Yip 1/4 wheels and tyres!

Make it more of a challange don't ya think!!

If some things easy to do, it's not as much fun

yeah, I agree completely.....but if it's one thing I've learned....sometimes it's better to start from scratch than to hack something to pieces to make it fit.....then you can make how YOU want it and not have to compromise.

I’m definitely looking forward to this. I love RC10s and monster trucks! I can’t help it. Being from southern IN it’s just inbred into you…I mean BRED into you(mama told me never to speak of that). Here’s my GT brushless conversion with IMEX tires. Not nearly as extreme, but loads of fun. I ran it a bit, but then sold the tires and bought new ones for shelf purposes. Keep us posted!

They look huge. I think they would probably be awesome on my Stampede.

Well, I haven’t killed anyone in 3 days. That’s a plus.

As for traction they are about as good as any chevron style tire. Spikes are always best for overall grip, but with 5700kv under 3s power, a little forgiveness even with an all steel tranny(Terminator in drag if you will)is not a bad thing. Plus, they would prolly last forever(if I ever ran them ). Here they are. IMEX is surprisingly obscure. Look around if you get a moment.

Quick update, still waiting on more bits from Flebay...

Quick update.
Chassis sorted, got it at a good length, at least the wheels don't touch......

Need a gearbox anyone help???
Need steering as above??

Thinking of using Traxxas front hubs with a 14mm hex to fit the wheels, need to find out if they'll fit first.........

love your enthusiasm, but I think you are going to have more fun building this than driving it. BUT, I do hope it holds up and you get some good hours out of it.

I find the funs in the build!!

Anyhow, changed to a new project, search MMV CON2......
