I'm looking at the 2.2 RC4wd MTZ they are like 4.7" tall which may work better??
The problem you're running in to is that the desert buggies dont typically run a 2.2 inch wheel from what I'm seeing. Looking at DB/DT tires online it seems most of them are SCT tires so I would be looking for SCT wheels and tires. The only 2.2 tires that I can find that might work are THESE Hyrax tires but they are 5.3 inches tall.
But all the people on the DB48 group I'm on says the DB is supposed to have tall tires. All those guys says they run tall tires over 5" and they say the original ones I'm running is fine from the pics I've showed them. So idk I wish really I never converted it to a DB wish I had just built the original 410.3. I been thinking about just selling this one and getting me another MT and a Desert Truck and be done with it
I thought you wanted tires that are more like 4.5" tall but if you want tires over 5 inches then get the Hyrax tires.
Yeah I did but those guys was saying that those lower tires will cause me to drag the chassis over everything. But the thing is I didn't really build that for rock racing I just built it to be a off-road/Desert Buggy. As I've stated my terrain I run in my backyard is not just what you say extreme rough. But yes they are small roots, Rocks, Twigs, ect... In my track because it runs through the woods. So we exposed a lot of stuff when we cut the track. So that's why I wanting the smaller tires so I would have better handling in the corners and stuff if I'm at higher speeds. If I was wanting to bounce over boulders then yes I could see the taller tires
still fun though.
That's what I did with my Yeti. The stock foams would just let the tires collapse and the RC would be just riding on the rims.Just put some stiff foams in your tires and have fun while you decide if you actually need different parts on it. I run 5.7" hyrax and they work well, but the stock foam in really soft, causing rollovers, and I'm too lazy to replace it
These will balloon too much, and those aluminum wheels might bend on the first impact.
You need to get the 17mm adapter parts from Tekno. I thought you switched all the drivetrain over to 1/8 scale stuff?
This was @chainsaw on the tekno forum. He was using vanquish wheels. He took the sct410.3 and used the truggy chassis, buggy drivetrain components, and whatever else he needed to do to run big a$$ tires.
Sct tires would be too small. If you don’t have the 17mm hexs then you either need the adapter parts from Tekno or you need to use the buggy drivetrain parts, but that means you have to use buggy arms because the sct and buggy are different width I think. Go over to the Tekno forum and study up on the db48 builds. Mine is there, I used the buggy though. Chainsaw used the sct.
those stiff a$$ foams. Start up a build log on how exactly you did your DB so we can help you a little more, you have about 3 different threads about all this stuff and I think we can consolidate it just a bit.
