I agree very very much
Those are sweet!!! I like the colored ringsZD Racing DBX07 wheels (165x63mm). A bit out of scale for my 1/8 buggy (left stock, right with those 1/7 wheels), but wanted to try them.

You probably could, I can post a picture later if no one else does before, there are spots that I was considering trimming out but ultimately I did otherwise. But it might not be that efficient unless you made a scoop or something to really push it in
Whoa
This looks like the post that buys me the buggy, but let’s not bury the lead. The pro-tip take home looks like Kevlar cords to me. Is this a thing?? What’s the lifespan of a set? Will they work on a torque-y 8S truck?
Do it! It is a really fun truck. Very smooth. The kevlar survives very good in my experience! I have never tried it on the 8s trucks simply because I wanted the tires to expand on my OC8s. But I have run tires on my typhon doing 70+ and it held (GPS was used so that is not me estimating)Whoa
Cheers, DB
Excellent! Just pulled the trigger on the last white Fireteam on Amazon
I prefer 1/6 and larger trucks, but it will be an awesome compliment to my stock Talion. Funny how for all the time I spend smashing upgrading repairing my K8S and 8S’d Mohave, the Talion is always the one coming home in one piece and running. And not for lack of action! Those lower weights at the scale are really forgiving in everyday bashing
Haha nice nice!! Have to say the 6s backflips made it much better than stock. And believe it or not my OC8S is extremely reliable so far. Bent front shafts but nothing a little hammer love can't solve. I get the Kevlar on amazon. 200 pound cordExcellent! Just pulled the trigger on the last white Fireteam on Amazon
Where do you source your Kevlar cord to wrap the tires? Can’t wait to try this on my existing rigs, if anything just for performance comparison.
Last Q, what did you use for mesh?
The link is in this thread
That looks really cool actually, I've always been a fan of being able to see the electronics through clear windows on bodies but this takes it to the next level
Looks great. I did the same to mine. Additionally I converted mine to 8s. It now weighs 16lb with a 6s battery but no problem.
Wow!
The side guards I purchased on eBay. They are okay but they didn’t structure it properly. You’d have to see them for yourself. I used them anyway because I liked their idea. I drilled some holes in them and made them work.
I completely agree with you on the backflip lps...It's my go to wheel. Have them on my Notorious and Kraton and getting another set for my TC Punisher! On a side note I put the bigger notorious backflips on my punisher and might be perfect for a 6s 1/8th truggy. I actually just ordered one of these tonight for the black Friday sale and I might swap a set on them on and see how it looks and works. I'm also not a fan at all of these tires. The sidewall just looks hideous but that's all subjective of course. I was one of the first to put the LPs on my 6s kraton before everyone was running them and actually like to take credit and pride that I had told Rich Duperbash how well they performed although I'm sure he would've tried them anyway but I like to think it was me who put him onto them lol. The wheels and soldiers always turned me off to this truck but that was at $749 and not $399

A couple of weeks ago, I got to see one run and it was only on 4s. It was awesome. Jumps like a champ and almost always lands on it's wheels because of the roll cage. I'm tempted to get one, but my addiction has been reigned in and as long as I stay out of the lhs, I should be able to get through these bf sale days without picking one up. Excuse me while I tighten the handcuffs that are keeping me locked in my basement.I completely agree with you on the backflip lps...It's my go to wheel.

Yup I agree! I watched my buddy Jason Perrin rcs video on the fireteam and he put a bunch of different wheels on it and I'm definitely gonna go with the LPs or the normal backflips or even the Copperhead 2's look good on it and have a spare new set on hand. Maybe I'll post some pics here of the different setups and show you how it looks but I agree the stock wheels have got to go!
Hey buddy I really like what you did and sharing it to help guys like me looking for ways to get rid of the toy soldiers so really appreciate it! Quick question, did you notice that alot more dirt and dust got into your chassis? That's my one worry as i have ocd about trying to keep my rcs clean so if you think the fiquers/panel kept alot of the dirt and dust out I might just leave it be and remove the guns. Any advice?
