I'd guess you'd get a decent amount of life out of them. They are pretty thick. I don't expect the same for my infracton running that combo though hahahaha. I'd just guess with off road tires on road you'd end up with bald tires with a quickness.@The_Otherside Wow. Just stunned at how the truck shrugs off anything you throw at it. Definitely harder then I plan to bash haha. I think it's a good call on just running a bigger pinion and dialling the power back. I'll probably get a 30-32 tooth. 1650kv is a little hot for 8s, and redlining at 100% full tilt. So it should be happy with 8s volts, but lower power output right?
@Jerold Yeah I've read a lot about people preaching their method, but they all seem pretty centered around the tape then goo, so that's what I went with. The flex seal spin was more for the factory finish look with the tape and goo underneath. I'll make sure to snag a seal spreader from work tonight too, good call on that one.
@calebgilmore I hear a lot of people using grp tires, and the 1/5 for the Mojave a bit too. But are they more for speed running? Or do you just need them for general street bashing on a larger scale with more power? Those 1/8s would look a little small haha. How long is the wear on them? I guess I could bite the bullet on a few pairs if they last longer then a couple sessions. My slash was 2wd so it wasn't so bad to just need rear tires most of the time.
I got my shocks rebuilt with the 1.4 pistons and 90wt on all four, as well as the stiffest springs arrma sells for the Mojave specifically and boots for the shafts. Took about half the 2oz bottle to do all four. Still need to install the stiffer sway bars, but I didn't really notice much difference in spring rate after reinstalling the shocks. How hard does your guy's chassis slap the ground when you land? I couldn't go over about 2 feet without slapping but I feel that's asking too much of the chassis, and even the parts holding the high dollar pieces, watching these videos jump 15-20 feet up. How far can you tune suspension to drive well but still take mild (3-5 foot high) running jumps?View attachment 202818
