Welcome to RCMT

Good start you have there.

If I could make a suggestion, try to find a lighter tire, like Imex Truck Pull or Baja. You'll break fewer parts with a lighter tire/wheel setup.

thanks for the tip,now that you mentioned it i noticed that the weight from the wheels were making my truck a little slow.

Check out my ''evil influence'' build. I used Imex pullers, I could feel a big weight difference between them and stock clod tires. The Imex were much lighter. Unsprung weight makes a big difference in handling.

Only for rock crawlers would you want that kind of weight.

just to clarify...
the clod tires that Bill is referring to weigh less than the Ofnas mentioned.
the m2ks on your rig now should weigh less than both, unless theyre weighted.

right, Bill?

Correct sir!! :tong

yeah, i think Mike may have thought you meant his curent tires were heavy.
i didnt want him to be confused right after getting here!
:willy

 

[MikeV3jz]

i got a little confused for a bit but now i know! lol the mk2's feel kind of weighted because the outer rim is made of metal and the inside is plastic.

 

[joe]

the m2ks are a great all around basher.
ive been using them for years.
but bigger tires are always fun, too!
