My Busted truck

[mumms]

So i finally took the truck to White Sands National Monument to see how it did in soft sands. IT DID AWESOME!!! Man i was launching the truck huge off the sand dunes, but i would like to see it have paddle tires. What do you guys recommend for fronts and rears, Thanks

make sure you blow the sand off and away from your bearings. i had a customer come into the hobby store i used to work at who just came from the beach, and his truck was completely seized. every bearing in the truck including his motor had to be replaced.

Panther 1/8 paddle's, Proline sand paw's 2.8 or the Proline slingshot's.

Thanks for the tip for my bearings

also if i got with paddles in the rear, do they make single razor fronts or just use the stock tires? Sorry for so many questions, still a rookie around these trucks

personally use proline slingshots on Beadlock rims, they are excellent

having all 4 is very nice but you'd be suprised how well just 2 on the rear does

I run slingshots and they rip through the sand. Just don't stand behind your truck lol!

Well after much research and my other post i decided to let my slash rip in the sand and get paddles for it and shock towers

Pro-Line Split Six 2.2/3.0 Bead-Loc Wheels (Red/Black) (2) (Slash/Rear)
Pro-Line Sling Shot SC 2.2/3.0 Tires (2)
ST Racing Concepts Aluminum HD Front Shock Tower (Blue) (Slash 4x4)
ST Racing Concepts Aluminum HD Rear Shock Tower (Blue) (Slash 4x4)

Driving on sand can be a bugger as it gets every where. Compressed air works well cleaning your truck after a run.

I run 4 slingshots on non beadlock split six. If you only use rear and then switch to all 4, youll see a difference.

ya hopefully this Saturday my tires will be in and ill try just the rear then put on all four to see the total improvement. Also try to get a video of the carnage
