Larger buggy tires?

[dure16]

The UDR tires have splined hubs, I don't think they work on standard hexes.

A quick snip with these fixes that problem.

They can be trimmed off the wheel. The TRX UDR wheels also have the fake lug nuts on the front side that need to be removed to use a 12mm wheel nut(17mm wrench size).
It appears the Injora branded copy of the UDR wheels are not splined so should bolt right on.

Nice, didnt know if they could be modified before, that opens up some options.

These are a very nice looking knockoff of the proline hyrax. Good find
I'd like to hear how they perform after you've had a chance to flog them

If you go with UDR tires check out Jconcepts.

These look interesting..I'm always looking for mojave alternatives myself. I like the fortress 6s,they're tough as nails but options are always good Thanks for sharing

I've spent tons of time searching for options, not much to choose from without getting something wider also. The only taller option I've seen that isn't wider have been SCT tires for the Mojave. There are a few belted options that are close but a little wider like the belted Badlands which are 5 inches tall and 2.1 inches wide, so closer to buggy tire width than MT width. If you are running a 12mm hex you could look at the Duratrax belted stadium truck tires which are similar size to the Badlands. Method RC has a belted tire that is 5.5 inches tall and 2.25 inches wide: https://methodrc.net/products/terra...ires-on-switch-17mm-hex-wheels-2pcs-not-glued

Outside of this everything else I have found has been MT width.

I sure love those methodrc tires on my talion, fav tires by far. Never tried them on my typhon but I've run stock mojave tires on a typhon and it was nice imo.

Hope it helps someone! personally I love mojave tires on Typhon but mine is truggified with the kraton hubs axles etc

These are probably too big but I tried them on my typhon 3s and we’re a bit too big, and did not come glued and I think I made mistakes gluing them

Bought these for my truggified typhon. They're a 17mm hex, but the hole in the middle where the end of the hex goes through is way too small. It's like a 5mm or 6mm hole & the typhon hex is 12mm. Anything I can do to make them work short of changing hexes? Couldn't I just drill the hole out w/ a 12mm drill bit? I'm welcome to any/all ideas. Thanks in advance

Are those the Injora set? I'd just enlarge the center with a 1/2" bit.

Yeah, you are correct. I think that's what I'll do. My dewalt bit set only goes up to 3/8" tho so I had to order a 12mm drill bit

Super odd that the hole would be that small though! Weird

That's cuz they're made for the UDR from TRX..they (TRX)have to make things different just for the sake of it I swear
But yeah, I see no reason they can't be drilled out..then you'll have to trim off the fake lugs from the wheel too.

Good point about the lug portion. I wonder if these would even work once the hole is enlarged, might not be able to get the 17mm wheel nut in.

Not my project, but have seen it done..

Yeah, unfortunately I think you're right- I don't think the wheel nut will go on. That sucks but oh well, I'll probably just return them

At least now we know! Hyrax SCXL might be the only route now, aside from U4 tires if the 2.2" wheel fits 1/8 hubs
