Big Rock BRCC tires

[atw1974]

I am new to the Arrma Forum, but I had the same experience with flipping too. I couldn’t drop the coin for the HR extenders and Badlands tires at this time, so I went with the Speedtreads Vindicators. These tires are wider and just a tad shorter, and a lot less costly. I did do a run out in the cul de sac and there was a big difference. Big Rock CC was much more stable, didn’t wheelie as much, but it didn’t flip or get up on three wheels near as much. This is a option I think for guys who need a lower $$$ option. I think these tires look great on the truck too. I will try them out on the field and some jumps later this week.

I will be doing some of the other options everyone has mentioned but I had try the lower cost option first: these tires gave the BRCC a wider stance and slightly lower center of gravity. I am happy so far, with this cheaper fix.

How are they in the dirt?

Check out Duratrax Hatchets there about 24$ a pair very reasonable pricing.

They were fine in my front yard! I am going to test them some more at the football field of the school I teach at. But they definitely added some width without having to spend money on the hub extenders.

I looked at those too but I think they were out of stock. These were $25 a pair and RC planet had a 20% off coupon through Google Express. Ordered on a Thursday and were at my mailbox on Saturday.

Horizon Hobby has the Duratrax 14mm Hatchets on backorder. I looked at those and few other pairs of Duratrax but the MT 14mm were all on backorder.

My bad I run 12mm hexes on my brcc more options.

I was trying to keep my costs down for the time being. This summer I will do some more upgrades, but BRCC is a beast. I was looking at the Typhon 3s, but it was also on backorder and our Hobbytown (which is huge) had the BRCC in stock. All the Traxxas stuff seems to break too easy.

I started a RC club at our school, so we have a dozen kids who bring their RC’s in on Fridays. We do all kinds of things but a lot of bashing. I knew I needed something tough to hang with these kids, and something that could handle a little of everything! And of course something fast out of the box.

Update on Vindicators: Tires did really well on the grass, out on our school's football field, HOWEVER I was able to add a lot more speed than I had done in the cul de sac and the BRCC still was flipping! So, these tires though slightly shorter and much wider are not wide enough! This will not be the solution! I will just need to wait to add the HR hub extenders in a few months. One good thing about these tires they do have 12mm hex adapters so if I did the extenders with the 12mm hex these tires can run with those.
