I know the PL Badland is a sweet bash tire So is the Bowtie. You should be able to mount them to the PL LRP rims. It a 3.8 inch rim. Also the stock Losi rims would fit. I believ they are 3.7 inches. You could also use the JC Half-Ups or the AKA wheels. All of them are pretty close in size.
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.

..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.

I just ordered an 8ight 2.0 truggy roller from amain. I already have an 8ight 2.0 buggy and have 2 engines, an os VZ-B speed worlds engine and a standard
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?

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.

..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
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
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.
Who here runs a steel flywheel?
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

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.

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.
