It is an old truck, but the aftermarket chassis choices are numerous. I am a massive fan of TTR, these trucks fit the same body as a 3908L extended emaxx to give you an idea. Tonight when I get home from work, I will upload a pic of my emaxx and TTR Tremor with the same body mounted to give you an idea of size...

Huge shout out to EZ Customs​ for these awesome bodys! Cant wait to run these bad boys at the 2015 HVMTC.IL-High Voltage Monster Truck Challege​ Four Link Nationals in only a few weeks time at the world famous Samson Monster Truck shop! Always grew up loving the Inferno monster truck. The Kasey Kahne themed truck runs on Cube chassis #5, thus why the scheme had to be based around a #5 Really stoked on how these all turned out!

a lot of people, myself included, have put brushless in a clod...need to upgrade some things, but the gearboxes can handle it...

the kyosho mad force kruiser is similar in size to your rival, and is solid axle. that one was designed for lots of power...

So here is my TTR Tremor with a stock 3908L emaxx body on it for comparison:

any tips to put a clodbuster/proline destroyer tire on a 17mm hex ? what 2.6 inch rim would do the job ?

DarkSammy 08-20-2015 02:58 AM

I have seen people mount the destroyer onto an IMEX Diamond Jumbomaxx Rim Im pretty sure mate. Will see if I can find the thread on RCMT

DarkSammy 08-20-2015 03:21 AM

Here you go Werner, this is a comparison thread for the Proline Destroyer compared to most other tyres of similar size:

hi! thanks for the links, many infos in this thread. the rim I need is the OFNA Monster Pirate rims. I previously thought that those rims had a too big Bead Diameter (2.9")

now the question is, do the destroyer tires balloon ??

DarkSammy 08-20-2015 11:58 PM

I have owned both the IMEX Diamond Jumbomaxx rims and the OFNA Pirate Rims, and by the eye, they look to me to be exactly the same. The Destroyer Rims will definitely balloon, I have heard they are very soft compound and would be great CLOD tyres for indoor racing... Hope this helps

ok thanks, actually, I have a special request: I don't want a sticky tire ! I like the oldschool tires with a hard rubber. i like to bash on grass/concrete and enjoy how my thunder tiger EK4 tires drift ! it's just that the rims may break one day and I'm searching for a bit wider tire.
do you know the ofna titan tires ? do those have the hard oldschool compound ?

DarkSammy 08-21-2015 09:42 PM

Yep the Titan or the Monster Pirate Tyres are a much harder rubber compound, so will run fine out doors, BUT they are heavy and hard on driveline. My old Dominator ran 8mm cvd's on all 4 and I still used to chew bones with them. My favourite wider tyres of all time, yet still heavy are the IMEX Jumbomaxx sized Chevrons and Swamp Dawgs. They are hard to get these days tho which is a shame.

IMEX Jumbomaxx Chevrons:

I saw that news on RCMT! Do you have any details a to when it will be available? Numbers etc? I have a Tremor also, and would love to add a Tremor Pro to the fleet if i could.

monsterjamman24 09-02-2015 04:21 PM

I am not affiliated or anything with TTR.... So anything I'd say would be a mere guess/ total estimate on my part which wouldn't be fair for you.
