from Axial Racing.

Welcome to the Forum! Here is a link for the top recommended upgrades and a good link on some How-To's. Good luck and have fun building up you truck. Take some pics along the way and post them up as your progress through the build. If you ever have any questions feel free to ask. There are very good people here who will help you out.

Question, does putting on wider tires such as the Pro-Line Big Joe, affect the steering ?

welcome to the hpisf family my friend! glad you found us!! as to your question yes i would imagine it would affect the steering to some degree but alot are running the 40 series tires and love them! i myself have went the other way and am running a bit smaller tire then the stock ones that came on my savage x rtr i through on some dirt bonz, you might not get quite as much speed but wow is it ever torquey now, i cant keep the front down lol

as for the axial bead locks i had a set and liked them for awhile then grew to hate them. The bead was always coming loose. May have been the brand of tire (pro-line) may have just been the wheels them self. My advice with 40series would be buy a good metal gear hi torque steering servo and lower the gearing for more low end torque from the motor(smaller cb and bigger sg) i hope that you have better luck with the axial wheels then i did. I do have to say that they looked great.

 

[razyel]

Ups to late now, allready orderd them, can i glue the bead locks ? or get some other bead locks ?.. i really like these rims...
i also wanna use pro-line tires, i am kinda a noob, please explain what does
"maller cb and bigger sg" mean ?

I have those wheels and like them very much. I have not experienced the "loosening" problem.

That's good to hear, i've done some reading and i will purchase a BUKU pipe, sems to me like they are the best pipes to have, i will need some help with tunning it.
Also, how about some Integy MSR6 Piggyback Shock Blue LST ?
somebody warned me about integy, however these are the only shocks i found for the LST, so.. should i go for it ? or back off and search for something eles, and if so, what shoks ?
Also what do you say to this kinda body (clear) :

XXX Main Racing Skullator Monster Truck Body

 

[Crash]

the body is sweet

 

[razyel]

Damn, i really wanted some big bad LST shocks but i cant find them in any store that ships to Romania... 🙁
