New H10 Optic

[desmobob]

The new RTR includes 2.2" wheels and 4.9" tires, according to Vanquish's specs. That .15" of extra tire diameter would result in a whopping .075" increase in ground clearance; less than a tenth of an inch.

I have a feeling these published specifications were inaccurate. I was just looking at the H10 Optic RTR parts list on Amain and the Toyo Open Country R/T Pro tires are listed as 5.25" diameter. That makes a lot more sense as far as increasing ground clearance.

Are the tires on your new Optic 5.25"?

They are not. Sidewall says 4.9 inches.
I have an extra set of 2.2 with 5.25" tires I've installed

Very interesting. I think they are leaning more into the scale look on this, and quite a few of the trail buggies run some pretty large wheel sizes.

I think they should have done a 2.2 from the beginning.

Well after running this for several days now, I am incredibly impressed with this rig. I don't think I need 4ws and really not sure I need portals. With the 5.4" tires and added weight and stance in the wheels, it goes pretty much any line I choose. Thinking I'm just going to add a little more weight and get some softer foams or inserts.

If anyone has leads on some 2.2 x 2" wide by about 5.3" diameter inserts or can print some please share.

And now I want portals and 4ws again

With the 2.2's and the portals, the H10 really shines in technical terrain.

After running more terrain I'm definitely going to portals, really leaning towards 4ws too.
