oh man. your gona love them on the mt. so much more responsive. and less lickly to break stuff when cart-wheeling.. might have to adjust the suspension to compinsate for less un-sprung wieght.

I noticed the MT tires are way to heavy/big for this truck especially with a stock motor. My 30.5 ESP is going to put enough strain on this truck let alone the MT tires. I think the Prolines should work out nice.

 

[Lizardking]

What are the dimensions on the MT tires?

 

[IMADMAN]

Did you check Horizon hobbies? They were selling Pairs of the new bowties mounted on desperados for like $70.00

 

[Lizardking]

I checked out the bowties but they seemed to small. The excavators are almost 3.5 inches wide and over 7 inches tall.

 

[Piranha2]

The MT's are 8" x 5"

Does anyone have a scale? We should weigh them?

 

[Piranha2]

Use a see-saw and judge by your own weight

histerical!!!!!


im not allowed to have scales anymore

 

[Lizardking]

Yeah, me neither- I used a scale years ago for other reasons.....LOL

 

[Piranha2]

LMAO.........LMAO.......a-holes, knock it off.....she's sleeping and I'm trying to be quiet!

 

[Lizardking]

I bet all four weigh 10 pounds together?

 

[IMADMAN]

I did a quick see-saw comparison it's probably wrong but it was hovering right around 18oz. for a mounted excavator on desperados using the blue proline foams.

What does the MT weigh?

 

[IMADMAN]

LOL!!!!!!!!!! Don't know if I can find a container big enough to fill w/ water and stay on the board! Will see if I can do it.

mt wet weighs about 37lb, i've weighed the mt tires and they're 2lb 6oz each, hpi paddles were less than half.


the excavators are 7.5 in tall so only a bit less than the mt's...I'm going to try a set on my new tt...i like the MT tires for general rough terrain bashing cos they're so big and ride over everything...yep they strain parts but it's worth it

LOL!!!!!!!!!! I just did another see-saw test w/ the MT's using a 2 liter cock bottle, it hoovered at between 44oz-46oz. i'm surprised it came out pretty damn close.

 

[Lizardking]

that's over 11 pounds...damn

The 1/5 Bow-Tie tires look pretty mean also.
