Metal rims with bead lock and a super soft rubber tire in what ever size you need. Then take the foam out or trim it so you have some give there for more traction.Hello all, I just ordered my first crawler. Axial scx24. What are the must do upgrades for it. Shocks wheel weights?
I've had mine on all 4 wheels, on my Deadbolt, for awhile now with no issues. They work great, and I'm still using stock tires. So, I would definitely recommend brass wheel weights. Plus, a new motor will only cost about $10.I've heard people say that because the motor is so small, wheel weights kill the motor.
I have been doing some stuff where the wheels are pressed up against rocks so that's probably why I thought so.I've had mine on all 4 wheels, on my Deadbolt, for awhile now with no issues.

I have a couple if rugs that I use weights. I just use thick solder and wrap it around amfee times then alittle glue from a glue gun. One of mine is a wpl and at first it was running a 170 I think and it worked just fine.I have been doing some stuff where the wheels are pressed up against rocks so that's probably why I thought so.

Sorry for the typos. My phone is not smart anymore and I'm shure it does not like me.I have a couple if rugs that I use weights.

sometimes I feel like I spend more time fixing what auto correct "corrects" than I do typing the message. The good news is, I am becoming fluent in autocorrect, and understood your message perfectly.Sorry for the typos. My phone is not smart anymore and I'm shure it does not like me.
Awsome thanks. You seem to be one of the few good people out there since that kind of person is rarely heard of anymore.sometimes I feel like I spend more time fixing what auto correct "corrects" than I do typing the message.

Sounds sweet! What tires do you like?Level 1-
Coda hexes, front brass diff cover, brass knuckles, and some treal (or rc4wd) wheels and rc4wd rock locks. Does pretty much every line with some difficulty. Motor & esc are full factory, no major mods. Factory rails, very minor body trimming, ebay skids, and still running factory shocks with rear springs (front shocks running full droop, no springs). Friends are impressed with your driving skills.

Level 2-
Gspeed rails, Barrage motor, steel wheels, brass hexes & knuckles, brass diff covers, maybe a steel skid, some bent plastic links, full droop- no springs on factory shocks (because nothing out there has actually improved performance yet, despite the fanbois' claims), fenderless body, some kustomizing with magnets for mounts, factory rx/tx- keeping it brushed. Pulls lines that amaze you and your friends. Friends start using words like "magic"

Level 3- Taco Truk
Gspeed rails, shapeways motor mount, 2204 outrunner, Furitek esc (literally nothing like it for low speed control. It's life changing), bent links, brass knuckles, hexes, diff covers, aluminum tranny mount/skid, steel wheels, full droop front/sprung rear factory shocks (keeps forward pressure on steep break overs), slingers, ebay printed sliders, lihv batteries from rdq, magnets and hinge for body mounts, emax servo (soon to be a reefs), and some hacking/fabrication to make it all fit and play well together. Friends start using words like "cheating" and "f*ck you". Motor has enough torque to fold chassis in half when you bind it up on the servo horn (hence the name- taco truk). Makes ridiculous lines look easy. Rear wing optional... (it was a joke. It's not there anymore). Truk starts developing a following of its own. People come to Montana from Arizona to see it, (That actually happened...) makes @Doom! And others from another forum smile when they see it.

Next level still in development...
I like all the rc4wd tires except for the wranglers. The rock lox have been awesome for smaller/lighter trucks, and the slingers rule if you can get your center of gravity low enough (they're pretty tall). I just got a set of the injora hyrax clones, but haven't run them enough to form an opinionSounds sweet! What tires do you like?
Yes and no. The steel cover works better on heavier rigs than it does on light rigs. That white truck is pretty light (for now). The aluminum hr skid plates are my favorite. I haven't tried the others yet.Does that skid plate help @Pat_ranch?
