-Great, even though they aren't as soft.
-Great, they track better in grass than the stock possible do to being thinner.
-No out of balance running the same speeds (stock gear ratio)
-Surprising...
I think every once in a which when I'm in reverse and cut the wheel I hear a rub but I don't notice any wear on the body yet. I just got in from running with a 25c 5200mah lipo and I'm loving these...
Yup, I added .6lb total weight of rotationally mass which I can feel with the stock batterys (motor didn't get any hotter which is a good thing). I plan to run with lipos and see how the power and...

Finialy figured how to post a picture instead of a link, yahhh!! Here ya go guys. Weight of rim and tire = .84lb Stock Summit wheel and tire = .69lb. I love them so far, just need to get them...
OK just got the tires, majorly narrow but hopefully I will come up with something to make wider.

While I'm waiting for the Excavators xtr to come in I figure I'd take some shots to show that these rims have no backspacing at all. I need a fix, I'm thinking axle hub extenders or something else. ...
Ignore this post, I went with the Proline Trenchers 3.8 40 link found here http://monster.traxxas.com/showthread.php?t=526205
Nice links guys!
Really I thought it was "For The Win".:)
Not off the top of my head
I've changed just about every gearing possible and the stock seems good for the stock summit wheels and tires. Any more higher gearing with Nihm will just bog in heavy grass. Lipo's FTW
I believe it shows everything you need in the instructions. Just make sure you don't have any spare parts left over like I did (bearing) hehe.
I did the the 2 speed conversion to my e-revo and went with the close ration gearing since I had the wide in the summit already . Its fun and less strain on the esc/motor if your crawling around...
Sure will when everything gets here
Good question, this seems to be the problem. Traxxas rubber is to soft to last long. Pro line makes sick tires but you have to use thier rims. Hopefully I'll like this setup.
Well looks the the answer is no, so I went with thier Tech 5 rims (says light weight). I know the offset will be a lot less with sucks but oh well. Heres a picture of the same setup on what looks...
Guys I need some help! I just ordered some Proline Trenchers 3.8 40 series tires for my Summit They look sick! http://prolineracing.com/tires/trencher-3.8-40-series-all-terrain-tires/
Can I used...
Wow cool looks like other like this tire also. Would be cool to see it on a truck. Anybody got pics?
Outer Diameter: 7.2" (184mm)
Inner Diameter: 4.4" (111mm)
Width: 3.4" (86mm)
I think they are ment for the Baja? They look perfect for crawling with the Summit.

Ok figured out what was going on. My Steering trim was all the way to one side to make the truck drive straight. I moved the trim to 0 and notice the servos arms were not 90 degrees from the...
Got it! I didn't have the antenna wire running out the little box along side the servo/esc wire. I geuss the pinch caused by the reciever box effects the signal. All and all it works normal again...
