Wheels & tires

[E5B]

If there's a sticky for Gear options I think there should be one for Wheels and tires. Can someone pls post a chart of all wheel and tire sizes? I just need the circumference or diameter of stock Tt5 tires,baja tires,& proline tires. Anyone on here that can help me out? I just need to compare tire sizes.

baja 5b 170,mm


baja 5t 190mm


rampage tt 180mm


rampage mt 220mm


i hope it helps

@grf


Yup, thanks

if you are thinking of big wheels but not mt then i guess the best option is the 5t rear wheels. do not go for front baja wheels if you are bashing. they tent to wear fast and they dig in.

I was thinking about goin up one size from stock Ramp tires. I want the look of offroad tires I just don't like the weight of them. I want it to look aggressive, like 315's on 20inch wheels.

 

[grf]

that effect is a bit difficult.


the combo i am getting next is rear 5t wheels all around.


if you want huge wheels but not the redcat mt ones you can go for the wheels from a 4x4 baja it think it is called kalee (no idea where to find them) or the mcd mt ones (the new ones come with hex and are lighter than redcat but do not know durability)


Sunday there is a guy that will come down for a bash with a 4x4 baja so i will be able to tell more about them.

The next ones I am going to try is Pro-Line Trenchers they are tall but not to wide. I have Pro-line Bow-Tie Rears and Fronts on my Ramp right now. I have not had a chance to try it out yet, only tried with all rears and it hooked up nice.

i am in the same spirit forist.


either that or if money allows 5t rear hostiles on proline rims.

let us know how them trenchers work out forist as in traction on turns....


I love the way they look

 

[forist]

I think Rob said that he has them and that he likes them. It is going to be a lil wile before I can afford to buy some. I will let you know when I do tho.

I wish Rob would chime in and maybe post a video or his goods and bad's about this setup.


I know them suckers can grip corners,digging in and with 4 wheel drive that's gota look cool.

I use the Tranchers at Milestone Raceway on my Baja 5T. They hook up great there.

I have pics of the Kalee wheels/tires in one of my picture albums. Dodginbulls now has them on his Ramp, and they work very well.
