Does the Revo use a 1/2 inch offset? It its a zero offset you can swap tires all day but I know the Losi is a Zero. That would be the only concern.

Why would running a 1/2 inch offset be a concern? Your not racing where their checking width of your truggy..I wouldn't worry about it..

It will defiantly perform differently with the wider stance. Turn wider but be more stable in the bumps.

True..but he did say more bashing style driving so to me it doesn't really mater as much..I would be good with the trade off if I was just bashing..:nod:..improved rough handling and more high speed stability..giving up a small amount in steering..

I agree bashing you would want the extra 1/2" or at least it would not be a big deal.

VZ-B v-spec. I have both a JP-3 and an losi RE-10 pipe. Which should i put in my new Truggy? Or, should i just order a werks B5 and a new pipe? Is that a decent truggy engine? I would prefer to not buy a new engine for a month or 2 so i can put my money toward new tires. Any thoughts?

Sounds like you have some good truggy engines. The werks b5/2013 pipe combo is also extremely good for a truggy. I would consider upgrading your clutch no matter what engine you choose. At the very least, use some harder clutch shoes.

Put the speed + losi RE10 in your truggy and let he rip! OS FTW!:nod:

I wasnt talking about tech. But for interfearance of the suspension, arms, carriers stuff of that nature. Running a 1/2 inch offset wheel on a 2.0 would make it very stable but you would loose some handling/ steering responce.

It doesn't interfere with suspension movement..I had a few sets of 1.0 rims/tires, I tried them just to see..:lol:..for bashing they worked fine..for racing I wouldn't use them..

Hey guys,

We do not have acces to a "proper" track in here (Montreal Canada) and we have to drive quite a while to get to one.
therefore we tend to set up a temp track in various area. However, this is a mix of dirt, stones etc... Never the same, and never nice :D

I am looking for some "alternate" tires for the T 2.

Pro-Line released a 3.8 for the badland and I was wondering if you had a wheel to suggest for this one. My T 2 is of the RTR kind, and mostly stock (hey, with Drake's basic setting I am more than happy, why changing what makes me smile, and win :D


As I tend to bash with my Revo, and it's also 17mm hex, I was wondering if anyone would have a suggestion that would fit both...
For now I have the RPM Revolver, the PL VTR 4"0... but if any suggestion as well as information regarding offset... I think that T 2 is half offset is it right?

Thanks a lot for any answer/suggestions for such a combo.

Cheers!

Can something like RPM Revolver fit on the T 2? Other suggestions?




For the new 3.7 badlands you would NEED the Proline VTR rims. Aka, Losi, or JC will NOT work, If you look close the bead is a VTR or buggy style lip

Look Up. ;)

Do the alluminum shoes eat up where they pivot?
I run the alluminum flywheel and every once in a while after about 20 minutes of running, I will come off a long strait and the shoes will hang up for a second. I have checked for burrs on the shoes and they are good put new springs in, checked/replaced bearings and the only thing I can see wrong is the flywheel get kindof chewed up where the shoes pivot.
I am thinking a steel flywheel will prevent/ remidy this.



Yes the alum flywheel does get gouged by the springs over time, No the Steel does not as its steel on steel Vs Steel on Aluminum.

FYI i run steel in buggy, Alum in truggy :nod:

Personally, I feel with some engines (CLocked B5 ahem) and looser tracks and or newer drivers, the heavy flywheel is the way to go. It provides better mileage, smoother power, and a easier idle. Most drivers could use a little less power too IMHO.

I finally bit the bullet and bought the aluminum split center diff mount. It's a nice piece, and I honestly don't want to run into any carb issues. (And I do know how to set it correctly with the stock mount) Personally, I feel the more I can "assure" doesn't go wrong, the more chance I have of finishing the main, as long as I don't goof up as a driver.

Okay so I got the V2 shock tower and was looking over Drakes standard setup and noticed it stated he is running a 48 tooth spur???? Is this right - I thought it was the 50 tooth?

I like the 48 tooth better than the 50 on all size tracks. If you have enough motor try it. I found it easier to drive not so punchy.

50 is stock, the 48 is Drake's preference.

what size clutchbell do you use with the 48t spur??

Gearing is all dependent on the track itself. His gear was for that particular race. I run stock gearing at my track.
