hexes are stock 48.3

will the regular badlands fit that are regular size 3.8 and not the MX monster tires without changing hubs?
It looks like those hexes u listed are only 2 mm wider?
don't want to order wrong tire/wheel combo
thanks in advance

I might be wrong on the 1/2 offset Proline 3.8's. I know stock MT4's rub the arm, but they don't have the same offset. I run the 2mm hexes, & have never tried the stock hexes.

More rear toe, shorter wheelbase, more anti squat, higher rear roll center, more front toe out.

Thanks everyone for the Input, and will probably run a 1900KV should we get a new chassis. Be nice to see the comparison to the MBX7TR Eco. This will be the first new Truggy for my son, I cant pass on the price.

Mopar was right.
I just recvd some street tires that rubbed on the front arms. easy to dremmel wheels. Hexes on wheels were too wide for the stock hexes on the rear of the truck and hit the hubs. Not Proline though. Ordered 2mm wider hexes and new PL MX wheel/tire combos.
Thanks for the correct info.

I have an et48.1 & a EB48.3. I never tried the stock ET48.1 hexes, but the EB48.3 stock hexes are too thin, I believe this is what you're referring too. I was also thinking the wheel may contact the arm at full lock, w/stock hexes.

Yes, the 2mm hexes will work, I've run Blockade 3.8's w/no issues.

As far as what to do first, just start with whatever is easiest for you to do. All of the changes I mentioned are fairly simple and won't take long to change, five minutes or less for each one.

Default Servo Link

Hey guys,

I followed the manual for the steering link that states to have a 1mm gap. Using a Hitec 7950 and spektrum dx6r and close to center as possible, i have to use lots of subtrim (150 points) . Is this normal? Or should i lengthen the link( tried and it gots a 5mm gap? Also, when i set my endpoints is like a 10% difference and one side with less doesnt seem to turn as well as the other. Any help will be appreciated.
