Hey guys,

Stumbled upon this link a while ago and I don't see it posted anywhere. Very very informative though.

I've always wanted to know those facts. Great information. Especially when one is trying to shave as much weight as possible.

thanks 08 that is very helpful. i am looking into getting new tires and that halps alot.

i have the big joe tires on proline wheels but the problem is those 40 series big joe tires are so big and bulky they always detatch from the wheels eventhough i used a lot of superglue. as a result in the winter snow goes in the tires and turns into water and makes the truck much heavier....

does anyone have a solution for this problem????

Use CA glue and they won't come off unless you bake in the oven or boil them in water. And before you put on the glue take some sand paper and sand the chrome off of where you will be putting the glue on so it will hold better.

Yea, what Sam said plus get the black stuff. i2000 something like that. It has rubber in the glue, makes a very durable bond.

Not sure if it helps since this post was in 08 but those tiny screws are because they are beadlock rims. When you have the screws tight it holdes the bead of the tire in between the wheel and the plastic ring. Sorry I know I am bad at explaining things but thats the just of it

Sorry to bring this thread back just to ask such a shallow question- But which rim/tire combo is the MOST REALISTIC looking Monster Truck Rims/tires? I want the clod-busters because I believe those by FAR are the best ones I've seen, but does anyone know of anything close??? Thanks guys!

 

[MikeK1981]

Jumbo kongs? lol. Gotta have the power/gearing to turn them though.

 

[NitroMonster]

No- I think they're too big for the scale of the truck.

These are Clods I believe. I want somthing like this... I've had the IMEX Chevrons before, but I don't think they pulled the look off as well as these do. Can you see the difference?

 

[xll-SavageX-llx]

Not sure for tires but the HPI Q6 racing wheels are from a scale aftermarket wheel. Saw them the other day on a chevy Silverado :rock1:

The link didn't work when I tried it, would like to see it.

 

[Doginjeep]

Proline Mashers are pretty close. I have them mounted on Axial beadlocks

The link seems to work but there is nothing on the page.

 

[robn69]
