Felony Felony running 1:5 grp tires all around😉

Obviously fixed the diffs so both match but a little heat and concentration gave me an even wider fender than they come with already, no rubbing on the body had to trim a tiny bit off in a few spots, also need to lower the body back down

I’m investigating the possibility of running those on a build I’m doing. The taller diameter would provide a distinct advantage in speed running as the RPM’s at speed would be significantly lower than a 100mm tire, minimizing the tendency to come apart at speed.
It will all come down to whether I can get the chassis low enough with them without totally destroying the steering geometry.

Problem with them is their weight and the gyroscopic issues associated, plus the amount of surface area . I’ll have to weigh them but they’re significantly heavier, and you’ll want a heavy car to even attempt getting good grip out of them

All I read is blah techincal blah logic blah. All my brain hears is BIG TIRES COOL

I tried them in the rear with regular grp's in the front of a felony and the outcome was hilarious I have them on a talion and mojave right now and they're fun af! Especially on the mojave.

Are they 24mm hex or the square hub? How did you convert?

I have wanted to try some of these but the price + the cost of the adapters always makes me empty my cart.

..... removed bad links bit .......

@Dan B. I am not sure which are needed but I assume that @Moirae got them from JBI/EVS:

these are what you need to get 1/5th scale grp's onto arrma 6s rigs.

Not sure how you’re getting grip other than the fact it’s a Mojave with the soft suspension and a good bit of travel, I also have the s5 compound which might be my problem

Tbh the grip is not that great and I don't remember what compound I have on their but I think it's the hardest. I know I have a softer compound on my talion and it's definitely noticeable. I also am pretty sure I'm not using stock mojave springs. I have so many rigs that I don't remember details anymore. Really should take better notes.

Definitely softer than what the infraction/felony runs Forsure tho, im thinking about possibly weighing the felony down considerably just to see if it aids or hinders traction because im my mind there’s a fine line between too light too grip and too heavy to get moving

Do you need special nuts for deez? And yes that is a joke, but also a serious question.
