Well I figured out the wheels that come stock on the Hurricane, are relatively cheap. Left rear wheel blew off completely... I would like to find a good set of wheels and tires, maybe with a little wider stance, and kinda offset. Need some other items, but just need an opinion on the wheels and tires. Somehow I believe I'm getting air into my fuel lines, not sure how but maybe thinking my tank lid is not sealing very well. The buggy will sparatically take off on its own, like its getting an air pocket and going lean. All and all the Hurricane XP is great. Built very nice and extremely powerful. The only flaw i could find in it, is the cheap wheels. Just wanted to see what you ran on yours, or what Ehroof might recommend.

I'll be ordering hopefully tommorow...

most rtr cars come with cheap tires just to tell u

ehroof

check out your tank, i have went thru a couple, that may be your problem. Check out clermonts site, i dont know if he has tires up there, i like the badlands.

If he does not show the tires on his site I know he has them there and you could just email him or call him. He does carry the badlands but if they are in stock I do not know. If you think you fuel tank is not sealing correctly then take off both fuel lines at the pipe and the carb, leave them connected to the tank and pinch off one tube and blow in the other and see if you can still blow air, if so then it is leaking. I have had one tank leak on me.

LOL.....I thought there might be a dimension to them, so you don't buy the wrong height.

Depends on what you are running your buggy on. I run on a clay track and I like to run Proline bow ties or crime fighter depending on how loose the track is. They have three copounds available. The softer the tire the more tracktion, but they wear quicker. So where you are running is very important.

yeah florida clay, nothing like it lol... Some even run the holeshots. My track is getting clayed thursday... yahhhh..

hrdcoreglf

Cool, makes it much more fun to run. Especialy if you have good irrigation. If you can keep the track damp its a sweet ride. Bring an air compressor with a high pressure nozzle, If you don't already. Great for getting the clay out of all the nooks and crannies. Hope it turns out cool. Post some pics.
