Typhon 2.8badlands

[Kingleo619]

There are several YouTube videos but here is a pic. I also have a set that I gorilla taped the inside before I mounted them, but i prefer the fish line.

My badlands are premounted, I’m going to look how to unmount them. Did your tires come with foam inserts

Yes, mine had foam inserts. I use the heat gun method to unmount the tires from the rims. Also, of you use gorilla tape be sure everything is done perfectly even. If too much tape (weight) is on one side of the tire it will wobble. In other words don't overlap the gorilla tape.

Did you use extenders to run the 2.8’s? I think 3.8’s would look funny on a Typhon.

I am installing kraton axles, hubs and hexes, That will extend them far enough to clear

Why do you think they would look funny?

Do they look funny? I use extensions. Even when I switch back to standard buggy tires I leave the extensions on.

I understand it's no longer a Typhon or buggy for that matter. It's fun mods only.
I've kept it buggy as the standard and I'm fine with it. I understand that just because we can doesn't mean we should.

I much prefer it on the street because I have too many dirt runners. But the Typhon can dirt too and keep me happy.

Yes. To me it does. I think those tires are way too big. Can the chassis even touch the ground in full compression?

Hell if I know. I only ran it for about 5 minutes and went back to normal.

Winder if a hair dryer gives off enough heat ?

You are going to damage that nice body.

I did damage body but it was my bashing one little crack I’m done till I get my extension

It is the same chassis as an outcast. Just a smaller body so it looks different.

Yeah that and the arm are waaaaaaay shorter on a Typhon. And smaller shock towers and shocks.

I'm going to give it a try and see how I like it. I hear the Typhon is an animal Truggified

Really fun! I added some extensions so I can change on a whim but mostly keep it a buggy now days. I haven't strapped my 2.8 badlands yet so I'm scared to ruin em on my Typhon with speed pinion.

I would be too worried about the heat to bring the pinion up. Especially with Summer closing in here in Arizona. If I don't like it, it is easy enough to put back.
