Hey Vtec have you broke anything yet with that big block? yesterday i killed my dirt bonz and snapped a cup joint. too much torque I'm running a diablo .28 still running a little rich. now I'm looking at upgrading to bigger wheels and tires most likely from a savage. do you guys think its possible i would need to upgrade hex hubs as well. what you think?

 

[VtecScott]

well as yet nothing has broken,( touch wood ) lol, i think it a sweet idea about upgrading the wheels, but tbh i wouldnt know if they would fit, i dont really know about you model and make. but I'm sure you can get upgraded cup joints, so you dont break any again,
sorri i couldnt be of more help

sorry i didnt explain myself, i have an mt2 ss with just the shocks and the back wheels upgraded plus the engine upgrade. yeah the wheels are my bigger concern right now and i didnt snapped a cup joint sorry for the wrong info i snapped a UV AXLE. i gunned it then i heard a snap and just seen the tire fly off. as i was saying the tires just need to be wider and slightly bigger.

well on my truck i have a 2.2inch wide tire that stands 5inchs, give u an extra .5 inch ground clearance, i love it, has so much grip,

i really think these tires would benifit you, they did me ,

bmagicson, the wing is acually from a hpi hellfire, just modified onto the shock tower, looks great overall, n had a bit more control when flyin through the air !! hehe

thanks for the link. i was reading around taking measurements and realized that the 1/8 scale wheels will rub against the tuned pipe also i will have to move up the shocks to make the wheels fit... so I'm just going to go with the MOAB tires. Vtec hows the durability on these tires?

 

[VtecScott]

very, they have a long lasting compoud, very gripy i find it hard to do donuts now lol,but yer they are very durable mate, well worth the money, recommend to any one!
