Tires

Picked up some big joes. Bad choice? I know they are heavy. I only got 2 b/c thats all they had at time. Should I look at trenchers instead?

yep jmo... for some reason I don't like the joes..
best tire for me are the Badlands...

I agree with 87 GN about the badlands. If they are too skinny for your taste, find some 40 Series Proline Mulchers (they are discontinued).

Cool I reckon I will give them a better look

Say it together with me: Trencher X

Trencher does look like a more all terrain tire.

If like the beefy look you will like the Trencher's

I have to agree with these guys. I have a set of TrencherX mounted on Traxxas Geode's and love them. I ordered last week (got them yesterday) a set of Badlands and Geode wheels. I plan to mount them this weekend. 87GN has this same setup. I had a set of the Badland MT's on my old Revo 3.3 and LOVED them. They hook up like nothing else out there....JMO.

I think my next set of tire just may be Brewers setup.....Trencher 40 Series.

Here are my TrencherX's:

I sold my Trenchers before I even ran them. They weigh a ton and after a few days of looking at the truck with them on I decided I didn't like the look. Prefer to go for a lighter set up just for better acceleration and less strain on parts.

Badlands are my favorite. Got some mounted on Maximizer beadlocks (3.2 size) and when they're worn out I'll probably get some on Geodes.

Blacksheep. Just ordered some 40 series trenchers. Looking forward to them. Did you paint that body on yours? That is sick, but I do love green lol

[87 GN]

Those X's are fat.......... just about bought a set... still might idk......
thinking about Geodes & Talon's with "alot" of tape.... I like the tires just the ballooning............

I broke down a got a set of badlands and put them on traxxas dish wheels. Liking the look of it. Like the offset of the wheels also. Will give them a run soon!

Thanks for the compliment, but I took the easy road and bought the Traxxas Pro Graphic body. All I had to do is add the color. I only wish I had that much skill!!!!

I think you’ll love the Badlands. I had my old MT’s mounted on dish style wheels too. All I can say is be ready if your on hard pack…….those jokers hook up!

[Bigeasy413]

Well then BlackSheep I say good choice then lol. Also those geodes, did you find some black ones or did you paint/dye them? Really like that look!

[kvg20]

Bandlands all the way!!! One rap of duct tape is all that is needed when taping inside of tires....

As far as I know they only come in chrome.......but a little EasyOff or Acetone will do the trick.

Badlands look too thin to me. Takes away from the 'monster truck' look imo.

Also why does it look like everyone who takes pic of their car has never taken it out for a single run?!? My spoiler, body, chassis,wheels are completely dinged up, scratched and dirty. Show offs

[Bigeasy413]

Awesome! Thanks Blacksheep!
