What gear ratio did you end up with? I'm thinking about doing this with mine. I like running a 3S but my motor likes to overheat. Looking into a Mamba X setup and 2200mkv motor.

Will those bigger tired burn up the motor/and servo?

A-arms

I got Rustler and bought Slash (2wheel drive) later just to have one shortcourse truck - loving it how the wide body with wheels hidden under moves when it turns and it jumps nicely as well. Two different trucks and both good to have :)

Thank you. :)

Jason Perrin yeah love the videos I’ve been watching them

The rustler is an amazing ride.

@@talonvaughn6175 same here... it is so wild on 3s that it really tests a good driver - and it does this job also because the stock tires which are great for fast and stable drifting.. Im trying these Prolines now for jumps and have to say guys - Rustler looks so much better with them (which I couldnt even think before) - it is right on the edge of the size ratio (wheels / body) - actually perfect. Hopefully Im not gonna overheat motor 🙂

But those are aftermarket!

@@fcsthememe7987 thanks for clarifying... im sure no one knew what he meant. Thank you..

Which wheel do your 2.8's have? I want 2.8's with 17mm hex's.

I have 2.8 mx badlands 17mm hex. Direct fit for a 3s typhon. You can literally do flips for days because the tires balloon. Just make sure u vent them

@@joshdunbar9721 Thanks. The Prolines in 2.8 that come with a 17mm hex seem to be discontinued and a bit hard to find. They had F11 rims and 17mm hex. Of course you can buy the 2.8 with 12mm hex buy 17mm hex separately but cost goes up. I actually want them for my Arrma Typhon.

Yea its a shame, get us all hyped then end the vid lol

No they come with 12mm hex adapters. Only a few had 17mm hex but they are discontinuing those.

These are not.

If they're anything like the trenchers, there will be almost zero ballooning

exactly.. why to speed run once I know my trucks limit. Its just an information and the real fun begins when you start driving it .-)

Was it cold?

The day I mean

How did they tear the rustler apart?

@@KaizerTest the size and weight of the tires just caused lots of issues. At first the rustler seemed almost bulletproof until I put them on. I immediately started breaking axles front and rear. Blew out shock caps and broke steering components and over heated. This was all under the same driving conditions I was driving on before installing the tires. I ended up getting big bore shocks and tekno drive shafts and still bent a drive shaft and broke a cup. Iv since sold the tires on Craigslist and had zero issues on my stock tires but I miss the grip of the bigger tires.

@@ajbirtch7106 Yeah I hear you. I have Slash 4x4 that I had set up with mod1 gears as a speed run car. I managed to get it to 93mph but built a low CG slash and converted my original one back to dirt. BUT I kept it as 6s with mod1 gears. I broke all my axles so put steel one in the rear. Then I put 2.8 Trenchers on and kept breaking front driveshafts almost immediately. Mind you I am beating it silly by jumping it...lol. I will have the vid up in a few days. I finally pulled my Arrma Typhon out to jump it off the same ramp and let me tell you that thing jumps far and flys so straight. I will be starting to drive my Arrma's more now. The Traxxas need too much to make them tough to really bash that might as well get a 6s Arrma from the beginning. I still have a Slash 4x4 dedicated and modded to do speed runs. So far it's up to 105mph but I'm really enjoying the bashing now but it gets very expensive as I am breaking parts every time I go out...lol.

Aj Birtch That’s why you upgrade so you don’t break parts. I upgraded to Traxxas CVD GTR shocks upgraded servo and haven’t had any issues

Just handling no speed

They will most definitely be harder on everything they are bigger and very heavy compared to stock. The car feels very different but it's fun. The weight and traction make it awesome for offroad and it wants to wheelie and flip a lot. I doubt stock axles will last a more than a couple of packs on 3s.

solving the same issue now - I just put them on but didnt change pinion so far.. will it try on 2s first so motor will not get overheated.. I will appreciate any suggestions - thank you. To be honest Im a bit scared to run it of 3s as the tires are much heavier and it would propably break the plastic shafts etc... lets see

Alex Ellis right ! That’s what I want to know also.

Me too!

Stock gearing. And I ran both 2s and 3s.

Try a lower tooth pinion

Owen Bernard I lowered the pinion still did it... but then I just threw a integy fan on there and it stays cool

@@owenbernard8397 how much time do u run your car before u notice it over heats ?

@@KusshLover323 mine doesn't overheat

@@owenbernard8397 how do i get my rustler 4x4 vxl to go 65 mph without over heating ?

what gearing combo would you suggest going to these tires ?

Yep

@@JasonPerrinRCVlogs cool thanks I've lowered my stampede and now it handles great figured these tires would make it look mean

2wd is like that I believe.
