tires/wheels combos

Posted: Fri Dec 11, 2009 1:11 pm Post subject: tires/wheels combos

has anybody tried either the pro line mulchers or badlands on the rpm revolver wheels on their flux? first off i am not sure they fit on those wheels cause they say they need 3.4 tires and i think both are 3.2, a little help with that question would be appreciated. If you have tried either combination how do you like them on the flux? I am in Iraq and want to order them but i dont want to deal with any fitting hassles, thanks in advance. oh by the way I recently installed the new TCS TVPs and I absolutely recommend them. I got the orange and its very cool looking and tough as nails.

Thanks

The Pro-Line tires will fit on both the revolvers and HPI mt wheels with no troubles. The Badlands are good Baja/desert tires.

love my badlands MT sized tires. Love them. The revolver rims come with the chrome OFF where the bead glues, and that's a nice feature. Also have a bit more than half-offset, which is also not bad. I like my revolvers also. Make sure you get the 17mm hex ones, they also have a 14mm set.

Yes just make sure you are ordering the MT Badlands and the MT Revolvers. Actually I suggest the Revolver Stablemaxx MT 17mm hex version specifically.

I had Badlands on proline Velocity dish rims but little did I realize they were LPR which made the tires look very weird being squished cause the rim was so big. I also forgot that I couldn't run on concrete without shredding the crap outa the badlands. I sold them and got Axial wicked retro rims with HPI GT-S tires. Loved the tires, hated the Axial rims, they stripped easily within a few runs Then I got Proline Mashers with HPI dish wheels but I hated the look so much, I got rid of them and never even drove them once. Now im on HPI GT-S tires with HPI dish rims and im very happy

Thanks for the help guys, the problem with trying to run rc in a place like iraq is you dont want to mess around with things that may or may not work since you already have about a 2 week mail delay. breakage is enough of a problem and you dont need self inflicted heat rounds. So I really appreciate it when you guys help me out so i dont waste time with set ups or hop ups that are not too effective. Bash on

Badlands sure are popular. I myself love them but prefer the Maximizer 17mm 1/2" offset beadlocks for rims.

arisking, did you post your picture like that as a teaser? or am i the only one who only sees like the top 3 mm of your pic? i like the look of the maximizer beadlocks, but the only set of beadlocks i ever had were for my firestorm and i did not like them, looked great but didnt hold the tire very well, soon i may delve back into that scene, thanks though
