as long as we're talking about tires, anyone run proline mashers? they look like a fun bash tire.
also, good sand tire anyone?
yea used to run them on my MT2 before I went to 2.8inch rims with the HB Lightning GT10 ST tires (they are the same outer diameter as masher 2ks)
to make em work you will have to cut the wheel well out slightly to allow it to turn or it will catch the body.
The mashers worked great IMO Would still use them on my MT2 but its just that I got a few sets of the lightning GT10 tires for a steal ($5 a set of 4), and 2 of my mashers needed to be replaced(I got 2 used, and bought 2 new) so the GT10 tires were cheaper in the end for same diameter
@SyCo_VeNoM - Thank you for sharing the info on the MT2 tires and wheels. I'm new to the MT2 nitro trucks and I'm looking around for 2.8 (inch?) black wheels to match with some tires for higher clearance off-road bashing. It is not clear to me what tires/wheels fit and/or if any changes need to made to the stock setup to fit larger sizes (you noted haveing to cut wheels). I currently have what I believe to be are the stock HPI racing dirt bonz tires/wheels that came with the truck.
Any recommendations beyond the HB tires/wheels?
outher diameter is around 4.9 inches
I had to cut the wheel well on the body to make it larger to allow the tire to spin freely when I turn the wheels
prestonlal According to tower (they sound about right from what I remember, kinda misplaced my tape measue at the moment)
Wheelbase: 11.75" (298mm) wheels on-center front-to-rear
Tread-Front: 10.25" (260mm)
Rear: 10.75" (273mm) wheels on-center side-to-side
Front Track: 12.5" (317mm)
Rear Track: 12.5" (317mm) wheels at outer edges
IMO persay a rally body won't work. I made a rally out of one, and ended up using a HPI Savage body on it, and HPI RS4 arms. I also had issues finding tires that looked right for the body, and ended up with traxxas 1/16th slash tires on it
shock towers are off the super rally (wish I remembered the parts list) body posts are from the RS4
That is an electric converted one, but outside the 2 plates everything would work for a nitro edition(I might turn it back to nitro actually)
I'll be honest I wanted the charger body more so for it (I think it would have looked better), but my LHS had a deal I couldn't pass up on the cude when I was looking (70% of on it)
