Typhon Hoons 107 on typhon 3s...

[benbyrc]

Looking for some street tires that can handle a little street bashing, skate park etc. but mainly speed running. Hoons seem like a great option (and look sweet too) just wondering if the 107 diameter ones would work on the 3s Typhon or should I go for the 100?

Originally was going to get some Duratrax Banditos but they seem to not hold up well at higher speeds due to not being belted...

I been running the 107,s on my 6s python and I think the 100,s may have been a better choice. If I did speed runs the grp,s would be best for that. I have some Banditos on my slash and like them.

why do you think the 100's would have been a better choice? just curious.

Because I think the 107s are to big and I'm thinking my python would go better with the 100s. I don't have a set of 100s yet so I can't say for sure. Welcome to the forum also.

Hoons 107s on both a 6S and 3S, on the inside.
Banditos MT 2.8 to the left on the 6S and Duratrax Banditos C2 (1.9?) to the right on the 3S.
On the 3S I think I like the Duratrax Banditos C2s better, are more forgiving but both are fun.

Thank you! The banditos look great. Are they able to run at the 3s's top speed on pavement? Just worried as they are not belted and others have said they can't handle over ~60.

I’m not a fan of 107 white hoons. The traction is terrible on a 1/8 buggy. They need more weight to be effective.

I’d go 100 Hoons on a Typhon 3S. White for drifting or gold for traction. Or GRP, powerhobby, and proline have options as well.

However if speed running is truly your goal, then avoid Hoons altogether. Speed runners use GRP.

No personal experience with silver. I've read such bad things about them that I don't ever plan to try them.

I couldn't get 107's to hook up at all on my 3s(6s) typhon. The little hoons do just fine for bashing though. They've also held up to some speed runs (95-100mph)

I just picked up a set of 53/107 2.9 Golds and a set of 42/100 2.9 White's to try out.

The 107 Whites make me smile with the Typhon truggy 6S. Im getting short flat-out runs and as people say, when they get hot and they get better. Was hitting mid 70s out front on short runs but "squirrely moments" from carnage involving a tree, or two. Thought the Golds maybe fun.
My 3S may like the 100's better and lots of you guys seem to like them.

I also picked up a set of dBoots Copperhead2 MT 3.8 (4) for $50 sale. See how the 6S truggy behaves with them.

Ive spent more money on RC Car tires this year than my 1:1 scale vehicles.

So this came today.

Right Reading;
BigWheel - Copperhead2 MT 3.8 - SixPack MT 2.8 - Katar 1.7 - Bandito 1.8 - Bandito MT 2.8 - Hoons 107 - Hoons 100
At top, the Hoons 107 on the rear of the T3S and 100's in the front.

6S has 107 Golds, the 3S 100 Whites.
Look how dry the Golds are. Both have never been used, yet.

The 6S is getting Kraton Arms next week. Little wider.


Look MA, I AM a Bulldozer!!

HA, those 3.8's don't fit on the Typhon 6S. I have Kraton Arms on the way and already have the driveshafts. '
DAMN BIG TIRE!

 

[dure16]

Are those 3.8s going on the tricycle?

I think the Copperheads are too big for it.

The trike has only 140mm x 55mm.

Never ran this but thought it was sic.

 

[morrjr71]

I run Bandito C2 tires on my Typhon 3s. I thought about using Hoons, but I prefer a bit more tread on my street tires.

Any ballooning? Would you say they’re better for traction or for drifting?
