Outcast Anyone ever try 2.8 wheels?

[rcdabbler]

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried mounting something like Pro-Line Super Swamper 2.8’s on F11(17mm version) rims on their Outcast. I sold my unbuilt Kraton V2 roller recently, and am now considering an Outcast roller, and I have some unused PL Swamper 2.8’s that could be cool. Wouldn’t it keep the center of gravity down?

Dude, bigger is better. Lol

This is the first time I see some one ask about a smaller tires size
If you did it post pictures here

Some guy on Facebook posted a pic of his Kraton with 2.8 Badlands and it looked pretty dumb.

 

[beefy nugz]

Yeah that looks terrible!

LOL I wonder how much worse it would look if it was regular Badlands instead of the MX28s. At least the MX28s are about 5/8" wider than the regular 2.8 Badlands.

Yeah, that does look pathetic. I sized up my 2.8 Swampers next to my Senton (same wheelbase as Outcast), and they weren't much larger than the Senton stock wheels, so I figure it would probably look silly. Probably be better off trying to get them to fit on a Senton, but they're a bit wide. I think someone else on this forum did that, a year or so ago. It's not all about using those tires, but I was simply wondering if I had an off-road option for an Outcast build, on-hand, since I would first be using the SRC Road Crusher's, as I run around on the streets more than off-road.

I will be trying out my pro line 2.8" prime street tires on mine soon just to see how it handles on the road with racing slicks. I also have 2.8" badlands mx28 and trenchers. I'm sure it will look silly but I bet the street handling will be vastly improved with a lower center of gravity.

Can you put up some photos of your Outcast with those wheels on?

 

[sevin7]

I will soon, on vacation now

Below is the Notorious with 2.8" proline prime tires. It looks ridiculous. It is nearly impossible to make it traction roll with such small tires, but it handles so well with 3.8" tires that I would never consider using 2.8" tires even for street runs.

It looks like it's just sitting there with 4 bare rims waiting on the tyre fitter coming along.

Reminds me of putting SC tires on my Granite. Looks silly, but handles great...

 

[Danchamp]

My son and I run senton tires on our granites ,, its freakin awesome..

I’ve been running the 4s outcast tires on mine and they are my favorite. Only slightly smaller diameter, same width but much lighter. Trucks throttle response is better, turns much easier and sharper, air control less twitchy and doesn’t end up on the roof nearly as much.

People only do this to drive it somewhere cause their normal tires are probably bigger the 44" so its illegal. Drive to the show and then switch the tires.
