big joe or trencher x

[REVO-5309]

hey guys, I'm looking at getting either of those tires/wheels. where is the cheapest place to get a set? i had a place lined up to get the trencher x for $72 plus postage which was gonna be around $30. I'm pretty keen on the trencher x but what ever works out cheaper.

trencher x -- Pro-line 1184-11
big joe -- Pro-line 1103-13

I have a set of Big Joes and they are hell on the drive line. If you have a weak spot they WILL find them. There IS a such thing as too much traction. Check the weight on both of them as well. The Trencher might be a tough bit lighter....not sure though. Either way those with bead locks will weight a lot.

so would these be better?

what size on the trencher there is a tall and narrow and a wider shorter,the wider shorter ones are a lil bit taller than the joe and i bit narrower and the talls are almost 7 inches but are narrow at just under 3 and a halve,i think that the trenchers are easier on the drive line especially if you dont run beadlocks

If you're still rollin a 3.3 I don't recommend either of them.

why would you say that?

why would you say that?

Cause you'll have to gear it down so far to get your bottom end back that it's no longer fun. They take a lot away from the motor

There are a bunch of happy peps running the Badlands, they are #6 on my need to order list.

 

[REVO-5309]

the bad lands are a lot thinner tho.... I'm thinking of the response tires now on the white dish rims. and getting another set of the factory ones for bashing and every day crap

i dont have either, but my running buddy has a set a big joes on his 3.3. maxx, and while they look great, they are heavy, and they do affect your powerband, especially on the low end! they do hook up good once you get them going!

 

[2revo1maxx]

I hated my big joes. Too big and too heavy!
3.8 badlands on dish wheels are a rockin setup....or you could put them on any other trx 3.8 wheel.

 

[REVO-5309]

what about the width? there heaps thinnner than the stock wheels?

 

[2revo1maxx]

I don't know. I have them on trx dish wheels and they fit perfect.

 

[REVO-5309]

they the ones that come with the response tires?
