looking for tire options and more
 

so i know the volcano has a 12mm wheel hex, any good 12 mm tire whell combo out there
and bodies what else would fit?
and shocks......say would shocks from a emaxx work?? if not what would work
anything else ya guys can think of post up in here
thanks

The wheels on the Volcano are big. If you don't need the monster truck tires you could go a little smaller with less sidewall. This will keep the tires from ballooning and will also handle better. You'll gain torque and off the line power but sacrifice some top end. You could always swap the clutch bell out for a 18T to get the stock gearing back. I just recently picked up these Pro-line Rims and tires for my Tornado. I think there Desperado wheels and Dirt Hawgs tires. They're considered 2.8 size rims.

the brushless motor and tranny is stock geared,    i found some jato wheels  thats a 12mm hex
 

RE: looking for tire options and more
 

oh, didn't realize it was brushless. The Jato wheels I think are smaller than what I have. I think they're considered 2.2 size rims. You'll probably need a bigger pinion gear.

i believe Jato wheels are 2.8's they would be a good replacement but tire wise i think the jato has ribbed fronts so you would need 4 rears from the jato.

RE: looking for tire options and more
 

yeh, the jato 2.8 rears should be pretty decent. they are still a bit smaller than stock tires, but if you up the pinion gear 2-3 teeth it should make up for that.

i put stampede 2.2 rear rims with proline masher 2000 tires on mine.

RE: looking for tire options and more
 

nice i like it,   ok so just look for a 2.8 size tire then correct???
 what about shocks and bodies

RE: looking for tire options and more
 

2.8's or 2.2's will work as long as they are the right offset and have 12mm hex,,,, Or i guess pin backed wheels will work too but id prefer to leave the hexes on. I tried my HPI 2.2's tonight and they dont fit, the wheel is not larg enough around and the offset is in to far for the fronts to fit so try and stick with 2.8s

RE: looking for tire options and more
 

well if the jato wheels will work no problem ill pick those up,  found some for 20 bucks
  so what about the bodies and the shocks    will a emaxx body fit    or emaxx shocks fit  

RE: looking for tire options and more
 

I think emaxx shocks are a bit shorter than the volcano's....Ill check later.

An emaxx body is much to long for the volcano.

A body meant for the stampede should be close tho. much closer wheel base on the 2 trucks.

RE: looking for tire options and more
 

well i guess i should ask the question would any 1/10 scale shock work on the volcano
 

RE: looking for tire options and more
 

do you know if that bug body in your sig has the right wheelbase for a rustler? after i sell the volcano chassis i think im going to buy either the semi body or the bug body for the rustler.
