Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / March 2006Converting buggy to a truggy
Hi there People: Looking for information on 23mm. hubs. I'm wanting to convert my old Thunder Tiger Mirage Vspec into a truggy. Seems like the people that sell parts can't tell me much, I'm wondering if I have to change the carriers front and back as well. Lightnen Not to discourage you, but... Why do you need 23mm for a Truggy..when there are as many if not more choices available for the 17mm it already has? > Hi there People: > Looking for information on 23mm. hubs.

Mt thoughts exactly............

Maybe I need to dig deeper into this.. Lightnen Try a search on eBay for "17mm tires" http://tinyurl.com/kdbl7 > Well I'm only going by what my LHS told me for the rims.

Of which the choice of 17mm is very limited.  SignatureDan A few off the top of my head... Ofna Dish (Blazer) Full Offset Ofna 3 Spoke MT Splits (Dominator) Full Offset Imex Romulin Imex Pluto Choose your MT tire!..... Also... Ofna Titan (jumbo/extra wide) XTM Mammoth (40 series -These would probably scrub the chassis on a V-Spec) HPI Nubz (Stadium style) HPI Savage X...... > > Try a search on eBay for "17mm tires" > > http://tinyurl.com/kdbl7 > > They're mostly RallyX though, he needs truck tyres and wheels!

I can vouch personally for the IMEX Romulin wheels. I have them in the brushed chrome with HPI Dirt Bonz installed on my Mayhem ST truggy. 0.25" offset which makes them the perfect truggy wheel. Doc Thanks there M78Ultra: This should help for the Tier/wheel probs here.. Lightnen No Problem. Just remember with MT or oversized wheels and tires... Your turning radius will be much wider. You will need a high torque steering servo. Make sure they don't scrub. You may need/want to change your gear ratios (clutch bell/spur gear)... > Thanks there M78Ultra: > > This should help for the Tier/wheel probs here.. > > Lightnen |
