None of the current truggies use off-set wheels.

0 and standard are generally the same.

1/2 is what was used on the first Losi and on the jammin's.

Nice!

Definitely do not get 1/2 offset wheels, your truck will end up way too wide. My cousin got a pair of 1/2 offset wheels for his Tamiya 801XT and the truck ended up like 18.5 inches wide, significantly wider than his Savage XL. He switched to 0 offset wheels before ever driving the truck.

You didn't destroy the new one already, did ya?

That explains one of the sets of wheels I got in that box. They are brand new spoke wheels. I slipped some tires on them and mounted them to the truggy and was like, So they came off immediately. I figured that they were for maybe a buggy to run in the truggy class or something like that.

I'd love to get 1 of these but truggy racing has pretty much died in SoCal...might have to get 1 just to have since I like it so much!

Ok I have another question guys. Since the wheels needed are zero offset I can't buy premounted badlands for bashing. But since truggy wheels are 4' can badland tires fit on them?? Aren't badlands for 3.8' wheels? Some help would be appreciated, thanks as always.

Proline says the 3.8 Badlands can be stretched onto the 4.0 VTR rims.

Yep, Badlands fit perfect on VTR rims.

Rooooost!

They are in transit and should be available soon (early next week).

Truggy was pretty dead around here, but the ET48 has defiantly sparked interest again. There's talks of enough for a class at the local track for this weekend!

I destroyed the original one. Yours I coated the whole underside in a thin layer of shoe goo. That's will keep that one around longer.

excellent. Gonna send a couple off to the painter....one is gonna look like a 2x4 and the other a Praying Mantis.

Thats great news, thanks guys! Just one more favor, could someone post a link to a proper tire mounting video? (which is done perfectly in order to avoid problems such as balooning) because I only know how to basic glue tires on wheels. I have no idea what people do in order to avoid balooning etc. I feel I shall be set after this one last piece of the puzzle. Thanks guys appreciate the responses.

If you have the need for special anti-ballooning mathers you are uselessly over powered.

Gluing technique has nothing to do with balooning. If you are balooning tires that badly you need to turn the power down. A lot.

If racing, I would agree. If bashing or speed runs, not so much.
I've seen duct tape used on the inside to help hold it, but eventually it gives. On hard and large knob tires I've seen fishing line used on the outside between the knobs, but that just seems like a recipe for disaster to me. None of those are considered legal for racing last time people I know were asking, but generally the best place to ask about stopping ballooning will probably be speed run forums.
