New 2.2s For My AX10

[HPI-Killer]

Just recieved slowngreens 2.2 pitbulls & man they are gummy, I noticed a smell of food in the box. Come to find out there was a cup o noodles lid in the box, must be a bonus lol thanks sng.

My question now is I'm going to attemp to cut slabs of foam from 5/8" sheets for inserts because all I have is p-line hammer foams. I have 2 softness's of foams, how wide should them & how fat do they need to be? I have no funds due to picking up a new scaler from Smaxxin. Any ideas?

Thanks

Thats where that cup o noodles lid went

Just start off buy cutting a strip about as wide as the top of the tire, myabe just a smidge wider, then wrap it around your foams from your old tires. 5/8's all the way around should be good. Can superglue them together too.

LOL there was another forum I used to be on where it was a rolling joke, anytime a member sold something, there would be random stuff in the box with it.

So did you go get your self a Cup O Noodles, LOL!!!! When you can I would pick up a couple pairs of Panther F400 foams they run about 6-8 bucks a pair, but from what I have heard the Pit Bull tires work the best with there own foams, here is links to both.

Could put a washer between your hex and your wheel, it would push it out a little bit. Or not worry about it too much.

We need a picture update!!! and you could also narrow your wheels from the inside to get more clearance if they are the stock plastic Axial ones.

Okay heres my picture update, no pictures staged, if I snapped the pic, I crawled to the spot, reason why I say is alot of what people can do with these can apear to be staged but arent, my family has asked me numerous times if I put it like that in the pic, nope, I crawled to it
Enjoy!

PS- I hate the snow & mud.....

I think those are the Proline 8 Shooter wheels, Not sure if the could be narrowed or not, but the new tires are a great improvment and look good!!!!

Slow is good about the "extras", I found 4 in a radio and servo saver I bought from him. Still have the extras too! If I could just get this deal worked out to finish mine I could use the extras.
