, the 3.8 are pricey...

RE: NEW YORK CITY BASH
How do you (or your son) like them on the pede? If you do go brushless they will definitely balloon like crazy and look like pizza cutters. Taping is not just for racers, imagine how much control you loose riding on such a thin contact patch. I would also recommend balancing them. On the pede you could just put all the tires on the front stub one at a time, spin them and see where they stop and add some clay to the top.
